BELT CONVEYOR

Description

Belt conveyors have a belt running over a slider bed surface or a bed of rollers. Fabric belts are friction driven using a lagged drive pulley. Plastic and wire mesh belts are direct driven using drive shafts and sprockets. Flat, V-trough and adjustable beds are common requirements requested.

Belt conveyors are needed when conveying loose or small parts or when products do not have a flat bottom surface to convey. The belt helps to support the irregular shapes allowing them to be successfully transported down the conveyor.

Applications

Automotive – Tire, Seat, Powertrain

Belt conveyors typically use a flat belt with a friction drive pulley and a take up pulley
Belt conveyors with fabric belts can range from 6” wide up to 117” wide (3 meters) based on belt availability
Standard belt speeds range from 10 to 200 fpm
Special component options will allow belts to run as high as 400 fpm
Fixed end pulleys help product transitions

Paper, Textile, Foam and Pipe Handling

V-trough or profile beds assist in conveying round products like rolls of paper, cloth, foam and pipes
With inner frame tilting capabilities, unloading to a perpendicular conveyor is easily managed
Standard belt speeds range from 10 to 200 fpm
Conveyors can be as short as 3’ long or run for 200’ in length

Stamping and Metal Processing

Slider pans can be adjustable to support multiple size product diameters if required
Beds can extend or retract for ease of die change out in stamping processes or for crossing aisle ways for continuous conveying
