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
  • Belt type
  • Roller or slider bed
  • Purchase component brands
  • Drive configurations
