The main advantages of this kind of belt conveyor are 1 - That the product can be swiped off the side of the belt, even if it is relatively heavy, without the belt deviating from its direction of travel and alignment.
2 - The belt has extremely low friction and is very resistant to wear.
3 - The belt is positively driven via a sprocket.
4 - The belt can be used in the food industry, has a high chemical resistance and can withstand high temperatures.
5 - Maintenance operations such as tensioning and belt replacement can be carried out with little effort.
There are two drive types available AC and AS.
Modular sidewalls and cleats can be fitted also.
As with all mk conveyors the conveyor is constructed from standard mk aluminium profile, allowing fast, reliable connection with the supporting framework.
