A modular conveyor is a flat belt conveyor made up of individual modules that can be linked together to create different track layouts. They are also known as radius belts.
Works
- Modular conveyors are made of plastic or steel modules that are linked together with joint rods and pins.
- The modules can be reconfigured to create different track layouts, including curved, straight, and incline.
- Modular conveyors are often designed with hygiene in mind.
Benefits
- Modular conveyors are robust and can tolerate low and high temperatures.
- They are wear resistant and can transport products with sharp edges.
- The modular design allows liquids from the product to drip through the chain.
Applications
Modular conveyors can be used for a variety of transport applications, including food, high temperatures, and chemical resistance.
Safety and Maintenance
- It's important to ensure moving parts are well-lubricated and to make necessary adjustments to belt tension and alignment.
- Regular upkeep can prolong the lifespan of the equipment and prevent costly breakdowns.
