Belt conveyors

The belt conveyor can transport shipping units horizontally, upwards or downwards to a defined destination.

If the belt conveyor moves at an incline either up or down, an additional belt is used at the lower end. The transmission takes place with a low-maintenance chain transmission. To ensure that the transfer to the next conveyor is as smooth and quiet as possible, transition bends with increments of 6 degrees are used at the upper conveyor level.

A belt conveyor is driven by a head or middle drive. Because of the more economical use of material in the head drive, it is lighter and requires fewer spare parts. However, due to the larger belt wrap angle with the middle drive, the drive power can be better transferred to the belt. This makes it possible to build longer belts and transport heavier weights. The belt can also be tensioned in two ways. Either by shifting the drive/deflection drum at the head drives or by a tension pulley in the middle drive station. The advantage of the middle clamping station is that it can be operated from one side. In all cases, the belt runs via the deflection drum.

The belt conveyor is equipped with separately height-adjustable support feet to optimally adjust the conveying level. In the case of ceiling mounting, suitable suspension devices are included for easy installation on site.

The base frame and transverse spacers of our belt conveyor are made of extruded aluminium with a wall thickness of 4 mm and are additionally bolted to ensure maximum stability. The side guides can be integrated into the profile or set up as an additional guide above the scaffolding. The belt’s running surface is made of galvanized sheet steel.
