Mail and parcels conveyor systems
Elevator belt conveyors
Elevator belt conveyors are used to transport parcels to a defined destination. They are either ascending at the beginning of the conveyor and then horizontal or first horizontal and then descending. Transmission is carried out via head drives or middle drives.
Due to the more economical use of material in the head drive, it is lighter and fewer spare parts are required. However, due to the larger wrap angle of the belt, the drive power can be better transferred to the belt with the middle drive. This makes it possible to build longer belts and to transport heavier weights. The belt can also be tensioned in two ways: Either by shifting the drive/deflection drum or by a central middle tensioning station, whereby the latter can also be operated from one side.
The elevator belt conveyors 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.
