Distribution systems - Synchronized switch

These are conveyors used for general transportation purposes, in the horizontal or inclined transmission of a wide variety of products to different distances. Material transportation in belt conveyors is provided by the belt stretched between the tension drum and the drive drum, which is moved by a motor-reducer system. Belt selection is made according to the type of product to be transported and types such as PVC, polyurethane, rubber and mesh belts can be selected. It is suitable for transporting boxed, bulk and packaged products. It is the conveyor type with the widest usage area, and its usage capacity is also highly variable. Conveyor leg group and chassis are made of Aluminum or electrostatic powder coated steel construction.

Belt conveyors used for handling bulk solids utilize rubber-covered belts, where the inner carcass of the belt provides the necessary strength to pull and support the conveyed load. The carcass is shielded from damage by layers of rubber, which may vary in thickness depending on the specific application. Belt conveyors exhibit the capability to transport materials across a broad range of rates, spanning from just a few kilograms per minute to several thousand metric tons per hour. ndard troughing angles are commonly set at 0°, 20°, 35°, and 45°. The angle of surcharge is a material-specific property and can be compared to the dynamic angle of repose. The power requirements for belt conveyors hinge on various variables, including the conveyor’s profile, the type of drive-pulley arrangement, belt tensions, belt speed, and idler spacing.

Wire Belt offers a range of straight conveyors designed to ensure efficient operation, improved belt life and maximum cleaning ability. Our straight conveyors feature an open construction with the belt being supported on food grade high density blue polyethylene wear strips clipped to the stainless steel framework. All of our conveyors are suitable for use in hygiene-sensitive environments common to the food and pharmaceutical industries.
