A conveyor belt is defined as: a system in a factory or other production environment that conveys the products that are being produced on a belt past workers, machines and/or robots. An important feature of a conveyor system is that it carries out repetitive operations.
The very first conveyor belts were made of leather, these days they are mostly made of rubber or plastic. Over the years, these materials have proven to be strong and durable.
Nowadays, conveyor belts offer virtually endless application possibilities. A major advantage of conveyor belts is that production processes can be carried out systemically much faster. In addition, they are less prone to faults, resulting in fewer production losses when compared to a manual process.
Conveyor belt applications can be found in almost every field of industry. These include, among others, the food, agricultural and recycling industries.
- The cleats. Available in all types and sizes. Made from synthetic or rubber, with our Hotcleat® cleats for rubber conveyors being the most popular.
- Longitudinal edges along the sides of both rubber and synthetic conveyor belts, to ensure minimal production losses,
- Guide ropes, located at the bottom of the belt, for guiding the rubber and synthetic conveyor belts.
- Troughing idler assemblies and carrier rollers are used to support both synthetic and rubber conveyor belts.
- Drive and tail drums provide guiding, to prevent mistracking.
- A belt scraper ensures optimal conveyor belt cleanliness.
