Understanding the Efficiency of a Modular Belt Conveyor
A modular belt conveyor is a very versatile and robust conveying system that has become very common in manufacturing industry, food, packaging, warehousing, and other industries. This type of conveyor is made of interlocked plastic blocks that provide the conveyor with superior flexibility, durability as well as easy maintenance. The design of the conveyor belt allows it to transport products of various sizes, shapes, and weights, as well as make the movement of items in the production lines smooth and stable. What Is a Modular Belt Conveyor? A modular belt conveyor consists of a belt of separate plastic modules attached to each other by hinge rods. This design enables the belt to be fairly easily repaired, customized, and lengthened. The modular design of the belt also accommodates the straight, curved and the spiral layouts where the conveyor can be a flexible solution to complex material flow systems. Major features are: Belt modules made up of interlocking plastics. Very resis...
