| Belt
systems are predominantly used for handling all types of packaging or
loose products. Depending on the use, the belt finish can either be a
grip surface for inclines, low friction or food quality, this is achieved
using either rubber, PVC or specified materials. The frame construction
can also be manufactured in various materials, eg, mild steel, powder
coated, zinc coated or stainless steel. The
types of product usually conveyed on belts are boxes in plastic or cardboard,
beds, electrical components, coiled cable, waste paper, chemicals, motors
etc. Fixed or
Variable speed can be achieved via an externally mounted end drive unit,
or motorised drum assembly. For reversing facility, a centrally mounted
underslung motor would be used in conjunction with forward and reverse
controls. For more integrated systems, a central external control panel
would be used. Production requirements and facilities determine the construction
and composition of the scheme. |
