Modular Belt Conveyor
We manufacture stand alone modular conveyors for integration as well as complete conveyor systems
Modular belt conveyors are an extremely robust solution for most transport applications. The belts are hard-wearing, and with the correct specified material, they can be used for the transportation of sharp-edged products. The easy-to-clean design is the ideal solution for direct food applications or areas where chemicals are used. The positive drive on modular belt conveyors increases reliability, whilst the materials used in its construction are ideal for wash down environments

What is a modular belt conveyor ?
A modular belt conveyor is a flat belt conveyor and is made up of individual plastic or steel modules usually linked together using joint rods. Modular belt conveyors are suitable for conveying components or packed materials throughout production areas inside factories. An advantage of a modular belt conveyor is that curved sections of belts are available.
What are modular conveyors used for?
Modular conveyors are often used in the food industry due to the ease in which the belt can be removed and cleaned. As the belt consists of multiple interlocking modules it allows for air or liquids to pass through the belt.
Modular conveyors are also used to transport:
- Small items such as screws and components
- Plastic boxes and totes
- Heavier items on pallets
- Cardboard boxes and packages
- Irregular packages, parcels and sachets in soft packaging.
Areas in which modular conveyors can be found include:
- Packaging lines
- Cooling and drying applications (air can permeate through belt)
- Assembly lines
- Tray merging or routing
- Warehousing distribution
- Clean rooms
- Pharmaceutical applications
What are the advantages of using modular conveyors?
- Range of material options
