A conveyor belt moves products or packaging on an endlessly circulating belt from one station to the next. It links machines into one continuous line.
Design and function
The belt runs over a driven drum and a tail drum. In between it is carried by a slider bed or a row of idlers. A tensioning device keeps the belt taut and guides keep it on track. The drive is a geared motor or a drum motor.
Besides smooth plastic belts there are modular belts made of individual plastic links, which are easy to repair and clean. For inclines the belts carry cleats or side walls.
