Flexible Conveyor System with Bends

Standard chain material is acetal resin (POM) with the conveyor frame available in aluminium or stainless steel, which is selected depending on the customer environment.

Aluminium chain conveyors are based on an anodized aluminium beam fitted with low friction slide rail which precisely guides the flexible MODU plastic chain. Tight radius wheel bends and larger radius plain bends mean products, large and small can be carried around both horizontal and vertical conveyor bends. Bends start at 150mm radius with bend angles of 30, 45, 90 and 180. Attachments are added to the chain enabling products to be carried up inclines or gripped and lifted vertically. Guide rails on the sides of the conveyor make sure that the products stay on track. For more information about our fliexble chain conveyors, send us a message or give us a call.

Idler End

Standard Drive Units

Pull the chain from one end of the modular conveyor. The chain returns on the bottom of the conveyor beam, passing through an idler end at the other end.

Suspended Drive Units

The motor is positioned below the drive. This kind of drive is applicable when the conveyors are placed side by side, or when feeding into a machine.

Combined Drive Units

Those that have a drive unit and an idler end together in one unit. This is used in areas where transfer from drive unit of one chain conveyor to another of the same size is required. The transfer area is provided with steel plate, gravity transfer rollers or powered transfer rollers depending on product type and length.
