A steel belt system based on an aluminium or stainless-steel machine frame and complete with motion control, tracking, and tensioning components is available from Belt Technologies.

This is an off-the-shelf solution which can be customised to suit specific needs and can be delivered with an unlimited length of conveyor belt in a box directly to the customer.

The belt itself is solid, perforated or plain stainless or carbon steel and is also available with custom attachments, coatings or tooling nests.

A fixed, adjustable or combination rail is provided and there is a choice of stand types: pedestal, H style, fixed adjustable, horizontal, incline with floor attachments or castors.

The motor mount can be above, below or beside the conveyor frame.

Achievable speeds can be varied to suit almost any application and there is an optional auto-track system that monitors belt location continually to provide side-to-side belt positioning.

Timed belt and pulley features are also available.

Electrical options include 115/230V AC or 90V DC single- or three-phase supply.

The high-precision manufacturing tolerances of the belt system are virtually unattainable with other belt materials.

The solid stainless steel or carbon steel belt materials are virtually unstretchable and have an extremely high strength/weight ratio.

Capable of withstanding harsh temperatures or chemical environments, the system gives excellent clean-room capability - typically in the food, pharmaceutical and packaging sectors.
