Modular conveyors expand

MK Profile Systems has further developed its SBF-P2000 modular plastic slat conveying system.

MK Profile Systems has further developed its modular plastic slat conveying system SBF-P2000.

The increased popularity of MK modular conveyors and their interchangeability with the MK modular aluminium framework system has been recently enhanced with many new profiles, conveyors and other innovations.

The MK plastic slat chain conveyor SBF-P2000 uses standard plastic or steel slat chain but has a construction based on a robust 100 x 50mm solid profile, rather than the thin wall profiles more commonly used.

This together with the extensive use of machined solid wearstrip material gives the SBF-P200 conveyor a strength and capacity significantly higher than other similar systems.

The conveyor has now been developed further to encompass new conveyor widths in addition to the standard 100mm.

New widths of 130, 170, 205 and 320mm are now available.

These new conveyor designs increase the physical capacity able to be transported and also reduce the need for multilane installations, giving a wide slat capacity with a single conveyor thereby reducing costs significantly.

All normal bends, changeovers and inclines are possible with the new systems.
