Plastic Belt Conveyors

Plastic Belt Conveyors

Resistant to cold and leaked materials, quick replacement of the elements, can be a straight, curved, or inclined/declined shape. This is a plastic belt conveyor.

What benefits will you get while utilizing it?

• Wide applications are due to the various types of belts. Plastic belts are usually made from polypropylene. This material has high impact toughness and can work at operating temperatures circa 100°C. A plus point is that the material is resistant to mold. Thus, the modular plastic conveyor belt is simply disinfected, so food grade plastic conveyor belt can be used in the food and beverage industry, as well as in the pharmaceutical and electronics industries.
• Low maintenance means a higher ROI. A plastic belt conveyor has a modular design; therefore, you can replace some damaged sections without changing the whole belt. The longer the conveyor runs, the potentially increased production time and higher the turnover.
• Available in different constructions. A plastic link conveyor belt can be given any shape to suit the application of a particular conveyor. Plastic modular belt conveyors exist in types such as inclined/inclined, straight, and curved.

Types of plastic belt conveyors

Flat top plastic belt parts conveyor with flights series 900 from Roach. This model is specifically designed to convey small parts with standard 2” high streamline flights. Optional features include flights in 1” and 4” heights and overlapping side guards. The belting approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA): series 900 flat top gray polypropylene belt with 2” high streamline flights on 11.9” centers. This inclined model can have 30, 36, and 45 degrees. The belt speed is 35 FPM, constant.

Friction top plastic belt conveyor (700PB) is ideal for general goods transportation in packing, testing, inspecting, and various assembly line operations. This straight model is faster than the previous, their belt speed is 60 FPM.

Flush grid plastic belt conveyor curve. Use model 700PBC for applications requiring 30°, 45°, 60° or 90° curves. S-curve formations are also available with minimum center tangent length twice belt width. Additional straight tangents may be added at the discharge (drive) end. This belt model is approved by the FDA & the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The motor drive: 1/3 HP, 230/460/3, 60 cycles, ODP right angle gear motor on 45-degree and 90-degree curves; 3/4 HP supplied on all 180-degree curves.

Raised rib plastic belt conveyor. Conveyors with raised rib plastic belts are designed for transporting, accumulating, and transferring cans, bottles, or other small items that are normally difficult to transfer. Finger transfer plates are provided on both ends of the conveyor to facilitate smooth product transfer.

A transverse roller top plastic belt conveyor is ideal for applications requiring 90° product transfer on or off, product centering, or carton rotation (“box turner”). The product can be diverted from or merged onto a conveyor with standard transverse-mounted rollers in the belt. 

Heavy-duty plastic belt conveyor series 1200 flat top belting is used on model HD1200PB for heavy unit loads and pallet handling. And series 400 flat top belting is used on model HD400PB for heavy unit loads. The belt speed of both is 35 FPM.
