A modular belt conveyor is a flat belt conveyor that’s made up of individual stainless steel modules that are often linked together using joint rods. They are the middle ground between belt conveyors and chain conveyors – providing a versatile, yet reliable, solution for the conveyance of products.

Modular belt conveyors are an excellent choice for conveying components and packaged foods throughout production areas within factories. They are widely used in the food and beverage industry but have also been known to come in handy for clean rooms or pharmaceutical applications – thanks to their hygienic properties and ease of cleaning.

Depending on the amount of space you have available, and loads permitting, modular belt food conveyors can incorporate 90 and 180° turns that enable products to be conveyed on winding routes throughout your production plant. Due to the nature of the belt itself, they come in useful for transferring products through inclined paths, as well as horizontal and helical paths.

Benefits of modular belt conveyors

Constructed from food-grade stainless steel, our modular belt conveyors are extremely rugged and long-lasting. They can tolerate both high and low temperatures and have an open structure too, which allows for superb airflow – perfect for heating, drying, and cooling applications.

One of the biggest benefits of these modular belt food conveyors is that they can move your products around bends, corners and inclines using one drive unit – making them a cost-effective investment for your business.

The belt can be removed as and when required for routine maintenance and cleaning, and replaced in just a matter of minutes – having minimal impact on production shutdown time.
