The basics of modular conveyors
conveyors use plastic chain, which is also modular. The chain is usually made from links that mix and match to fit the application. For instance, a cleated link at every fifth link could move items along an incline as steep as 90 . In the future, cleated links at every tenth position, or perhaps a taller

Introduction to Plastic Modular Belts
different plastics; PP (Polypropylene), PE (Polyethylene), and POM (Acetal). Other plastics are available, but are not as common as the aforenoted types. Each plastic type has its own unique set of characteristics that affect the function of the conveyor belt. Some of these important traits include

The Basics of Lightweight Conveyor Belting
plastic, never painted. Width of support: belt width + 50mm. Belt Support Return Section. Pitch of return rollers: 2-3 meters. Drive Drum. Position: preferably at the head of the conveyor resulting in a pulling arrangement. Arc of contact with belt: as large as possible; > 180 degrees. Coefficient

Quick-Change Conveyors
. The three narrower conveyers use modular plastic belts with a flush grid pattern. The belts’ design leaves 35% of the belt surface open and lets ceramic dust and chips generated in deburring fall through the conveyor into a collector. The three new conveyors also permit some flexibility
