Belt Conveyors Specification
Widths from 100mm up to 1000mm in 50mm increments. Lengths from 600mm up to 40 meters can be supplied using one motor.
The diameter of the end drum is matched by a rolled steel section; this section sits underneath the belt by 25mm at both ends of the drum. Therefore no nip points are created when transferring product to and from the conveyor.
A quick release device is used to release the tension from the belt. This is normally used when the quick removal of is needed or when the cleaning of the underside. No adjustment is needed before or after use.
Tensioning is done in the middle of the section, this means that the ends of the belts do not grow. Close transfers are therefore possible. End drums of 50mm dia are used to keep gaps to a minimum.
All of our Conveyors are built to British Standards of Health and Safety and come with a fully warrantee for your peace of mind so be assured C-Trak will not let you down.
Belt Conveyor Systems made mobile and portable for storage
All of C-Trak’s range of conveyors can be made mobile by adding castors to the leg assembly. Size of casters will depend on the weight being carried, we can supply the castors in swivel or fixed. Brakes can be added to ensure that the conveyor stays fixed in position. Please take a look at our Portable Conveyor page.
Belt Conveyer Systems F A Q
1. Do the Belts Stretch?
Yes they do after the conveyors have been running for a while and bedded in the belts will need to be re-tensioned. Sometimes a belt can stretch as much as 10% of the original length.
2. Do C-Trak fit side walls to there belts?
Yes we can sizes start at 20mm high. The diameter of the drums will be affected by this.
3. What sizes are your belts?
We can provide in any width required but our standard range start at 100mm up to 800mm. We have in the past supplied widths of 2 metres.
4. Can you provide a food quality belt conveyor systems?
Yes the belts are food grade and the frame is made from stainless steel. Take a look at our Food Conveyor range.
5. Do you supply flights to your belt elevators?
Yes flights can be added sizes start from 20mm to 150mm and pitched at required distance.
6. How do I stop the belts tracking off?
Belts come off track for many reasons please check the following:-
- Is the framework on a square level?
- Have the drums been crowned, this helps the belt position itself?
- The end , tension and drive drums should all be square to each other.
7. Do you replace belts?
It is easy to replace a belts you can either repair a belt by joining it using a method called vulcanising. Or a new endless length of belts can be fitted.
8. Conveyor belts can stick after a hose down and burn out the motor can this be avoided?
A quick release unit can be fitted which will take the tension off of the belts. Tracking and tension will stay the same.
9. Can I get close transfer between my conveyors?
This can be achieved by using 50mm dia end drums. Tensioning of the belts is done mid conveyor ensuring it remains the same no matter how much the belt stretches. Our Transfer Conveyor page will give you more information
10. Can I run an belt conveyor system at an angle?
An angle of approx 40 degrees can be achieved without using flights. But this all depends on your product being conveyed. Take a look at our Elevator Conveyors for more information
11. Is it ok to transport raw food on a belt conveyor?
Almost any product can be handled with a belt conveyor providing the correct belt is selected.
12. What is the smallest transfer gap?
C-Trak provide a Mini Range of conveyors for light duty applications and use a 32mm dia drum. Alternatively you can travel around a knife edge to give a gap of 4mm.
13. What speed can a belt conveyor run at?
Typically 2 metres per minute to 50 metres per minute. However this depends on your product.
14. Can the speed be varied?
This can be achieved by adding an inverter or a mechanical variator.
15. Does a belt conveyor accumulate?
Yes it can be done using low friction to an extremely high grip. Again this depends on your product.
16. Can my belt conveyor be portable?
All of C-Trak's Conveyors can be made into Portable Conveyors by adding castors to the leg assembly.
