A vertical conveyor is essentially a horizontal conveyor that has been turned on its side to position the conventional belt surface vertically. Perforation patterns and keyholes may be combined with custom belts and nest attachments to hang or carry products through an automated process. Belt Technologies can engineer and manufacture PureSteel®stainless steel belts to your specific applications, and assemble a full custom vertical conveyor system to meet them.
Benefits of Vertical Conveyor Belts
Vertical conveyors are used in automation applications to transport products with a minimal footprint, increasing efficiency of production lines. Their benefits include the following:
• Product touch points are decreased.
• Surfaces are less likely to accumulate debris.
• They are easy to clean.
• They are resistant to bacterial adhesion.
• Processes can be perforated on both sides of the conveyor simultaneously.
Vertical Conveyor Belt Applications
Applications of vertical conveyors include:
• Medical device production and processing
• Plating and coating products
• Material lift (Raising and lowering products)
• Creatively transporting uniquely shaped products
Benefits of Stainless Steel Belt Vertical Conveyor Systems
In addition to the opportunities offered by vertical belt positioning, benefits of PureSteel®stainless steel conveyor belts include:
• No need for lubricants
• Customizable with a wide variety of attachments and perforations
• High resistance to chemical corrosion
• High resistance to high or low temperatures
• Surface coatings and treatments to optimize product handling
