Belt conveyor

Overhead conveyors, such as continuous conveyors or continuous pipe conveyors, are in demand where greater distances need to be spanned for the transport of piece goods. These overhead conveying systems make optimum use of the structural conditions of production halls or pre-storage areas. Even with complex systems, larger areas on the ground remain free for other purposes. The RBS overhead conveyor BK30 is suitable for the transport of unit loads weighing up to 60 kg with a minimum usable conveyor distance of 152.40 mm. It is characterised by its high flexibility in the implementation of the line management. Possible areas of application are the transport of piece goods between processing stations, cooling lines, the return of empties, conveying through painting and coating systems, conveying in a final assembly area or in the shipping area. The guideway consists of a slotted pipe that protects the link chain inside from contamination. This and the compact design make such a continuous conveyor particularly suitable for soiled environments. The chain, with joints made of heavy-duty sintered metal on the moving parts, fulfils a double function: It acts as a means of traction and a means of carrying loads.
