Belt Conveyor
Product Description
Aluminium Belt Conveyors:
Belt Conveyors are used to convey a great variety of products/materials along horizontal, declining or inclining paths. Belt conveyors are the most commonly used conveying equipment today due to the wide range of materials it can be used to convey and versatility of it’s design.
Advance belt conveyors offer a very versatile, reliable and cost effective solution to any materials handling problem. Belt conveyors can be bought completely standard or can be tailored specifically to suit a certain environment or application.
Advance will tailor their standard design to suit your application, rather than selling you a “best fit” option.
For example if you decided you would like a standard A8120 belt conveyor but were not sure that you would get enough height adjustment on the leg frames, Advance offer bespoke leg frames built to get the exact height adjustment you require.
Or you wanted an A880 belt conveyor but were concerned that your product wouldn’t transfer very well over 80mm diameter rollers, Advance can tailor their standard belt conveyors for smaller end rollers to suit product transfer problems.
A belt conveyor has several advantages when being considered as a mechanical means of materials conveying.
Some of the advantages are:
- A belt conveyor is one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to move material long distances.
- There is no damage to your product caused by conveying.
- A belt conveyor can have changes in angle of incline/decline.
- The material can be visible on the belt while being conveyed.
- Belt conveyors can be loaded virtually any place along the belt.
- Incline belt conveyors can have flights added to the belt to stop product roll back.
- Belts can have sidewalls added to stop product spillage.
Our Aluminium Belt Conveyors:
A8120 – Modular Aluminium Belt Conveyor
The A8120 aluminium belt conveyor is the heavy duty conveyor in our aluminium range, manufactured from 120*40 aluminium profile, it is a robust and extremely reliable unit. Used by customers in a massive range of industries to carry a massive range of products the A8120 model is ideal for larger conveyor systems and production lines.
The aluminium profile is ideal for enhancing and adding to the conveyor allowing equipment like labellers, bar code readers and pushers to be easily mounted to the conveyor frame.
Standard belt widths start at 280mm and increase in 50mm increments, the conveyor can be made whatever length you require (lengths over 6000mm may require drive upgrades depending on loading). There are a massive range of additions you can order with your conveyor from electrical control panels, adjustable or fixed position side guides, dead plates, hoppers, chutes etc.
A880 – Modular Aluminium Belt Conveyor:
The A880 aluminium belt conveyor is a lighter duty version of the A8120. Manufactured with 80*40mm aluminium extrusion, with an 80mm diameter driven roller the conveyor is ideal for small, lightweight applications and is very often used alongside other equipment such as labellers.
Belt widths on the A880 range start at 330mm and increase at 50mm increments. The conveyor can be fitted with 38mm or even smaller diameter idler rollers to allow the outfeed to be pushed up tight against other conveyors thus allowing a really close transfer point.
A840 – Modular Aluminium Belt Conveyor:
The A840 aluminium belt conveyor is a narrow, low profile belt conveyor that is ideal for small products transferring between machines.
Where the A880 and A8120 belt conveyors are driven by end mounted motorised drums the A840 conveyor is driven with a shaft mounted geared motor with an under-slung drive unit.
The conveyor can be mounted onto a leg frame or can very easily be mounted into existing frameworks and machines.
Mild Steel Belt Conveyors:
Advance mild steel belt conveyors are a very cost effective, heavy duty and reliable option for transporting product. Manufactured with laser cut mild steel side frames powder coated to the colour required, they are a very robust and versatile model of conveyor suitable for a wide range of industries and applications.
As we have our own powder coating facility we can offer conveyors on short lead times, can be sure on the quality of the powder coated finish and offer extremely competitive prices on the conveyors.
Mild steel belt conveyors can be fitted with the same mechanical and electrical additions as aluminium conveyors, and can be incorporated into larger conveyor systems and automated processes.
The mild steel range of belt conveyors are a very cost effective alternative to the aluminium conveyor range whilst still maintaining a number of the features and benefits.
