System Advantages 1

1.    NO TRANSFER POINTS

From the feed hopper to the discharge point, the belt is capable of turning through any angle up to a vertical line and back to horizontal. This eliminates the need for multi drives and prevents product degradation and spillage at transfer points.

2.   

Once the material is loaded onto the belt it is efficiently contained between the sidewalls and is prevented by the cross cleat from falling back. As the belt travels along the conveying line it retains the load within its own ‘side skirts’, eliminating spillage, but more importantly, as the sidewalls actually form part of the belt there is none of the wear normally associated with side skirts. The smooth transition when changing angle also ensures the material remains within the belt’s effective carrying area. 

3. 

In areas where land is at a premium, i.e. dockside, or within existing plant where space is a problem, the SBS SIDE WALL CONVEYOR BELT system provides the ideal solution. With the ability to convey material at angles up to 90 deg. the required ground space is minimal.
