Zero Contact 90 Degree Modular Belt

Zero contact 90-degree modular belts represent a breakthrough in conveyor belt technology, designed to smoothly transition products around corners with minimal contact. These belts feature a unique construction pattern with specialized modules that allow for seamless product transfer without the need for traditional transfer mechanisms. Typically constructed from interlocking plastic modules, these belts offer flexibility and durability for various conveying applications.

There are several types of zero contact 90-degree modular belts designed to meet specific application requirements. These include straight-running belts with specialized modules, spiral belts, and radius belts with zero contact capabilities. Straight-running belts with zero contact modules are commonly used in accumulation conveyor systems where gentle product handling is essential to prevent product damage. Spiral belts with zero contact capabilities are utilized in spiral conveyor systems for vertical transportation, while radius belts with zero contact modules navigate corners smoothly without disrupting product flow.

Zero contact 90-degree modular belts find applications across a wide range of industries that require gentle and efficient material handling solutions, particularly in environments where delicate or fragile products need to be conveyed. They are commonly used in food and beverage processing, packaging, pharmaceuticals, and electronics manufacturing, where product integrity is paramount.

The advantages of zero contact 90-degree modular belts are significant. Their unique module design allows for seamless product transfer around corners without the need for traditional transfer mechanisms, reducing the risk of product damage or jamming during transportation. Additionally, these belts offer flexibility in conveyor system design, allowing for custom layouts to fit specific space constraints or production requirements. They also provide durability and longevity, resulting in lower maintenance costs and extended service life.

Key parameters for designing these belts include belt width, module size, pitch, and height of the modules. These parameters are tailored to specific application requirements such as load capacity, product size, conveyor speed, and the degree of contact sensitivity needed. Additionally, considerations for belt tension, tracking, and drive configuration are essential for optimizing belt performance and ensuring smooth and efficient product handling. By carefully evaluating these design parameters, manufacturers can create zero contact 90-degree modular belts that provide efficient and reliable material handling solutions for various industries.
