Straight running belts, Pitch 25 mm (0.98 in) Belts for light-duty food and container handling applications Design characteristics Hinges that open wide provides an easy-to-clean belt design Low belt weight reduces energy consumption Open edge design on flat top versions for unhindered drainage and closed edge design on grid top and raised rib versions Components: Sprockets In different sizes with round or square sprocket bore Profiles In different heights and designs for inclines Side guards In different heights for retention of bulk products Finger plates For raised rib types

When pushers and ploughs are used, the belt’s laterally stiff design guarantees that it will lie flat and continue to run in a straight line reliably. The lateral loading and discharge of goods is achieved by using very smooth, wear-resistant surfaces. Lateralsorters (e.g. carrier cells), on the other hand, require very thin, flexible belts whose surfaces have high coefficients of friction. Their special tension member construction means that they have very low energy consumption.
