Conveyor belts are often used to transport bulk materials over long distances, especially in the stone, soil, mining and brown coal industries.
Despite good scrapers, material residue often remains on the conveyor belt because of striations and minor damage.
The result large amounts of material accumulate beneath the conveyor belt system in the area of the return rollers, and have to be removed by costly cleaning work involving many workers.
FTK TURN Operating principle
The FTK TURN belt turning station made of highly wear resistant polyurethane turns the conveyor belt through 180 degrees after material transport directly in the reverse direction or into the lower drum.
Because of the turning process, the inner, clean side of the belt which never comes into contact with the transported material now has its surface facing down towards the ground.
Cleaning is a thing of the past!
Industrial Production
Industrial production includes a large number of applications.
These range from the automotive and tire industry, to steel manufacturing or metalworking, as well as areas like industrialized and customized mechanical engineering, the chemical or recycling industries.
Forbo conveyor and processing belts, plastic modular belts and high-efficiency flat belts stand for reliability and efficiency. They can easily handle the key functions in all industries mentioned.
