Modular belt conveyors are a middle ground between belt conveyors and chain conveyors. A modular belt consists of individual plastic modules usually linked together with joint rods. This modular belt is driven by chain sprockets; the base frame of the conveyor is constructed on standard profile supports.
Advantages of this conveyor is that they can move product round bends and corners as well as inclines requiring only one drive unit making it cost effective. The modular belts can withstand high or low temps, wet or dry conditions and have no tracking problems. Low maintenance as belts can be removed for maintenance or cleaning with the minimum impact on production shut down time.
