High quality belting is the essential ingredient for belt conveyors and they come in various shapes and forms.
The information below is to highlight the different belts we use. We do not supply belting as a single product - Only to existing clients who already have one of our conveyors on site.
In
addition to the traditional forms of belting (below) Mobility
also offer the more modern Modular Belt (see images
below). Modular (plastic) belting is now being used more frequently
on belt conveyor systems because of it's durability and it's
multi-functional properties. Modular belting is generally
constructed from either polypropylene (temperature
range of +5 Degrees to +105 Degrees), polyethylene
(temperature range of -70 Degrees to +65 Degrees) or polyacetal
(temperature range of -40 Degrees to +60 Degrees). As it is
a series of links, the belt can be constructed to suit the
application. Eg, the links can be very narrow to allow small
end drums for transferring products, Or, the belt can
be an opened top flush grid to allow air or water to be passed
through the belt, Or, the belt can have a radius flush
grid for use on bends. The modular belts can also incorporate
a grip top for inclines.
The
traditional pvc/pu belting is still widely used due to it
being more cost effective than modular belting, and in instances
such as horizontal packing, picking or assembly lines etc,
we would generally propose using smooth PVC, or where
the belt is in contact with food we would recommend food grade
PU. If an elevation is required we would recommend
a grip face rubber belt, although if the angle of inclination
exceeds approximately 24 Degrees then the belt would have
to include flights. Many belts have a woven back which helps
grip the end and return rollers, and in addition to this we
also supply belts that have tracking strip profiles underneath
which folds down over the steel skid base, therefore no tracking
is required.
