Hinge Plate Conveyor
Almost unlimited possibilities
With the SF8 steel hinge plate conveyor, we offer a particularly robust and modular conveyor system suitable for use in a wide variety of industrial environments.
With their hard-wearing steel hinge plate belts, they are ideally prepared for extremely difficult transport tasks and thus convey sharp-edged, heavily soiled, oily or hot goods without any problems. The plate conveyors themselves can be individually configured and our modular construction kit also offers almost all possibilities in terms of design.

Chassis
The Basis
The chassis of the SF8 is made of a torsion-resistant, anodized aluminum profile frame, which forms the belt bridge and thus the basis of our hinge plate conveyors.
With up to six lateral profile grooves, the aluminum chassis offers a wide range of attachment options for supports, accessories and other equipment components. Thanks to our modular construction kit, various designs and equipment variants are available for hinge plate conveyors. This allows us to realize your new conveyor system in the shortest possible time.

Special solutions for special transport tasks. Due to their particularly robust nature, hinge plate conveyors often offer transport solutions with unique properties under difficult conditions. Talk to us, tell us about your project.
Drive
The drive - Unstoppable!
With our efficient drive concepts, our conveyors master every application, no matter how heavy, fast or steep it may be.
The form-fit drive concept enables a slip-free chain drive with simultaneously laterally stable chain guidance. If required, the motors can be equipped with forced cooling fan, brake, thermal monitoring and additional frequency control. We design the drive according to the installation situation and the desired operating mode. Exactly as it should be. In addition to the drive types listed, there is a wide range of special solutions which we will be pleased to design and supply on request.
Direct drive
With the direct drive, a hollow-shaft gearmotor mounted on the drive shaft provides the necessary drive torque. Space-saving and efficient.
Head drive
With the head drive, the motor and drive drum are connected via a chain or timing belt. The motor is arranged below or above the hinge plate conveyor to save space.
Hinge plate belt
Many possibilities - one goal
The particularly robust hinged-plate belt of the SF8 is the main feature of this conveyor system.
It can withstand the most adverse conditions and can be supplied as standard in flat, dimpled, slotted or perforated versions. It is also possible to attach carriers, side boards and even screw-on options for various product fixtures, depending on the application. Various FDA-approved designs are available for use in hygienic areas. There are countless options available for designing your new hinge plate conveyor, contact us, we will be happy to advise you.
Designs:
- flat / dimpled
- slotted / perforated
- perforated & dimpled
- with cleats
- with side boards
- and much more...

We offer appropriate accessories in order to satisfy the individual requirements for industrial conveyor systems.
Exit chutes in product-specific variations are available. Standard funnels or special funnels especially designed and manufactured according to customer speci- fications. A belt cover for protecting parts to be transported from dirt or as contact protec- tion in hazardous surroundings.
Of course, active add-on parts such as stoppers, switches, pushers and much more are also available! Please contact us, we’ll be happy to advise you!
Stainless Steel
An essential material
Especially in hygienically sensitive areas, the use of conveyor systems and machines is associated with special challenges.
As a specialist for conveying technology, we naturally also offer you individual solutions when it comes to logistical processing in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Thanks to our modular construction systems, we can draw on a large portfolio of the most diverse conveyor systems in stainless steel construction. Thanks to many years of experience in the field of stainless steel processing, we can implement systems that meet your special requirements. In this way, we manufacture and supply the right conveyor technology for almost any transport task, and always with an attractive price-performance ratio.
