Chassis
The Basis
The torsion-resistant, anodized aluminum profile frame forms the belt bridge and thus the basis of our modular belt conveyors. Thanks to our modular construction kit, various designs and materials are also available for modular belt conveyors.
The chassis of the MF8 modular chain conveyor can be made of anodized aluminum profiles or stainless steel. In the standard version, we supply the conveyor belt with a deflection of 100 mm, driven by a three-phase geared motor at a supply voltage of 230/400 V -50 Hz.
Modular belt conveyors can also be manufactured with the particularly compact GF3 chassis. With an overall height of only 35 mm, it makes optimum use of the available installation space and can thus also be used in confined spaces.
Product examples
Special solutions for special transport tasks. Due to their particularly robust nature, modular belt conveyors offer transport solutions with unique properties under difficult conditions quite often. 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 positive drive concept enables a slipfree chain drive with laterally stable chain guidance at the same time. If required, the motors can be equipped with a forced cooling fan, brake, thermal monitoring and additional frequency control. Whether direct or indirect connection between motor and drive roller - 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 modular belt conveyor to save space.
Center drive
Various versions with center drive are available for reversing operation or confined installation conditions at the deflectors. The position of the drive can be flexibly selected below the chassis.
Modular Belt
Many possibilities - one goal
The main feature of the MF8 is the low-wear plastic modular chain. It can be supplied in various plastics with different surface finishes up to chains with FDA approval.
There are countless possibilities for designing the modular chain. Whether open-meshed or closed chains, with cleats and side guides or a particularly compact return roller of only 12 mm - the modular chain is always assembled to suit the required transport task. Contact us, we will be happy to advise you.
Designs:
- open mesh
- closed
- with cleats
- with side guides
- and much more...
Designs
Always the right design
From curved belts to horizontal, inclined or kinked conveyors with negative or positive kink as well as Z-conveyors with both kink variants, we also offer you practically every design in the area of modular chain conveyors.
The modular construction kit of the MF8 conveyor system offers countless accessories for designing your new transport line. On request, mechanical add-on parts such as side guides, hoppers and funnels or foot supports, as well as electrical and pneumatic components, can be adapted to the required transport task.
Not everyone builds so wide
For special applications, we also offer the modular chain conveyors in kink and Z-design in a particularly wide version. Thanks to a further developed chain guide and special flights on its underside, ascending conveyors of almost any width can be realized.
Curves
Economic solutions
For planning your new transport line, our modular construction kit also offers curves in different designs. We manufacture curve module and curve conveyor in 90° angle as standard and other angles are available on request. Both variants convince economically compared to the often used PVC belt curves.
Compact curve module
Thanks to its steel chassis, the compact curve module is extremely robust and offers optimum product support thanks to the closed chain surface. We offer the curve module in widths from 200 to 1400 mm in 200 mm increments.
Curved conveyor
The MF8 curve conveyor supplements the curve with straight segments in the infeed and outfeed. With its help, particularly economical conveying concepts driven by just one motor can be implemented. Unlike the compact curve, the curve conveyor uses an open-meshed chain, which allows air and/or liquids to pass through. We deliver the curved conveyor in widths from 200 to 1,200 mm in 50 mm increments.
Accessories
Side guides & supports
Side guides
Our modular system offers you a wide range of different product guides. In addition to the technical designs, we naturally also supply side guides in stainless steel construction for use in hygienic areas.
Designs
- Rigid or adjustable
- Straight or angled
- In desired height
- Height and width adjustable
- Stainless steel construction
- And much more...
Supports
Our conveyors are always delivered with a stable base frame, manufactured from anodised aluminium profiles. The height is individually adjusted to the requirements, and can also be seamlessly adjusted +/- 50 mm after delivery. We’re also happy to advise you in terms of ergonomics for the design of the base frame.
Versions
- Supports with machine feet (fixed)
- Pivoting supports
- Height adjustable supports
- Compact central support
- Particularly slim two-legged supports
- Stainless steel construction
- Special supports can be easily produced
Special Equipment
Bunker, funnel, cover etc.
In order to meet your individual requirements, we offer appropriate accessories.
Exit chutes in product-specific variations are available. Standard funnels or special funnels especially designed and manufactured according to customer specifications. A belt cover for protecting parts to be transported from dirt or as contact protection in hazardous surroundings.
Of course, active add-on parts such as stoppers, switches, pushers and much more are also available! Please contact us, we will 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.
