A flexible conveyor belt is a type of three-dimensional conveying system that combines various elements, and it represents an ideal and convenient solution for automated production lines. Therefore, it is widely used in industries such as food, cigarettes, mineral water, cardboard boxes, bearing manufacturing, gear processing, pharmaceuticals, electronic component assembly lines, and packaging lines. Today, let’s learn about the basic principles underlying flexible conveyor belts: (1) The conveyor chain of a flexible conveyor belt is made of white, high-strength engineering plastic. They can be divided into flat chains, universal chains, steel-top chains, wedge chains, ball chains, etc. (2) Flexible conveyor beam: composed of anodized aluminum alloy profiles on the surface and friction slides. (3) Flexible conveyor frame: Also composed of aluminum alloy profiles with anodized surfaces. (4) Flexible conveyor drive unit: Composed of aluminum drive heads and tails cast using powder metallurgy processes. (5) Flexible conveyor guide device: Guardrails on both sides that ensure the material always moves in the middle position of the chain plates. (6) Flexible conveyor turning device: An internal support mechanism for the chain plate when it turns. They are divided into horizontal elbows, vertical elbows, horizontal wheel elbows, and horizontal wheels. (7) Flexible conveyor accessories: including connectors, liquid holding trays, etc.
