Space saving unit promises low noise operation and extended belt lifetime
March 1st 2011 The new Interroll Belt Curve
Type 4608 is said to combine
a slimline, space-saving
design, with operational benefits and
extended belt lifetime.
The design of the new Interroll
Belt Curve incorporates cylindrical
return rollers to reduce belt tension
(as opposed to tapered return
rollers) and as a result this is said to
drastically reduce wear and
significantly increase lifetime. In
order to compensate for the lack of
tension, the belt is driven via a
toothed profile integrated on the
outer edge.
Even with the higher lifecycles of
the belts, if any maintenance is
required or the belt has to be
changed, this is an easy matter and
can be completed within 10
minutes.
The company says: "This has been
achieved through innovative design
of the Interroll belt curve, as the
motor does not have to be
dismantled and all mechanical parts
required to install the belt
(excluding safety guards) can be
removed and re-fitted without using
tools.
The extremely low, slimline
profile design, measuring only
160mm deep overall, is space saving
and is ideal for integrating into
systems, especially where belt
conveyors operate in tiers, above
each other."
Said to set new standards, the
quiet running belt curve will operate
at speeds of 0.1 – 2.5 m/s, and with
noise levels under 64 dB (A).
Interroll Belt Curves can be
made–to–measure according to the
customer's application requirements.
Thanks to top and bottom 'T' slots, a
feature of the aluminium extrusion
used to form the side profiles,
Interroll Belt Curves can very easily
be integrated into the customers
supporting steelwork. A range of
additional accessory parts can be
also be specified and mounted, if
required to support handling
operations.
Interroll reports: "The new Belt
Curve offers significant design
improvements that result in
improved longer belt lifecycle and
extremely short belt change time if
required, which in turn means
improved cost-efficiencies.'' More articles from Interroll Ltd: |
