Flex turn^® curve conveyor

Features and Benefits

• Gentle handling minimizes product damage
• Easy to use, clean and maintain
• Versions in stainless steel and UHMW-PE
• Adjustable standard height from 870 – 1070mm
• Belt speed up to 11m/minute

The Flex Turn^® Series offers a selection of different sizes, belt widths and configurations for almost every application. Curve radii of 90° or 180° are our standard, but intermediate radii of 45° to 180° are also readily available.

• The 600 Series Flex-Turn^® Curve conveyor is an open frame machine made of stainless steel and has polyethylene guide rails. The open structure allows for easy removal of dirt and facilitates cleaning.
• The 700 Series Flex-Turn^® Curve conveyor consists of a solid polyethylene surface. This prevents the product from falling through or becoming entangled in the strands of the conveyor belt.
• The 800 Series Flex-Turn^® Curved conveyor features a solid belt surface and stainless steel guide rails, making it particularly suitable for meat processing applications.

Technical specifications

There is Flex-Turn with a total of thirteen different band sizes, right and left orientation and radii between 45° and 180° to choose from^® Curved conveyors for almost every application. Our standard drives and controllers have IP66 housing protection and OS2 surface protection (drive only) making them suitable for intensive washdown processes. On request, we configure customer-specific systems for individual requirements.
A variable frequency drive (VFA) can be fitted for the drive, allowing start/stop functions and speed controls. Normally, the VFA is installed in our standard control panel with a housing made entirely of stainless steel and including an emergency stop switch. Alternatively, an Invertek E3 Optidrive controller with a plastic housing and no emergency stop switch is available.

By default, Flex-Turn^® Curved conveyor supplied with height adjustable support feet with mounting holes. As an option, they can also be supplied with lockable castors including brakes.

Material

The system frame construction is made of stainless steel.
The contact surface is made of food grade blue polyethylene.
