Flat Belt Conveyors

Flat Belt Conveyors




A flat belt conveyors runs on a flat fabricated steel deck or over rollers. They are used where smooth and quiet transport of product is desirable, and is ideally suited to irregular shaped product that cannot easily be handled on other conveyor styles.

Examples of applications other than cartons or tote bins would be the movement of floppy sacks or satchels, bags of powder and flour, or raw food products. It is an excellent conveyor for handling items that may have loose strings or tapes.

They are also ideally suited to:

Metering – precise positioning.
Scanning – in conjunction with code readers.
Tracking – where precise positional control is required for sorting.
Induction – precise feeding into other conveyors at junctions.


It is normally used for light- and medium-weight loads between operations or buildings

It provides significant control over the orientation and placement of the load due to the friction between the belt and the load.

Friction also helped to prevent smooth accumulation, merging, and sorting on the belt

The belt is roller or slider bed supported; the slider bed is used for small and irregularly shaped items
