Innovative roller-top belt makes packages appear to float on air
Multidirectional roller-top belt is one of three Interpack conveyor demonstrations highlighting sustainable operations and noise reduction.
Emerson's (emerson.com) innovative System Plast® multi-directional, roller-top conveyor belt makes packages dance to the user's tune with the ability to align them to any angle, divert them, sort to multiple lanes, rotate, combine, or gap them – all non-contact. The innovative plastic belt is highlighted in one of Emerson's three System Plast conveyor demonstrations at Interpack, which will include exhibits of packaging industry bearing solutions from Sealmaster, McGill, Rollway and System Plast as well.
System Plast 2253RT roller-top belt simplifies conveyor system design and installation with its independently controlled moving surface that provides multi-function product handling in a small footprint. The roller-top surface easily handles large or small, flat-bottom products, moving them on 12.5 mm balls spaced on 25.4 mm (1") centers. It supports loads up to 9,000 Nm/m (617 lb/ft) or 0.5 kg/ball (1.1 lb/ball). The belt's non-contact product manipulation eliminates impact and abrasion damage from pushers, as well as the need for mechanical adjustment or changeovers for conventional diverters or guides.
