The sideflexing belts range exists of 1⁄2-inch pitch 505, 11⁄4-inch pitch 1200 and 11⁄4-inch pitch 7956 belts, offering a solution for almost any curved application. As a standard the belts are supplied in low friction acetal for beverage and in acetal or polypropylene with antibacterial protection, especially for direct food contact.
FEATURES
• In compliance with the industry standards, three curve
guiding systems are offered RBP uses beveled Positrack lugs underneath the belt to guide the belt in the curve. The lugs run
against a beveled strip, retaining the belt in the curve. This system enables easy removal of the belt from the conveyor for cleaning or maintenance. The conveyed product can be wider than the belt width as there is no wearstrip on top of the belt to hold it down.
RBT guiding uses Tabs underneath the belt to hold the belt down while running through the curve.
Often the tabs can also be used to hang the belt in the return part of the conveyor. Depending on the construction modular belts with tabs are more difficult to remove from the conveyor for cleaning and maintenance.
RB Flat belt without Tabs or Positrack® is suitable for the conventional
guiding method, supporting the belt on its inner radius. The belt is held down in the curve by a wearstrip on top of the belt or by running through a U-channel.
This method can also be applied in the return part. In this way it is difficult to remove the belt
from the conveyor. The RB executions are also suitable for low-tension spiral applications.
• Belt and curve guiding materials have a PV Pressure e
Velocity-limit determining the maximum speed or load in a specific application.
Rexnords calculation software and engineering manuals will advise concerning the feasibility
of a specific application. For spiral applications it is recommended to discuss with a qualified OEM retrofit or design
details, to avoid overload issues or failures.
