The exact number of pieces, the choice between 2-part and 3-part belt stations, the belt width, the roll diameter, the roll length, the trough, the profile of the threshold, the lintel, the type of fastening and the material of the belt station are crucial steps in order to to ensure exact fit and functionality. This results in a conveyor system that not only operates reliably and efficiently, but also minimizes costs and reduces environmental impact.

Specifying the required ones number of pieces is the starting point for planning your conveyor system. It not only influences the overall costs, but is also crucial for capacity and material flow. Larger quantities require careful coordination and planning to ensure the efficiency and smooth operation of your conveyor system.

The choice between 2-part or 3-part belt stations depends on your specific application. 2-piece belt stations are easier to install and work well for straight conveyor lines. 3-part belt stations are more flexible and allow for more precise adjustment to curved or uneven conveyor paths. The decision not only affects the design, but also the maintenance and future operation of your system.

The Belt width determines the maximum amount of material your belt station can transport. A larger belt width increases conveying capacity, while a smaller width may be suitable for specialized applications. Accurately determining belt width is critical to ensuring your conveyor system meets the needs of your industry and production processes.

The Roll diameter influences the load capacity and friction of the belt station. Larger roller diameters are typically more robust and can support higher loads, but may not be suitable for space-constrained applications. Choosing the correct roll diameter is critical to ensuring the performance and reliability of your belt station.

The roll length has a direct influence on the stability and material flow of your belt station. Longer rollers enable more even material distribution and can compensate for irregularities in the material being conveyed. Shorter rolls may be more suitable for space-limited applications. Choosing the right roll length is crucial to ensure smooth material transport.

The trough, or even that Profile of the conveyor belt, is crucial to the way the material is moved on the belt station. The standard value of 30 degrees is often ideal for transporting material efficiently. However, if there are special requirements, the trough can be adjusted, for example to 20 degrees for particularly fine material or to 45 degrees for steeper conveyor routes.

The Profile of the threshold influences the stability and material flow of the belt station. Different profiles are suitable for different materials and requirements. A cold-rolled U-section is suitable for light bulk materials, while a hot-rolled U-section is more suitable for heavy loads. Choosing the right profile is important for optimal material transport.

The Position of the belt station, the so-called Fall, influences the material flow and the efficiency of the conveyor system. A negative camber, where the conveyor station is tilted slightly downward, promotes material flow, while a positive camber restrains the material. The exact setting of the fall depends on your specific requirements and the type of material being conveyed.

The Type of mounting determines how the tape station is anchored in your system. This can be done by bolting, welding or other methods. The correct mounting type is crucial to ensure the stability and security of your belt station, especially in applications with high levels of vibration or stress.

The chosen Material for your tape station affects durability and environmental impact. Stainless steel, for example, is corrosion-resistant and ideal for demanding environments. The surface finish can also be adjusted to optimize friction and material flow.

Detailing the above points is crucial to ensure your Tape station optimally tailored to your specific requirements is. Each of these aspects affects the performance, reliability and efficiency of your conveyor system in different ways. Careful consideration and understanding of these factors allows us to develop the best possible solution for your application.

Our experts are available to help you select and configure your belt station and ensure that your conveyor system is perfectly tailored to your needs. Your satisfaction and the smooth operation of your system are our top priority.
