DESCRIPTION

The Moducon Belt Conveyor is a lightweight, mobile convey­or that can be rolled into place and used to move parts or
materials to or from your process.

Because of its modular construction, the conveyor can be built
in virtually any shape, length and width to fit your
application.

Standard belt design is durable modular link polypropylene.
The patented design compensates for belt stretch that causes
slack, a common problem in other conveyor designs.
Permanent belt tracking ensures no wear on belt edges. The
belt system is easy to modify or repair by simply replacing
individual links or flights in the belt.

The Conair Belt Conveyor Moducon series is simple to oper­ate. Just move it into position, adjust the height and plug it in.
The variable speed control lets you set the belt speed to the
desired rate. The optional flights move parts along the inclined
belt.

Moducon Belt Conveyors are ideal for:

● Conveying parts removed from a mold by a robot or

sprue picker.

● Carrying scrap or sprues to a granulator for recovery

● Conveying parts from the processing machine to an

assembly area.

As the application changes, the conveying length can be easily
modified by adding or subtracting side panels, belt links and
belt flights.
