Ladder-Flex Conveyors

Product Description

The ability to spread/separate or converge products while they travel on a process belt conveyor is critical for various culinary, confectionery, and industrial applications. This often enables processors to operate thinner conveyors, reducing plant floor area. Coating procedures help to separate products and reduce rejection rates.

Overview

We provide Wire Belt customized Ladder-Flex™ conveyors that may perform spreading, converging, or diverging operations. The ability to spread, separate, or converge products along a process belt conveyor is critical for various food, confectionery, and industrial applications. This often enables processors to operate thinner conveyors, reducing plant floor area.

We offer a non-slip spreader or converger that uses Ladder-Flex™ stainless steel belting. The conveyor consists of rows of belts running on a food-grade high-density blue polyethylene support surface and a series of small stainless steel sprockets that drive within the mesh of the belt strands. Conveyors can be specifically made to fit the goods being handled.

This conveying system was designed and manufactured to be readily cleaned and sanitized. Hygiene and food safety are always top priorities when selecting equipment for a food processing facility.
