Conveyor system for the food and beverage industry Versaflex

partsfor the pharmaceutical industrydistribution

Short description
The fully modular and standardized Versaflex hinge-belt conveyor system with plastic chain is ideal for complex three-dimensional routing. It enables economical layouts with curves, level changes and long conveying runs while requiring minimal floor space.

System overview
Versaflex is a single-track hinged-belt conveyor with a low-wear plastic chain running on wear strips. It can operate with a single drive and offers curve radii from approx. 150 mm. Typical application limits include system lengths up to 30 m and conveying speeds up to 60 m/min. The positive-drive design prevents slippage; the system is also suitable for wet areas.

Modules & functions

• Drives and drive units
• Curves (including 90° radii and tracked/rolling curves)
• Carriers in various designs (rollers, flexible carriers, carriers with magnets)
• Side guides, wear strips and supports
• Functional modules: stoppers (accumulation), buffer elements, singulators, diverters (distribution to multiple lanes)
• Options: ESD variants, coatings/linings (e.g. steel lining, flocked surfaces) for special transport tasks

Applications
Versaflex is suitable for conveying bottles, cans, small cartons and for workpiece carriers in assembly lines (e.g. automotive) and for linking machines in production. The system enables gentle, reproducible handling and precise positioning of carriers.

Advantages

• Cost-effective realization of complex routing
• Fast adaptation to changing production and environmental conditions
• Cross-industry compatibility and integration with common systems
• Available turnkey or as a kit
• Energy- and space-efficient design
• Wide range of widths and chain variants
