Strip belt conveyor SPC

horizontalstraighttubular

Description
The SPC-type accelerator conveyor is a high-performance precision piece of equipment designed for industrial material handling and the preparation of bulk material flows. Strategically positioned upstream of optical sorters, this conveyor uses a high-speed motor to space out, align and distribute products evenly, thereby ensuring maximum capture rates and optimum sorting purity.

Technical Expertise & Sorting Performance
The engineering of the SPC conveyor meets the strict tolerances required by modern detection technologies (NIR cameras, machine vision, inductive sensors):

• Controlled high-speed dynamics: Fitted with a high-speed synchronous or asynchronous gear motor, it ensures a smooth flow of material to prevent excessive thickness (perfect single layer) in front of the sensors
• Trajectory stabilisation: The conveyor’s geometry eliminates object bounce, ensuring uniform presentation and a predictable ballistic trajectory at the belt discharge point
• Industrial tubular frame: A rigid mechanically welded structure designed to absorb the dynamics of high speeds and eliminate parasitic vibrations that could interfere with the detection cameras
• Operational reliability (controlled OPEX): The use of standardised spare parts, combined with high resistance to abrasive materials (glass, metals, WEEE), reduces premature wear and ensures line availability

Available options

• High-performance belt scraper: Prevents fine particles and debris from being returned under the conveyor
• Rotating cleaning brush: Keeps the belt surface clean to prevent false readings from the optical sensors
• Integrated stone ejector: Mechanical safety feature protecting the return drum against the ingress of foreign objects
• Stainless steel structure: Recommended version to prevent corrosion or to cope with harsh environmental conditions.

Applications

• Automated recycling sorting centres (CS)
• High-throughput optical sorting units for household waste (DMA) and industrial waste (DIB)
• Plastic recycling centres (PET, HDPE, PP) and secondary raw material recovery facilities
• Refining sorting stations requiring fine separation of fractions

Engineering data for your quotation request
To ensure seamless integration and calibrate the SPC conveyor’s rated speed, our engineers configure your equipment based on the following criteria:

• Brand, model and effective width of the associated optical sorter
• Nature, particle size and density of the materials being processed
• Target mass or volumetric flow rate (t/h or m³/h)
• Required length based on the layout of your plant
