There¹s no doubt that catenary sag is a real drag when it comes to conveyor belts. But that¹s not an issue with Dorner¹s newest flexible chain conveyor platform, the 2200 SeriesSmartFlex. To help prevent catenary sag, the 2200 Series SmartFlex comes with a weighted take-up module to help prevent the plastic chain belt from sagging underneath the conveyor during operation. Having sag in the conveyor belt is a safety issue as it creates potential pinch points in the system. The weighted take-up module is designed with an adjustable slot which compensates when the conveyor is operating to remove sag in the belt. By removing sag, the belt can interface with the frame more easily, allowing for smoother belt tracking while reducing the risk of jamming or other faults. The module can also be positioned in various locations along the conveyor. Designed for the packaging, food, medical, industrial and assembly industries, the 2200 Series SmartFlex can be engineered to exact customer specifications in minutes and available in about five days.
One of the many strengths of the 2200 Series SmartFlex is product transfers. The 2200Series SmartFlex is engineered to easily integrate with Dorner¹s other 2200 and 3200 Series low profile conveyor platforms an advantage that gives customers the ability to select Dorner for all its mainline and support conveyor systems. Specifications, features and benefits of the 2200 Series SmartFlexinclude:
- Ideal for the food, medical, assembly, industrial, automation and packaging industries
- Aluminum single-piece frame
- Navigates very tight corners with wheel and plain bend options
- Multiple product transfer options for end and side transfers
