In order to select the right solution, it is first necessary to analyse the desired application. Each type of conveyor is suitable for a different type of application, goods or environment. We will be happy to help you choose the ideal solution.
The decisive factors we will need to know from you to select the right conveyor are:
- Material, weight, size and characteristics of the load to be conveyed (sharp edges, shape of contact surface, temperature, total load on the conveyor
- the required length and height of the conveyor
- the surrounding environment - temperature, dustiness, pollution
- type of application - gradients, curves, conveyor speed, etc.
- mode of operation - reversing, continuous or cumulative operation
The following factors influence the selection of the right conveyor:
