/images/stories/virtuemart/product/DG00083.jpg - Driven Curve

• Used for changing the direction of product flow in a conveyor line, often within packing or assembly operations.
• Commonly integrated into automated production lines to maintain product orientation around obstacles or corners.
• Applied in warehousing and distribution centres for efficient routing of packages and goods.
• Utilised in food processing for gentle handling of products requiring a change in conveying direction.

Typical curve angle

Commonly 45, 90, or 180 degrees, depending on the layout requirements.

Belt width

Typically ranges from 100mm to 1000mm, selected to match the product size and existing conveyor lines.

Drive type

Units of this type are typically motor-driven, often with variable speed control for integration into production lines.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Frame material

Typically constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for hygiene-critical environments.

Belt material

Often PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, chosen based on product characteristics and application demands.

• What is a 'Driven Curve' conveyor?

  A driven curve conveyor is a type of conveyor system designed to change the direction of product flow using a powered belt or chain, ensuring consistent product orientation and smooth transitions.

• Why choose a driven curve over a gravity curve?

• What maintenance is typically required for a driven curve?

• Can this unit be integrated with existing conveyor systems?

• What types of products are suitable for a driven curve?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
