Conveyor Belt – 90 Degree Turn

• Transporting products around corners in packaging lines.
• Changing direction of flow in assembly operations.
• Integrating with existing straight conveyor sections to optimise floor space.
• Moving items between different processing stages in food production.
• Handling goods in warehousing and distribution centres.

Typical belt width

Commonly ranges from 200mm to 600mm for this class of equipment.

Typical turn radius

Outer corner dimensions typically vary from 1500mm to 2500mm depending on belt width and product size.

Belt material

Often features slatted plastic, modular plastic, or fabric belts suitable for various product types.

Operating speed

Typically variable, with units often capable of speeds up to 30 metres per minute, especially with an inverter drive.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with smaller units potentially using 230V, 1-phase.

Frame material

Often constructed from mild steel (painted) or stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications.

Height adjustment

Many units offer adjustable leg heights to integrate with existing lines.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  A 90-degree turn conveyor with a slatted plastic belt is generally suitable for a wide range of packaged goods, boxes, and some unpackaged items, depending on their stability and size relative to the slats.

• Can the direction of travel be reversed?

• What are the typical maintenance requirements?

• Is an inverter drive necessary?

• How is this unit integrated into an existing conveyor system?

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.
