PA - Driven Curve

Applications & Use Cases

• Changing the direction of product flow in a conveyor line.
• Integrating with other conveyor types to create complex material handling routes.
• Optimising floor space utilisation in warehouses and production facilities.
• Handling items that require consistent orientation through a directional change.

Typical Specifications

Typical curve angles

Commonly available in 30, 45, 60, and 90-degree configurations. This specific unit offers 30, 60, or 90 degrees.

Roller type

Features conical rollers, which are typical for maintaining product orientation and stability through a curve.

Drive mechanism

Driven by motors, often with multiple drives for high loading capacity and consistent speed, as described for this unit.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial electrical supply, such as 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for the UK market.

Frame material

Often constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for food-grade or corrosive environments.

Load capacity

Designed for varying loads; units with multiple drives, like this one, are suited for higher throughput and heavier items.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the benefits of conical rollers on a driven curve?

  Conical rollers are designed to ensure that items maintain their orientation and do not skew or jam as they navigate the curve, providing smooth product flow.

• Why would a driven curve have two drives?

• Can this type of curve be integrated with existing conveyor systems?

• What maintenance is typically required for a driven curve conveyor?

• What factors should I consider when specifying the curve angle?
