Travtec Twin grip side belt

• Used for stabilising products during bottom coding, labelling, or inspection.
• Commonly integrated into existing production lines to create a gap or elevation change.
• Suitable for handling unstable containers such as bottles, jars, or cartons.
• Applied in food processing for gentle product transfer and orientation.

Typical throughput

Variable speed drives commonly allow for throughputs ranging from 10 to 60 metres per minute, depending on product size and line integration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase (230V, 50Hz) or three-phase (400V, 50Hz) electrical supply, with this specific unit being single-phase.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

Adjustable width range

For this class of equipment, adjustable width between belts commonly ranges from approximately 20mm to 200mm to accommodate various product sizes.

Belt length

Belt lengths typically vary, with units commonly featuring lengths from 500mm to 1500mm, depending on the application requirement.

Footprint

The footprint is typically compact, designed for inline integration, with lengths varying based on belt length and widths around 500mm to 800mm including frame.

• What types of products can a side grip belt conveyor handle?

  Side grip belt conveyors are designed to handle a wide range of products, particularly those that are unstable or require elevation, inversion, or stabilisation for processing, such as bottles, jars, and cartons.

• Is this unit suitable for a washdown environment?

• How difficult is it to integrate this conveyor into an existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a side grip belt conveyor?

• Can the speed of the belts be controlled?

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.
