Articulated & Z-belt Conveyors

Articulated and Z-belt conveyors are used when products need to be conveyed upwards and discharged, with the first and/or last section required to be horizontal. These conveyors can handle an incline of up to 60 degrees, depending on the product.

The conveyor belts on these conveyors are often fitted with lifters or scoops to prevent the product from rolling or sliding down. Furthermore, the product must not fall off the side of the conveyor. This can be prevented by using a conveyor with side guides or corrugated belt edges.

Articulated/Z-belt conveyors are often fitted with a feed hopper and a discharge hopper, which we can also supply.

Depending on the industry and application, Innoveya recommends materials and a suitable belt type.
