Parallel round belts for parts that can’t sit flat
Round Belt Conveyors
For parts a flat belt can’t carry: two round belts support the part at chosen points, leaving room for anything that sticks out below and open access around it.
Round Belt Conveyors handle parts that can’t sit on a flat belt, including parts with a feature extending below the conveying surface. Acetal or UHMW guides can steer both the part and the belts along the conveyor.
Design it in CAD and export STEP files, or let our engineers design it.

Features
Engineered for the job it does every day.
Primary feature
Support for irregular parts
Two parallel belts support small or unstable products and parts that need clearance beneath the conveying surface. We match the belt and guide layout to where the part can be supported and what projects from it.
In practiceParts with odd shapes or features hanging below are carried at the points they can take, with clearance where they need it.
Open access for inspection, printing and drying
Because the belts touch the part in only a few places, there is access around it for vision inspection, printing on exposed surfaces, and drying.
In practiceMost of the part’s surface stays reachable while it travels.
Self-tracking urethane belts
The solid urethane round belts track themselves in both directions, and urethane resists chemicals and abrasion. Material suitability depends on the product, cleaning agents and conditions.
In practiceThe belts stay on their pulleys whichever way the conveyor runs.

Support and transfers
Configured with
One conveyor, one complete system.
We design the drive, guides and stand with the conveyor, from the same modular system, so the parts are designed to work together.
