Modular Belt & Slat Chain Conveyor Systems for Reliable Industrial Product Movement
Excel Conveyors manufactures modular belt and slat chain conveyor systems designed for controlled product transfer, operational flexibility, and reliable industrial material handling across packaging, food processing, manufacturing, warehousing, and industrial applications.
Conveyor Systems Designed for Flexible Industrial Movement
Modular belt conveyors are designed using interlocked molded belt sections that operate through sprocket-driven movement instead of conventional roller-driven flat belts.
Excel Conveyors manufactures modular belt and slat chain conveyor systems engineered for:
- smooth product transfer
- curved conveyor routing
- inclined movement
- food-grade handling
- industrial material flow
- operational flexibility
across diverse industrial applications.
What are Modular Belt Conveyors?
Modular belts are constructed using a series of molded plastic components interlocked together to form a conveyor belt structure.
Unlike traditional flat belt conveyors, modular belts operate through sprocket-driven movement, which helps eliminate belt tracking issues commonly associated with conventional belts.
Modular conveyor systems are commonly used where applications require:
- curved conveyor layouts
- inclined movement
- washdown environments
- food-grade handling
- operational flexibility
- modular conveyor replacement
Different modular belt materials and configurations are available depending on industrial applications and product handling requirements.
How Modular Belt Conveyor Systems Work
Modular conveyor belts consist of interconnected hinged sections driven through sprockets mounted on rotating shafts.
The sprockets engage directly with the modular belt structure, enabling positive belt drive movement and reducing the need for belt tracking adjustments.
Proper modular conveyor design considers:
- sprocket positioning
- support roller placement
- conveyor curves
- catenary sag
- minimum bend radius
- operational load conditions
to ensure stable and efficient conveyor performance.
