Unique “Open Side,” Low Profile Conveyor Allows 2-Minute Belt Change



Tuesday, August 24, 2004

Conveyor Technologies introduces a unique “open side,” low profile conveyor allows users to change belts in two minutes of less on small- to medium-size models. On large conveyors, the quick-change design allows 95% or better time savings. The innovative design can save 45 minutes to two hours in downtime on belt changes compared to a conventional stand mounting, along with avoiding thousands of dollars in lost production on an unplanned change.

The quick-change configuration, utilizing the high strength and exceptional rigidity of Conveyor Technologies’ steel conveyor frame and mount, allows cantilever-style mounting to just one side of the stand, eliminating obstructions to slide-off/slide-on belt removal and installation. Unlike conventional units, the conveyor does not have to be disassembled from the stand for the belt change. The tail pulley mounting permits rapid de-tensioning to free the belt for removal. The system’s side rails with brackets remove in seconds with Conveyor Technologies’ quick set knobs.

The cantilever stand is designed to support full conveyor capacity on widths of 12” or less. For larger conveyors and loads, the company offers supplemental swing-away supports for the short side, connecting frame to leg. Simply loosening two bolts allows the support to swing down, giving open access to the belt.
