Belt Conveyors

Belt Conveyors

Belt conveyors are one of the simplest and most adaptable types of conveyor. They are used in a wide range of industries.

Here at L-A-C Conveyors & Automation, we manufacture hundreds of belt conveyors a year for every industry, handling every product imaginable. We have a large selection of belt types available to choose from subject to the duty of the conveyor system and the product to be handled.

All the belt conveyors we produce are different from the next: we have a comprehensive range of drive and bed types available, subject to the load to be conveyed and the conveyor speed. You can see one of our recent articles on 3 ways belt conveyors can be used today.

Our standard conveyor belt would be a PVC; however, for specialist applications, we have thousands of conveyor belts to choose from. Our experienced sales engineers are able to specify which will be the most suitable for each application and what would best suit your business needs.

Drives available range from simple end driven units to combined underslung drive tension boxes. Drive drums in these ranges vary from 114mm diameter right up to a 305mm lagged unit for the heaviest of applications.

For incline applications, we can utilise high grip belting or we can use flighted belting with flights of width and pitch to suit the product being elevated.

Belt widths are available from 20mm right up to 3000mm. We supply roller base and skid base units subject to what load is to be conveyed and the length of conveyor belt required. Subject to loadings, conveyor belts of up to 80m can be driven from a single drive unit. For heavy applications, we have a standard range of plastic modular belt conveyors – these are sprocket driven so can handle very heavy loads.

Inclined Belt Conveyors For All Food Sectors

Our range of inclined belt conveyors are used extensively within the food industry and can be found handling every type of food product. Our belt elevator conveyors can be designed with either PU or plastic modular belting, along with varying flight heights and pitches, to suit the product being conveyed.

All belt conveyors are custom designed to elevate products between pieces of a process plant. Our growing team of engineers have decades of experience in specifying the correct belt type and designing the structure of the conveyors in a hygienic way to suit the specific sector the inclined conveyor systems are being utilised in.

Belt Elevators Designed To Meet Your Production Needs

Our conveyor belt elevators are custom designed to suit either the high-care or low-care environment that they are being installed in, and are available in either 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel. To complement the belt elevators we have a wide range of hoppers and chutes can be supplied along with the belt conveyors.

Our site engineers are adept at installing larger elevators in between pieces of the process plant, and all are used to working on food production sites. Over the last 20 years, we have designed elevators for handling every type of food product there is, meaning we’re capable of creating the bespoke elevator conveyors your business needs.
