System Benefits:

  • Curved on both sides: flexible layout design with just one belt type.
  • Fine-meshed transport surface: reliable, smooth-running transport, even of delicate products.
  • Small deflection radius: this reduces the conveyor trench, which means that additional components for bridging are rarely required.
  • Long sections: conveyors up to 30 m long
