Our modular belt conveyors are extremely robust, making them suitable for most transport applications. Their hard-wearing modular belting—available in a range of material options—can even handle sharp-edged products without compromising performance. The easy-to-clean open design construction makes modular conveyors the ideal choice for direct food-contact environments, washdown areas, and facilities where chemicals are often used.

Thanks to their positive-drive mechanism, modular belt conveyors deliver increased reliability and consistent performance, even in demanding conditions. We also manufacture conveyors using traditional flat-belt materials for applications where they are more suitable.

What is a Modular Belt Conveyor?

A modular belt conveyor is a type of material handling equipment that uses interlocking plastic modules—rather than a traditional continuous belt—to transport products from one point to another. These plastic modules form a durable, versatile, and easy-to-maintain conveying surface, making modular conveyors ideal for a wide range of applications. They are commonly used in food processing, manufacturing, packaging, engineering, and environments where hygiene, robustness, or reliability is essential.

Modular belt conveyors are extremely robust and well-suited for most transport applications. Their hard-wearing modular belting, available in multiple material options, can withstand sharp-edged products without compromising performance. The open, easy-to-clean design makes them particularly effective in direct food-contact areas, washdown environments, and facilities where chemicals are used.

Thanks to their positive-drive mechanism, modular belt conveyors offer exceptional reliability, reduced belt slippage, and consistent performance—even in demanding or wet conditions. For applications where a modular belt may not be the best fit, we also manufacture conveyor systems using traditional flat-belt materials.

Application Example - Packing Conveyor

In this example, you can see the conveyor is used for transporting packaged food (cucumbers) so they can be packed into crates.

This conveyor system includes a belt conveyor to transport items through the hole in the wall and a twin-lane modular belt conveyor with side guides.

Modular belt conveyors can be used for both packaged and unpackaged food products as they are suitable for washdown and use in wet environments.

Application Example - Box Turning Conveyor

In this example, you can see the conveyor is used for turning boxes to the correct orientation ready for labelling.

This conveyor system features two modular conveyors with side guides set at right angles, an enclosed box pusher, and a turning wheel to gently turn the boxes prior to them reaching the outfeed.

These types of conveyors can save hundreds of hours of labour, increase overall efficiency in packing lines, and help improve the uniformity of labelling.
