Engineered for normal to medium heavy duty service at speeds up to 400 fpm, the Flatop curve represents a design breakthrough that makes cost no longer a major factor in the choice of belt versus roller curve. Simplified fabrication techniques, with the use of lagged end pulleys to drive the belt, have resulted in a long life, low-maintenance curve available at approximately half the price of competitive units and comparable to costs in roller curves.

When the choice is between a roller curve and a belt curve, a belt will deliver in-use savings day after day. These savings are particularly significant where small product conveying and/or positive orientation is critical, or where down-time due to jamming can be extremely costly - in applications such as baggage handling, printing, food processing and many others.

Budget and Performance Value

• No chain cover! More conveying surface between frames. The elimination of protruding chain/roller covers at the outside radius adds 3 to 4 inches more usable belt width than is available in competitive units.
• Unique patented design permits conveying products Wider than the Belt. Now there is no need to worry about the occasional oversized product. It is easily accommodated. If the center of gravity stays on the belt, Flatop will carry it around! (there may be some restrictions on larger belt widths. See note on Dimensional chart)
• Smooth continuous flow around corners
• Positive product orientation
• Ball bearing guide system
• Heavy duty construction
• Low maintenance
• Economical. Competitive cost + superior performance + maximum versatility = the ultimate economy.
• Systems design made easier. Laying out your conveyor line is far easier when there's no concern about situating the curve to prevent the product from hitting the cover. Flatop has no chain cover!
