CR300 O-belt Driven Curved Roller Conveyor
It is a powered conveyor section designed to navigate a curve, typically 30°, 45°, 90°, or 180°. The "Medium Duty" classification means it is built to handle a specific range of loads, generally between 50 kg to 450 kg (110 lbs to 1000 lbs) per meter, making it suitable for a vast array of common industrial goods.
The "O-Belt Driven" mechanism refers to how power is transferred. A single, continuous motor drives a main shaft, and individual, elastic O-ring belts (similar to large rubber bands) are snapped onto grooves on the driven rollers. This creates a positive drive system that turns the rollers, propelling items forward.
This conveyor is used whenever a powered, controlled flow of items needs to change direction. Common applications include:
Sortation Systems: Crucial in distribution centers, postal facilities, and airports where packages must be routed around corners to different sortation lanes or spurs.
Merging and Diverting Lines: Used to guide products into a single file line (merge) or to curve away from a main line towards a packing station, palletizer, or inspection area.
Assembly & Production Lines: In manufacturing, it allows the production line to follow the layout of the factory floor, navigating around obstacles or connecting two straight conveyor sections that are not in a straight line.
Process Transitions: Used to reorient products between processes, such as feeding items from a filling machine to a labeling machine that is positioned at a 90-degree angle.
Package Handling: Ideal for transporting stable, flat-bottomed items like cartons, totes, cases, and palletized loads around bends without manual intervention.
The features of this conveyor are a direct result of its curved design and O-belt drive mechanism.
Smooth Direction Change: The primary feature. It allows for a seamless, continuous flow of materials around a corner, eliminating the need for manual pushing, transfer turntables, or complex robotic arms for simple direction changes.
Positive Power Control ("Live Roller"): Unlike gravity conveyors, the powered rollers provide consistent, controlled movement. This allows for zero-pressure accumulation (rollers can slip under the belt when a product is stopped, preventing back-pressure and product damage) and prevents items from stalling on the curve.
Space Efficiency: Enables optimal use of factory or warehouse floor space by allowing conveyor lines to be designed around the building's layout, not just in straight lines.
Gentle on Products: The curved path and the cushioned grip of the O-belts provide a smoother transition than a sharp, forced turn. This is especially important for avoiding toppling or scuffing of products.
Medium Duty Capacity: This is its "sweet spot." It is robust enough for most industrial applications (boxes, drums, pallets) without the over-engineering and high cost of a heavy-duty system.
Relatively Simple Design: While more complex than a gravity conveyor, the O-belt drive is simpler and more cost-effective than chain-driven or line shaft systems for medium-duty applications. Maintenance is straightforward, often involving just replacing a worn O-ring belt.
Requires a Power Source: It must be connected to electricity, increasing operational costs and installation complexity compared to non-powered options.
Maintenance on Drive Components: While simple, the motor, bearings, and O-belts require periodic inspection and maintenance. O-belts can stretch, wear out, or break over time.
Fixed Radius: The curve has a set radius. It's crucial to select a radius that is appropriate for the size and length of your products to prevent jamming or instability.
Not for All Load Types: Best suited for items with a rigid, stable base. Loose bags, very small items, or products with an irregular bottom may not convey properly and could get stuck.
Higher Initial Cost: Significantly more expensive than a non-driven curved roller conveyor due to the motor, drive components, and control system.
In summary, the Medium Duty O-Belt Driven Curved Roller Conveyor is the essential link that brings flexibility and automation to a material handling system. It is the go-to solution for reliably and efficiently guiding a wide range of medium-weight products around corners, forming the backbone of modern, streamlined distribution and production facilities.
