Focus on flexibility
Vertical guide roller How it functions Loading Discharge R The SICON® conveyor belt is made of a highly flexible rubber capable of forming a pear-shaped “pouch”. Supporting profiles are vulcanized onto R Two steel cords vulcanized into the belt both edges. Their job is to track the belt with common axis for extremely short radii between the support and guide pulleys. Steel cords are vulcanized into the center of the carrying profiles. The cords absorb the belt tension from the drive components. As the profiles R Two profiles led by the guide and support rollers are arranged above one another, the belt is closed to form a dusttight pouch. Another advantage of this profile arrange- ment is that it enables the belt to incline to the side so that the cornering radius Drive R Pouch-shaped part of belt for carrying material conveyed works out to less than a meter.
