Divert – lateral movement
By using a directional belt underneath the 553 FlexTop
belt, running square to the travel direction, the goods
can be transferred left and right.
The combination of the speed of modular belt and
directional belt will determine the direction of the exit.
Static Rotation
By using a rotating plate underneath the 553 Flextop
belt, the goods will start rotating.
Such a movement can be done by having a Rotating
Plate turning at the opposite direction than what has
to be the good direction. For a high-precision rotation,
it is suggested to active the Rotating Plate when the
modular belt is stopped.
Controlled rotation
To get a controlled roation, the rotating plate must be activated when 553
FlexTop is not running.
Uncontrolled rotation
If the rotating plate get activated while the modular belt is running, the
good will rotate in more space.
Be sure the product is running over the plate till its rotation is completed.
Straight exit
To get a completely straight exit, the
directional belt must be activated when 553
FlexTop is not running.
Curved exit
To get a straight exit without loosing relatively
too much time, the directional belt can be
activated also when the 553 FlexTop is
running, while is reducing speed.
The combination of the two speeds will
determine the exit curve dimension.
Inclined exit
To get a 45° inclined direction, the speed of
the directional belt must be the same as
the speed of the 553 FlexTop and they have to
work contemporary.
