Movements
Dynamic Rotation
By using two directional belts underneath the 553
Flextop belt, running at opposite direction, the good
will start rotating.
This option is ideal for high speed lines, while the
goods needs to be rotated to correct sides without
slowing down the production line. Based on the
combination of speeds between the 3 belts, the good
will rotate in a dierent distance. It is suggested to
keep the directional belts speed always the same.
Accumulation
For a limited time, in case of needs or special application
(e.g. rejected table), the 553 FlexTop belt can work as
accumulation.
In that case spheres must be free to run, so the belt
has to be supported by wear-strips positioned between
spheres (see page 29).
Maximum wear-strip width 8mm.
Acceleration/Deceleration
By using a static plate or a directional belt underneath
the 553 FlexTop belt, the good can accelerate or
decelerate.
Static plate
By using a static plate, the
good speed will result
double than the 553
FlexTop belt speed.
Directional belt
By using a directional belt,
the good speed can be
accelerated or decelerated
independently from the 553
FlexTop belt speed.

To get a dynamic rotation to the right, the two directional belts must
run like the picture.
To get a dynamic rotation to the left, the two directional belts must run
like the picture.
