Less space required, maximum flexibility!

MiniTec has expanded its range of conveyor systems with a highly anticipated product: The new mini conveyor belt. The conveyor is characterised by its small footprint and is used to transport small parts.

The core component is a special 45 aluminium profile (Profile 45 FRS), which can be seamlessly integrated into any MiniTec construction. It acts as a base and carrier profile for a 25 mm wide conveyor belt. The length of the conveyor belt can be between 0.25 m and 2 m.

Either a head drive or a centre drive is used as the drive, ie it can be placed either at the end of the conveyor section or within it. The head drive is equipped with a servo motor, a three-phase AC motor or a servo motor can be used for the central drive. Which motor is the right one depends on the respective situation and the requirements. If the speed is to be variable, servo motors are recommended, because they allow the speed to be changed steplessly. With the three-phase motor, on the other hand, the speed is fixed and is either 3.4, 4.3 or 6.6 m/min, depending on the type. However, the speed can also be set variably here using a frequency converter (accessory).

Diverse areas of application

The range of applications for the new mini conveyor belt is huge. Wherever small parts need to be transported, the solution can be quickly and easily integrated – of course, by the customer themselves due to the simple structure. And because the 45 FRS profile serves as the basis, mini conveyor belts can also be used for the Zu – or removal of materials can be used in combination with MiniTec’s FRS Kanban system.
