Low Back Pressure Belts Solution
Historically, shrink wrapped cases of PET bottles with a petaloid base have required a cardboard tray to improve their conveyability. The cardboard tray provided increased stability needed for the unique bottle shape. Many beverage producers are removing the cardboard in an effort to reduce packaging waste. This has created conveying challenges to properly support the product, convey without damaging the packaging, and allow for proper accumulation.
System Plast® Solution
We offer a unique ½” pitch LBP 2120 series of belts that provides more product support than other competitor models. The low back pressure (LBP) version also allows for product accumulation while continuing forward conveyance. The belt’s ½” pitch allows for small bead diameters and pitch between rollers, creating a smoother conveying surface. A ¾” diameter nose bar return can also be used which greatly reduces the head to tail transfer distance. This improves product stability and lessens the opportunity for packaging damage.
