Modular plastic belt conveyor WL

Product catalog summary
System Information
The WL conveyor system is designed for transporting and accumulating lightweight goods, featuring a wide belt up to 600 mm. It supports various configurations using T-slot fasteners for flexibility. Suitable for secondary packaging, pouches, shrink-wrapped products, cardboard boxes, and plastic containers, it has a maximum speed of 40 m/min, a maximum conveyor length of 15 m, and a total load capacity of up to 250 kg.
Conveyor Sections
The modular plastic belt conveyor is available in widths of 322, 424, and 626 mm. Configurations include straight sections or S, U, or L shapes with horizontal bends of 30, 45, 60, or 90 degrees. Vertical bends are available in 5 and 15 degrees, but combining horizontal and vertical curves is not recommended.
Belts
The belts are made of plastic hinge-type links connected by plastic rods, available in widths of 304, 406, and 608 mm. They are lubrication-free and require a running-in period. Belt types include plain and friction top belts, with specific tension limits and temperature ranges. The friction top belt is suitable for slopes up to 20 degrees.
Conveyor Frame Components
Frame profiles and cross bars form the conveyor frame, with plastic slide rails ensuring low friction. The frame can be customized in lengths from 0.5 to 3 meters. Support profiles prevent sagging, especially for heavy loads. Minimum conveyor lengths vary based on the shape and width of the section.
Drive Units
The WL system includes direct drive units with or without slip clutches. Motors are available in variable and fixed speeds, compatible with different voltage specifications. Drive units are configured online, and dimensions depend on the motor specified.
Idler End Units
Idler end units guide the chain with minimal friction using idler wheels. The number of wheels varies with conveyor width, and connecting strips are included.
Bends
Plain bends are available in angles of 30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees, with specific track lengths for each radius. Vertical bends are available in 5-degree increments.
Vertical Bends Specifications
1. 5° Vertical Bend: Models include WL626, WLBV 5A322, WLBV 5A424, and WLBV 5A626. The effective track length is 0.50 m for both top and bottom sections.
2. 15° Vertical Bend: Models include WL322, WL424, WL626, WLBV 15A322, WLBV 15A424, and WLBV 15A626. The effective track length is 0.75 m for both top and bottom sections.
Support Designs
Recommended supports for conveyors are constructed using components from the FlexLink structural system XC. Specific support designs are required for System WL626 due to its width. Detailed support components and their dimensions are provided for different models (WL322, WL424, WL626).
Support Components
1. Type 1 and Type 2 Supports: Include beam support brackets, leg supports, feet, end caps, angle brackets, cross beams, and end plates. A drill fixture (Item no. 8050040) is recommended for Type 1 supports.
2. Additional Support for WL626: Due to the conveyor's width, extra support is necessary. Components include cleats, support profiles, support brackets, cross beams, and various fastening materials.
Key Measurements
For Type 1 and Type 2 supports, dimensions such as width (W1, W2) and length (L1, L2) are specified for each model. The document provides detailed measurements and recommended components for effective support.

Modular plastic belt conveyor WL-1

Modular plastic belt conveyor WL System information Wide conveyor for transport and accumulation Typical applications The WL conveyor system offers many of the benefits of the original FlexLink conveyor system. The added advantage of a wide belt (up to 600 mm) permits effective transport and accumulation in several different configurations. Many accessory components of the original FlexLink system will fit, including guide rail components and supports. Most components are attached by means of T-slot fasteners, ensuring maximum flexibility. Nothing is welded. Only a minimum of cutting and drilling will be required to install a conveyor and have it running. The WL conveyor system is designed for transport and accumulation of lightweight goods such as: Secondary packaging of food and hygiene products Shrink wrapped products Card board boxes Plastic containers Technical specifications 40 m/min 15 m up to 30 kg up to 250 kg 1,5 kg/slide rail
