System information System overview FlexLink's newly developed stainless steel conveyor is designed to fit into demanding primary and secondary packaging applications. It addresses important aspects of today's packing processes, such as being easy to clean, smooth handling of products, safe for operators, robust design, long life, and easy to maintain with a low cost of ownership. The modularized and standardized design ensures fast set up, and facilitates rapid future extensions and changes. Separation of larger surfaces To simplify cleaning and to ensure consistent results, larger surfaces have been separated to improve access between them for cleaning and inspection of results. This separation also improves drainage and speeds up the drying process after cleaning. Also, the bearings are separated 25 mm from the framework with spacers to prevent contamination. System information

Small contact surfaces No flat surfaces for better drainage To make the cleaning process faster and consistent, the small contact surfaces within the frame have been designed in order to eliminate hard-to-reach areas. In wash-down environments, it is important to have proper drainage of water and other liquids. The WLX design has been optimized in this regard by selecting different manufacturing processes to create shapes that enable efficient drainage. This will also have an important impact on its ability to be cleaned in dry environments in both primary and secondary packaging lines. No...

Conveyor sections WL The modular plastic belt conveyor in five widths – 222, 273, 374, 526 and 678 mm – can be built as straight sections 273X or in S, U or L-shape with 30, 45, 60, 90° (180° only for 222 and 273) horizontal bend, or combinations thereof. WL Vertical bends are available in 5° (3° only for 222 and 273) positive or negative. 374X WL 526X Kit for conveyor beam end, always included in: - End drive units - Idler end units - Plain bends - Vertical bends Conveyor sections

Modular Belts - Introduction Outer slide rail Slide rail Belt guide Lower cross bar Modular belt, Radius flush grid, curve-running The belt consists of plastic hinged links connected by plastic rods. The wide belts are woven together by links that are 102 mm, 124 mm, and 180 mm wide. The assembled belt forms a wide, flat, and tight conveyor surface. Five standard widths of belt can be delivered: 152 mm, 203 mm, 304 mm, 456 mm, and 608 mm. Standard belt colour is white but blue belts can also be ordered. Belts with polyamide pins are available for dry or semiwet applications. In constant wet...

Conveyor Beams - Introduction when connecting to an End drive unit is 844 mm. This ensures a sufficient amount of return belt tension directly after the drive sprocket to avoid slack close to the sprocket wheel. The return belt hanging between the first two belt guides provides this belt tension (called back tension). For more information see WLX Engineering guidelines. Connecting brackets have to be ordered separately when joining End drives, idler ends, conveyor beams, etc. When joining two conveyor beams, a beam spacer kit must be ordered separately.

Belt tensioner unit A belt tensioner unit should always be placed near the End drive unit and its use is recommended: - for long conveyors >20 meters - for long conveyors >15 m and a speed of >30 m/min - for conveyors with frequent starts/stops, especially if the load is high - if an End drive unit needs to be placed close to a plain bend - if an End drive unit needs to be placed on the lower part next to a conveyor slope section Direct drive, no slip clutch - for short conveyors where the belt slack length is insufficient to lift the belt for cleaning Drive unit types Drive unit types A...
