Introduction to Modular Belting Modular means adaptable Benefits of modular belting Siegling Prolink offer a wide product range with many different module designs. Modules within individual product series can easily be combined. Modular belts are robust and durable and can handle conveying and processing tasks which may not be possible with conventional conveyor belting materials and types. Because of this, Siegling Prolink modular belts can be customized to suit individual conveying and processing tasks. We will help you identify the optimal solution for your specific needs. Siegling Prolink...

Siegling Prolink Wide range of modules available By working closely with end users and equipment manufacturers, our R&D department ensures that all module types in the Siegling Prolink product line can be relied upon for exceptional performance. Our belt series include more than 60 different types of modules that can handle most conveying and processing tasks, ranging from light to heavy duty. Individual modules are easily assembled as endless belts by connecting them with hinge pins. This means that modular belts: – can be made to any length and width – are easy to repair – require less expenditure...

HACCP requirements Apart from the individual module and sprocket designs, selecting the optimal material is a way to customize a belt to suit a specific conveying or processing task. New regulatory requirements are forcing food manufacturers to adopt increasingly stringent hygiene standards and sanitation procedures. Conventional conveyor and processing belts often cannot comply with these requirements, but Siegling Prolink modular belts are designed to effectively support your HACCP concepts. All materials are tried and tested in the most varied of industrial environments. The specific properties...
