Introduction Modular conveyors belts 2. Modular Conveyor Belts PCS belts are manufactured from elementary plastic parts (modules) by injection, using the most modern means in this technology and at all times controlling the parameters of these processes. The belting surfaces needed in each case are created through connection by means of articulation rods. This is where the most commonly used and known name of modular belts comes from. The desired widths are achieved by adding precise modules, and always with their "wall-type" arrangement, combining whole modules together with half-modules...

Belts characteristics Modular conveyors belts In chart 7.1, there is a detailed display of the different and most appropriate uses of the different options available in modular conveyor belts. 2.2. Standard materials available for Modular Conveyor Belts PLASTIC CONVEYOR SYSTEM® uses the following thermoplastic materials to manufacture its modules: • Polypropylene (FDA) • Polyethylene (FDA) • Acetal (FDA) • Polyamide (FDA) Other materials used for special applications and uses that require specific characteristics, are: • Ryton (FDA) • Noryl (FDA) • Special polypropylenes • Antistatic...

Belts characteristics Modular conveyors belts Magnetically detectable materials All PCS products can be manufactured upon request, with additives that make them detectable by a control security. Thus obtained, high safety levels in the detection of unwanted particles of modular belts used, and could cause injury or discomfort. In all cases, development must take into account the characteristics of control equipment installed. + sprocket wheel combination, while at the same time allowing for axially-orientated movement within limits, thus combining traction and alignment of the belt....

Belts characteristics Modular conveyors belts • PCS-12 AL / PCS-12 AL NEO / PCS-25 AL / PCS-50 AL / PCS-40 AL / FLAT TOP CURVE CLOSED 2) The series not used with food, in other words, not in direct contact with food products, are also manufactured with materials for use with food, are: • • • • • PCS-15 AL ROLLER BELT PCS-25 AL BALL BELT PCS-50 AL ROLLER / ACCUMULATION PCS-51 AL OPENED / AL TRANSFERENCE FLAT TOP CURVE 3) The Special Applications are developed to satisfy clients' specific needs and uses, whether this be from exclusive designs or derived from the basic parts of the different...

Belts characteristics Modular conveyors belts Their protruding cones makes it ideal for preventing adherences and for transport on ramps or gentle slopes. PCS-50 AL Roller / accumulation derives from the PCS-50 Al flat top in which roller are incorporated. These rollers may be assembled in quantity and position completly differents according to the needs of the application. GRIP TOP Made using the PCS-12 NEO, PCS-25 AL and closed PCS-50 AL (PP), these have one layer with a “diamond” finishing 3.5 mm in height injected from above. The injection is made with an elastomer from the food...

Belts characteristics Modular conveyors belts There are two versions of the module, the difference being in whether or not they include a supporting element at the end, designed to act as a guide by inserting them in the sections installed in the conveyor's frame. Belt modules with straight flights (Series: PCS-25 AL, PCS-50 AL, PCS-50 Opened and PCS-40 AL) Belt modules with curved flights (Series PCS-50 AL) FLAT TOP CURVE Its design allows it to be used for mounting of curved conveyors with angles between 30 ° and 180 °. Being closed and suitable for food use is suitable it allows the...

Belts characteristics Modular conveyors belts 2.8. Materials available for slide guides in Modular Conveyor Belts be damaged, scratchaed, etc. It is especially designed to convey delicate foodstuffs. Nevertheless, according to the hardness, length, and rigidity of the inserted bristle, it can also be used to convey metallic sheets, glass and others. PLASTIC CONVEYOR SYSTEM has a complete range of profiles in plastic materials to construct modular conveyor belts. They are particularly suited for use as slide guides, flights, protection, or for the belts' slide rails. Used correctly, they...

Belts characteristics Modular conveyors belts 2.9.4. PCS-25 AL CLOSED / PCS-50 AL CLOSED WITH "SOFT" STRAIGHT FLIGHTS These are aimed at all those applications in which small impacts between the conveyed items and the walls can cause problems. PCS has developed these "flexible" and "soft"accessories made by elastomers approved by the FDA. According to each case, after a study carried out, their hardness can be adjusted to offer the most suitable solution for each one. They are mounted in combination with rigid modules. Any element of a PCS modular belt can be manufactured with these kinds...
