Flex-Turn®
Convey around corners while maintaining product orientation and spacing
Flex-Turn® conveyors gently move products around corners while maintaining proper product alignment and spacing. Flex-Turn® conveyors offer the tightest level transfer and smallest inside turning radius available. Compact in design, Flex-Turn® conveyors solve tight production line space problems.
Flex-Turn® Conveyor Advantages:
Gentle handling minimizes product damage
Maintains product orientation and spacing around turns
Unique non-collapsing tapered-pitch belt
Easy to use, clean, and maintain
The Flex-Turn® range offers choices of size, belt width and configuration, providing a turn conveyor to suit almost every situation. Turns through 90° or 180° are standard, though other angles from 45° to 180° are available.
Three Series offer different constructions of the belt support:
The Series 300 Flex-Turn® conveyor is an open, stainless steel framed turn conveyor. This open structure allows for the easy removal of debris, and facilitates washing and draining.
The Series 400 Flex-Turn® conveyor has a solid polyethylene top. This prevents the product from falling through, or becoming entangled with, the strands of the belt.
The Series 500 Flex-Turn® conveyor has a solid stainless steel top, with stainless steel running rails. This option is particularly suited in some meat processing situations.
