Turning Conveyor
90 degree and 180 degree conveyor turns for compact layouts.
Turning conveyors help connect processing, cooling, packing and inspection sections when the production line needs a direction change without manual transfer.
Conveyor turn options
SXD Industrial can design turning conveyors with mesh belt, chain plate or modular structure depending on product stability, line speed and available floor space.
We focus on smooth transfer, stable tracking and easy connection with existing equipment.
- 90 degree, 180 degree and custom turning radius layouts
- Stainless steel frame and food-grade contact surfaces available
- Adjustable side guards and transition sections
- Suitable for food processing, packaging and automation transfer
Technical data 技术参数
Standard specification range for turning conveyors常规规格范围
Turning conveyors save floor space by changing the line direction. The inner radius and belt width decide whether a mesh belt can track reliably.超出下表的尺寸可按图纸或样品评估后报价。
| Parameter / 参数 | Standard range / 常规范围 | How to choose / 选型说明 |
|---|---|---|
| Turn angle / 转角 | 90°, 180°, or custom angle | 90° and 180° are standard and ship faster than custom angles. |
| Belt width W / 带宽 | 300 – 1500 mm | Width is measured on the running surface, not the outer frame. |
| Inner radius R / 内半径 | Minimum 500 mm (mesh belt), from 800 mm recommended | A small radius increases belt tension and wear on the inner edge. |
| Belt type / 带型 | Mesh belt, chain plate belt, modular belt | Mesh belt with chain edge tracks best on curves. |
| Line speed / 线速度 | 2 – 20 m/min | Higher speed on a curve increases side thrust and belt wear. |
| Load capacity / 承载 | Up to 80 kg/m² | Reduce the load for small radii or high speeds. |
| Frame material / 机架材质 | SS304, carbon steel painted | SS304 for food and wash-down areas. |
| Drive position / 驱动位置 | Inner or outer side, motor/gearbox mounted | Outer-side drive gives easier access for maintenance. |
Selection guide 选型对照
How to specify a turning conveyor按工况快速选型
| Working condition / 工况 | Recommended / 推荐型号 | Reason / 理由 |
|---|---|---|
| Tight corner, limited floor space | 90° turn, radius 500 – 800 mm, chain edge mesh | A chain edge keeps the belt tracking even on a small radius. |
| Return loop in a dryer or cooler | 180° turn, radius matched to the machine | Matches the tunnel layout so the belt returns inside the same footprint. |
| Heavy product on a curve | Chain plate belt with larger radius | Rigid plates resist the side thrust that would distort a woven mesh. |
| High line speed | Increase radius and use sprocket drive | Side thrust grows with the square of speed, so radius matters more. |
| Wash-down food area | SS304 frame with chain edge mesh belt | Open frame and stainless construction withstand frequent cleaning. |
