Wire Belt Offers New Flat-Flex Shuttle Conveyor

Ideal for transferring products between different size belts

Wire Belt Company of America, a developer of advanced belting solutions, announces the Flat-Flex Shuttle Conveyor, the newest conveyor design in Wire Belt's CarrySmart line of conveyors. The Flat-Flex Shuttle Conveyor is designed to gap the product and turn its direction of travel through 90 degrees.

The Flat-Flex Shuttle Conveyor is ideal for the transferring of a product from a narrow size belt to a much wider belt or vice versa, depending on the specified stroke of the shuttle. For example, a custom made short stroke makes it possible to transfer products from a wide belt to a narrow belt. The Flat-Flex Shuttle Conveyor comes with standard items such as a variable speed electric motor drive. Other drive options are available. Careful attention to design and the use of Flat-Flex stainless steel belting makes it a hygienic piece of equipment that is suitable for all food processing applications.
