At Kramer & Duyvis, we have specialised in providing customised curve conveyors for more than 60 years. These conveyor solutions are crucial for various industries, ranging from the food industry to logistics. Our curved conveyors provide an efficient way to change the transport direction without having to touch the products-essential for safely moving fragile goods such as flowers, biscuits, and chocolate.
In this blog, we take you through the benefits of bend belts and why Kramer & Duyvis is the ideal partner for companies looking for high-quality, sustainable transport solutions.
The advantages of curved conveyors
1. Efficiently Changing Transport Direction
One of the main reasons for using a curve conveyor is the ability to change the transport direction. Bending belts make it possible to take sharp turns, even up to 180 degrees, without taking up extra space. This is particularly useful in environments where every square metre counts, such as in factories or distribution centres.
2. Maintaining Orientation and Position
Our curved conveyors ensure that products remain in the desired orientation and position during transport. This is especially useful in production lines where the way a product is delivered, such as to a machine or packing station, is crucial for the further process. This helps streamline integration with other machines, increasing overall efficiency.
3. Suitable for Fragile Products
For transporting delicate products, curve conveyors are an excellent choice. Their design and controlled movements eliminate the need for direct contact with the product. This means sensitive goods, such as glassware, flowers, or chocolate, can be transported from A to B without damage.
4. Suitable for High Production Capacity
When continuity and speed are important, curve conveyors offer a perfect solution. They can be smoothly integrated into high production capacity systems without compromising the reliability or efficiency of the conveying process.
5. Flexible for Different Product Dimensions
curved conveyors can be customised for different product dimensions. Whether it's small biscuits, heavy wooden boards, or long strips of glass wool-our curve belts can handle it. This makes them ideal for production lines where variation in product size plays a role.
6. High Product Diversity
Curved conveyors are flexible enough to transport various types of products, from cases to packages. This versatility allows different products to be moved on the same conveyor belt, making the transport process more efficient.
7. Space-saving
In factories where space is at a premium, curve conveyors are a godsend. Being able to transport products in sharp bends, they make best use of the available space. This helps to increase shop floor efficiency without having to compromise on the transport route.
8. Circumventing Obstacles
Another advantage of curve conveyors is their flexibility to bypass obstacles, such as columns or machinery. This allows the transport route to be fully adapted to the customer's specific requirements without the need for major modifications to the plant infrastructure.
9. Availability of Parts
