Curve conveyors consist of three main segments: 180-degree curve conveyor, 90-degree curve conveyor, and 45-degree curve conveyor. Additionally, they are divided into three groups, PVC belts, moduler belts, conical and metal roller conveyors.
Conical roller curve conveyors are generally preferred for carrying boxes or in applications where the bottom part of the product that is in contact with the conveyor is wide.
However, when transporting very heavy products to avoid the potential damage to the conveyor belt, specially manufactured metal roller curve conveyors can be used.
PVC conveyors are generally preferred for boxes or direct product contact materials, and narrow radius turning points.
