As we’ve spoken about in previous blogs, automated conveying systems are an important part of efficiency and productivity in today’s manufacturing environments. To maintain the competitive edge, manufacturers need material handling systems that are superior in both function and form. We deliver those qualities with our ZTR Powered Curve conveyor system.
The ZTR Curve enables 90°, and 180° powered curves in a wide variety of sizes that will meet the needs of various applications and industries. The system maintains a constant inner radius no matter the belt width and can even have a small inner radius for wider belts. With smooth and reliable 90° and 180° transfers, products maintain location and duration with no relative movement between product and belt. Additionally, lug tooth sprocket engagement for positive drive keeps everything moving along smoothly.
Compared to other technology, the ZTR Curve greatly reduces annual cost of ownership. Solid, robust conveyor construction means low and easy maintenance. If the belt needs repair or replacement, this positive drive, low tension system makes maintenance a simple task.
Cutting edge technology enhances this system and eliminates belt tracking issues and the need for additional centering devices. Light, heavy, and extreme duty designs are available with support of loads up to 2,976 lb/ft possible.
As with other systems that require extra care, we use modular belting supplied from our partner Intralox® on the ZTR Curve. The flat-top modular ZERO TANGENT™ Radius belting provides for good contact and support surface for products with no catch points. With improved reliability you can count on less downtime and greater productivity.
Although we know the high-quality built into every one of our systems we also know that eventually repairs are necessary. With spare parts available for overnight shipping you will be back in business in no time.
We have develop the ZTR Curve in response to industry’s need for innovative systems that will enhance the manufacturing operation. Our open architecture approach allows for future expansions and unlimited use within a facility. With the ZTR Curve we have enhanced the material handling operation for all types of applications while considering space and usage accommodations. At UMD Automated Systems we’ll help you turn the corner on a new automated curved conveyor system!
