Curve Conveyor

Curved conveyors for line routing

Washing and handling lines are rarely built in a straight line. With curve conveyors the line can pass columns, run along a wall or return towards its starting end, so the equipment fits into the existing building.

The curve conveyor carries products through the bend while keeping their position, so the next machine receives crates and stacks in a controlled way.

Curve conveyors are used on food, beverage, bakery and logistics lines for both single crates and crate stacks.

Plastic chain or roller model?

Plastic chain curve conveyor

The plastic chain-driven curve conveyor is meant for lighter loads such as single crates. The chain allows tight curve radii, so the bend fits into a small space.

Roller curve conveyor

The roller curve conveyor is designed for heavier stacked loads such as crate stacks.

Both models are available with different curve angles, and the curves are joined to straight conveyors to suit the line layout.

Part of the conveyor system

The modular construction connects to other Pohjaranta conveyors, such as the accumulation roller conveyor, the crate conveyor and storage conveyors, and to washing lines. The curve conveyor is designed and built in Säkylä, Finland, in the same project as the rest of the line.
