Differences between Conventional Belting and Modular Plastic Belting for Conveying

Plastic modular belting offers numerous advantages over conventional belting materials, including greater customization options, easier maintenance and repair, enhanced durability, and improved hygiene. By understanding these differences, engineers can make informed decisions when selecting conveyor systems for their applications, ultimately optimizing efficiency, productivity, and reliability.

 

 Conventional Belt

Modular Belt 

Construction  Conventional belting is typically made from synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, or rubber. These belts consist of a continuous loop of material that is flexible but may require additional support structures for stability. Modular plastic belting is composed of interlocking plastic modules, connected by hinge rods or pins. This modular construction allows for greater flexibility in design and configuration, as well as easier maintenance and repair. 
 CustomisationConventional belts are usually available in standard sizes and configurations, with limited customization options. Alterations to the belt length or width may require special ordering or cutting. Modular plastic belts offer extensive customization options, allowing engineers to tailor the belt size, shape, and configuration to suit specific application requirements. Modules can be easily added, removed, or replaced to accommodate changes in conveyor layout or product handling needs. 
Maintenance and Repair  Maintenance and repair of conventional belts often require specialized tools and techniques. Damaged sections may need to be spliced or replaced entirely, leading to downtime and production interruptions. Modular plastic belts are designed for easy maintenance and repair. Individual modules can be quickly disconnected and replaced without the need for specialized tools or skills. This minimizes downtime and ensures continuous operation of the conveyor system. 
 Durability and Longevity Conventional belts may wear out over time due to factors such as abrasion, stretching, or chemical exposure. This can result in reduced performance and frequent replacements. Modular plastic belts are highly durable and resistant to wear, abrasion, and chemical corrosion. Their robust construction ensures longevity even in harsh operating environments, reducing the need for frequent replacements and associated costs. 
 Hygiene and Sanitation Conventional belts may absorb moisture, harbor bacteria, and accumulate debris, posing hygiene and sanitation risks, especially in food processing or pharmaceutical applications. Modular plastic belts are non-porous and easy to clean, making them ideal for hygienic and sanitary applications. Their smooth surfaces prevent bacterial growth and allow for thorough cleaning, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and standards. 

Plastic modular belting offers numerous advantages over conventional belting materials, including greater customization options, easier maintenance and repair, enhanced durability, and improved hygiene. By understanding these differences, engineers can make informed decisions when selecting conveyor systems for their applications, ultimately optimizing efficiency, productivity, and reliability.
