Small Belt Conveyors

Straight small belt conveyors type IL Introduction

Straight Small Belt Conveyors type IL

The low construction height and the perfect proportions of outer width and effective width make these belt conveyors essential devices where only limited space is available..

That is why the "I" in the type description stands for "Integration" in machine shafts, production processes, automation equipment etc.

The large choice of belt materials, drive units and base frames make them universally deployable. Their scope of application stretches from discharging transport belts from punching machines to transport belts in pharmacy automation facilities or dust-free rooms.

Small conveyor IL-SONDER in a tunnel metal detector for quality assurance of food packaging.

The exceptional is almost normal. Many small conveyors of the type I-Tech must be integrated in existing structures or serve to execute specific tasks. Depending on the dimensions of the conveyor, belt load, transported goods and client specifications, the MTF engineers design custom solution, e.g.

  • Divider belts
  • Integration of metal detection devices
  • Connection to pipe systems
  • Suspension from the ceiling or wall mounted


Negatively angled small conveyor belts of type INL Introduction

Negatively angled Small Belt Conveyors of type INL

MTF I-Tech angled Belt Conveyors are a perfect solution where transported goods must be discharged from very low machine shafts and then transported upwards.

They are often used for packaging machines or e.g. plastic injection moulding machines or blow forming machines where they serve as discharge conveyors.

The conveying angle is fixed (30°, 45° or 60°). The maximum belt width is 500mm.

Depending on the particular task, numerous different belts, drive units and base frame types are available.
