The Z-shaped angled conveyor belts of type ZL-HF 310 combine all the conveyor technology know-how gained from five decades of experience and countless projects. Both belt bends are independent of each other and each infinitely adjustable between 0° and 60°. A globally unique feature is that the belt tension remains constant across this entire adjustment range. This is achieved via mechanical sliders that precisely move the deflection pulley in the lower feed area.

In conjunction with the high-quality MTF conveyor belts, the belt tension compensation ensures that belt bulging is minimized and thus wear is prevented. A Z-shaped conveyor belt can thus be converted into a straight conveyor belt in just a few seconds. This is achieved via mechanical sliders that precisely move the deflection roller in the lower feed area. The Z-shaped belt conveyors of type ZL-HF 310 are used, among other things, for unloading from machines or for feeding materials to further processing. This type is particularly suitable when steep belt lengths of up to approximately 2,500 mm and relatively short upper flat belt lengths are required. The gas springs integrated into the base of the Z-conveyor allow for effortless adjustment of the conveyor angle. This conveying technology is therefore particularly suitable for applications where the discharge height needs to be adjusted frequently (e.g., due to different container heights). The upper flat belt of the Z-conveyor extends freely forward but can be additionally supported if required (e.g., for larger loads or longer flat belt sections). The lower flat belt section rests on the base frame, forming a stable, enclosed structure. This makes even larger conveyor belts easy to handle. The minimum feed height from the floor to the top edge of the standard feed hopper is approximately 400 mm. If required, the HB 310 base frame can be used as an alternative for the Z-conveyor, in which the lower flat belt section is set lower. This allows for lower feed heights. Conveyor technology of this design is used in many sectors for the removal of parts from production machines, for example in stamping plants, the plastics and electrical industries, surface treatment plants, etc. It is also frequently used to feed components into processing machines in the food industry or as a feed belt for recycling plants and mills. As with all MTF Multi-Tech conveyors, the angle of the Z-conveyor is also continuously adjustable between 0° and 60°. The belt tension remains constant across the entire adjustment range thanks to the belt tension compensation system patented by MTF Technik. This advantage also makes it possible, for example, to adjust the angle of the Z-conveyor pneumatically or electrically to adapt the discharge height to the process (drop height reduction). As standard, the ZL-HF 310 type Z-conveyor belts are equipped with conically turned drive and deflection rollers. This ensures a self-centering effect of the conveyor belts, eliminating the need for mechanical guides. The belts have lateral clearance within the profiles. This reduces wear. and effectively reduces abrasion and increases the service life of the conveyor belts.

A wide variety of conveyor belts made of different materials with different surface structures and properties from the MTF Technik standard range are available and can be mounted on these devices. Additional special belts can be provided if required. The Multi-Tech angle conveyor belts type ZL-HF 310 can be equipped with five different drive units, which, in combination with various gear reductions and controls, ensure optimal adaptation to the conveying task. Building on the basic configuration, a wide range of accessories and equipment such as metal detectors, fans, cooling systems, heaters, ionization devices, conveyor belt covers, sensors, chutes, separating attachments, etc., can be added.
