Loading and Up Turn Area

The loading area incorporates a special design since a skirtboard used on a conventional troughed belt conveyor will not work with a corrugated sidewall belt.

The up turn wheels redirect and guide the belt into the incline section.

Incline and Walkway Section

For less than 90 degree vertical lift applications, special idlers support the carrying side of the belt.  Because of their cantilevered design, Stub idlers on the return side must be extra heavy duty.  The walkway design is critical for good maintenance access.  For 90 degree vertical lift applications, support idlers and walkways may not be required at all.  Since the walkway may cost as much as the conveyor, a vertical conveyor may be worth considering for your application.

Nose Over and Discharge Area

The discharge area has the highest tension of the conveyor.  The design of this area is critical in order to prevent Nose Over Idler failure and Vibration within the system.
