Are belt conveyor systems right for my business?
The biggest strength of a belt conveyor is versatility, as they can be used in both slow-moving assembly lines, or high-speed applications. The flat surface is gentle on materials or products and can be adapted easily for incline, decline or curving paths.
Belt conveyors are typically better equipped to handle a wider range of goods than roller conveyors, which are best suited to boxes or other evenly shaped objects. Whether you're in manufacturing, warehousing, distribution or any other industry that requires efficient material handling, belt conveyor systems can be an ideal solution.

MCL offers a range of conveyor belt types to better cater to specific industry requirements. From laboratory-style conveyor belts for lightweight mining or rock sampling, to modular belt conveyors for food post grading and packaging, we have a solution to suit every need.
Conveyor construction is dependent on application and working environment, but will always be built to withstand daily operation for years, delivering reliable performance and optimising your workflow in a cost-effective manner.
A conveyor system with a single continuous belt, ideal for simple material transportation tasks with minimal complexity.
Uses rollers to support and guide materials smoothly, ideally for product accumulation. Often used for referencing products to a certain point in the system.
Features a flat, continuous belt surface for the transportation of goods, providing a stable platform for easy loading and unloading. Can accumulate or merge products.
Designed to convey materials at an incline, enabling transportation of goods between different elevations, suitable for applications where space is limited.
Moves materials downward along a decline, facilitating the controlled descent of goods.
Utilises interlocking plastic modules to form a continuous belt. If a section is damaged, only that section needs to be replaced. Great for sharper materials.
Equipped with cleats or partitions on the belt surface to prevent items from sliding down or slipping off. Can be used when an incline/decline angle is too steep for a grip belt.
Utilises slats or plates linked together by chains to form a continuous conveying surface, ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring high durability.
Incorporates flights along the belt to assist in the transportation of loose or irregularly shaped items. The same concept as a cleated belt, but for modular belts only.
Belt conveyor manufacturing options
The frames and side panels of our belt conveyors are available in several different materials which you can see listed below. We also offer many construction options as to how to support and return the belt.
Depending on your application requirements, other construction features can be incorporated, such as centre drives and nose bars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Belt conveyors are mechanical, moving bands of fabric, rubber or plastic with numerous configurations of slat or roller inserts to provide added benefits such as accumulation, sortation and separation. They are designed to easily transport materials and goods along a predetermined path.
Belt conveyors have multiple uses. For example, they are suitable for objects and products that are too small or irregularly shaped to be moved with roller conveyors, or for moving products on an incline or decline.
Belt conveyors are therefore not usually used to transport pallets or excessive weights, but are fantastic for other, smaller objects. They can be useful for moving boxes on an incline or decline.
The expected life of a belt conveyor depends on factors such as usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. With proper care and maintenance, which MCL can help provide, belt conveyors can provide years of reliable service.
