BELT CONVEYORS

As an expert on NZ conveyor belt solutions, MCL delivers belt conveyors designed with precision and reliability in mind, ensuring seamless transportation of goods and materials with minimal downtime.

Benefits of belt conveyors

  • Ideal for conveying items of different sizes, soft or irregularly shaped unstable products. 

  • Smooth and easily controllable.

  • Minimise downtime and improve workflow.

  • Reduce labour and speed up processing.

  • Minimise possible injury and product damage.

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.

Belt conveyor types

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.

(15) 3M ACCUMULATION FABRIC BELT WITH STANDS
Single Belt Conveyor

A conveyor system with a single continuous belt, ideal for simple material transportation tasks with minimal complexity.
(21) ROLLER TOP MBC WITH STANDS (ARB)
Insert Roller Belt Conveyor

Uses rollers to support and guide materials smoothly, ideally for product accumulation. Often used for referencing products to a certain point in the system.
(14) 3M FABRIC BELT WITH STANDS
Flat Belt Conveyor

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.
(14) INCLINE FABRIC BELT WITH STANDS
Incline Belt Conveyor

Designed to convey materials at an incline, enabling transportation of goods between different elevations, suitable for applications where space is limited.
(14 & 16) Transport Only Fabric Belt Conveyor
Decline Belt Conveyor

Moves materials downward along a decline, facilitating the controlled descent of goods.
(19) GRIP TOP MB DECLINE WITH STANDS
Modular Belt Conveyor

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.
(17) Flighted Fabric Belt Conveyor
Cleated Belt Conveyor

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.
(26) Slat Chain Conveyor
Slat Chain Belt Conveyor

Utilises slats or plates linked together by chains to form a continuous conveying surface, ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring high durability.
(20) FLIGHTED 3M MBC WITH STANDS
Flighted Belt Conveyor

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.

  • Powder Coated Mild Steel

    Reliable and cost-effective, our powder coated mild steel belt conveyors offer durability and versatility for various industrial applications.

  • Stainless Steel (304 and 316)

    Engineered for corrosion resistance, our stainless steel belt conveyors ensure optimal performance in washdown and pharmaceutical environments, and some food processing environments.

  • Galvanised Steel

    Robust and weather-resistant, our galvanised steel belt conveyors are ideal for outdoor and industrial settings, providing durability and longevity.

  • Aluminium

    Lightweight and durable, our aluminium belt conveyors are designed for ultra-light applications, offering ease of handling and installation without compromising on strength.
Flat belt conveyors generally use flexible material belts constructed from rubber or PVC if they are fabric belts. Our modular options include polypropylene, acetal, polyethylene or nylon. If you have questions about the other options of our belt conveyors, please reach out.

Belt conveyor modular options

Our modular belt conveyor systems are designed for flexibility and scalability, allowing for easy customisation or expansion as your business grows.

With modular components that can be easily reconfigured and integrated into existing systems, our conveyors offer a high level of versatility. Below are some examples of what you can customise via modular components:

  • Construction
  • Dimensions
  • Automation
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Belt Type
  • Hygiene Standards
  • Device Connectivity
  • Compatibility
  • Safety

Construction

Choose from mild steel (powder coated or galvanised), stainless steel, or aluminium profile construction for durability and suitability to your environment.

Dimensions

Tailor your conveyor to virtually any width or length, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your operation.

Automation

Opt for fully or semi-automated controls, with options for line control and variable speed controls to optimise productivity.

Energy Efficiency

Incorporate energy-saving drives to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.

Belt Type

Select from a range of belt types including fabric, rubber, PVC, cleated belts and more. You can even use belt over rollers for added versatility.

Hygiene Standards

Meet wash-down and food-grade standards for applications in food processing and pharmaceutical industries with optional materials.

Device Connectivity

Seamlessly integrate with other conveyors and equipment, including data sharing for Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.

Compatibility

Easily integrate with existing capital equipment by simply replacing the belt conveyor, without the need for extensive modifications.

Safety

Ensure safety with belt conveyor machine guarding, adhering to industry standards and regulations for operator protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A BELT CONVEYOR?

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.
WHAT IS A BELT CONVEYOR USED FOR?

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.
WHAT IS THE EXPECTED LIFE OF A BELT CONVEYOR?

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.
