Clean, safe and able to negotiate curves of up to 180°
The Sicon conveyor belt remains closed from the feeding point through to the discharge point. It is therefore able to meet particularly stringent requirements with regard to its ability to negotiate curves, its cost-efficiency and its environmental compatibility.
Sicon conveyor belts offer extreme flexibility when it comes to designing the layout of the line, allowing them to be perfectly tailored to any environment.

They can cope with corners and edges without the need for additional transfer points. Cornering radii of less than a meter can be achieved, making it possible to establish serpentine routing, which is often required to cope with major altitude differences over very short distances.
Drive and curves – The belt is guided into curves by means of individual deflection pulleys. The drives are fitted in at curves of at least 90°. |
Loading – The belt can be loaded at anywhere along the conveyor route. Special guide pulleys function to give the belt a U-shaped opening. In this way, the belt cushions the fall of the material during loading while steadying and accelerating its flow. |
Discharge – In the case of horizontal discharge, the belt opens up gradually and the pear-shaped pouch is transformed in to a flat surface. The material being conveyed drops off as the belt passes over the deflector pulley. No scraper is required. After discharge, the belt regains its original pouch form for the return run. |
