Side Flexing Curve Conveyor – Modular Belt Type

Muvro’s Side Flexing Curve Conveyor is engineered for smooth directional changes in material handling systems, especially where long or delicate items must travel through wide-radius curves. Designed for packaging lines, FMCG handling, warehousing, and manufacturing, it enables stable product flow without compromising integrity. The system supports curve angles from 25° to 180° and requires short tangent sections before and after each curve to en...

Key Features

Side Flexing Geometry

Enables lateral articulation for precise curve routing with tangent transition zones.

Compact Turning Radius

Accommodates curves up to 1860 mm radius based on belt width.

Modular Belt Design

1-inch pitch belt for flexibility, easy replacement, and high load capacity.

Stable Product Handling

Flat, uniform surface ensures smooth movement through curves.

Smooth Transition Zones

Controlled speed and optimized layout for seamless straight-to-curve transitions.

Energy-Efficient Motorization

IE3-rated motors with VFDs ensure efficient and controlled operation.

Control & Automation Suite

Drive & Speed Control

  • The Side Flexing Curve Conveyor is powered by an IE3-rated helical gear motor controlled through a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), enabling precise speed adjustments between 10 to 60 m/min based on product flow and upstream system demands.

PLC & Industrial Protocol Integration

  • The drive system integrates seamlessly with PLC platforms from Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or Beckhoff, supporting industrial protocols such as Profinet, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT.

Sensor-Based Automation

  • Photoelectric sensors are employed for product presence detection, jam monitoring, and automated start/stop functionality.

HMI Interface (Optional)

  • For enhanced usability, an optional HMI touchscreen provides real-time system diagnostics, adjustable speed profiles, and maintenance notifications.

Safety PLC Integration

  • Where required, all safety I/O can be managed through a SIL-rated safety PLC, ensuring compliance with high-integrity safety standards.

Industry Applications

1

Food Processing & Packaging

Transport of boxed goods, trays, and dry packaged items

2

FMCG / Personal Care

Handling of bottles, sachets, and cartons

3

Warehousing

Conveying cartons between racking zones

4

Assembly & Manufacturing

Routing components around equipment or inspection areas

Safety

Integrated Operator Safety

  • Operator safety is integral to the design of the Side Flexing Curve Conveyor.

Safety Guarding & Covers

  • The system is equipped with full-height safety guarding and transparent polycarbonate covers that protect personnel from moving components while maintaining clear visibility for monitoring.

Emergency Stop Access

  • Emergency stop push buttons and pull cord switches are strategically located along the conveyor’s curve for immediate access in case of an emergency.

LOTO Compliance

  • Clearly marked Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO) points ensure safe electrical and mechanical isolation during maintenance or servicing.

Standards Compliance

  • These safety features enable the conveyor to comply with international safety standards, including ISO, OSHA, and CE directives.

Technical Specifications

Engineered for smooth curved transfers, optimized airflow, hygienic material options, adjustable speed control, and reliable low-noise performance across food-grade and industrial environments.
