Regal Introduces Turnkey Retrofits of Live-Roller Conveyors

Regal Power Transmission Solutions is introducing at Promat (March 23-26, at Chicago’s McCormick Place) a new turnkey retrofit program that transforms live-roller conveyors for sustainable, high-uptime performance. Combining its System Plast modular plastic belt and chain, high-efficiency Hub City or Grove Gear drives and long-lived Sealmaster material handling bearings, Regal provides single-source or à la carte capabilities for on-site evaluation, consulting, layout design, validation and installation. The variety of conveying surfaces available from System Plast creates new options for every material handling need from single bottles to cases, people and even cars.

System Plast engineers a wide variety of conveyor belt and chain for low-maintenance, high-efficiency performance, utilizing proprietary polymer formulations to suit application requirements. Regal will demonstrate its directionally unlimited roller top belt that can align products to any angle, divert them, sort to multiple lanes, rotate, combine, or gap them – all done softly without contact. 

System Plast 2253RT roller top belt simplifies conveyor design and installation with its independently controlled moving surface that easily handles large or small, flat-bottom products, moving them on half-inch (12.5 mm) balls spaced on one inch (25.4 mm) centers. It supports loads up to 617 lb/ft (9,000 Nm/m) or 1.1 lb/ball (0.5 kg/ball). The belt’s non-contact product manipulation eliminates impact and abrasion damage from pushers, as well as the need for mechanical adjustment or changeovers for conventional diverters or guides.

System Plast heavy duty and extra heavy duty plastic belts provide a non-skid, energy efficient conveyor surface for moving walkways, automotive assembly lines, car washes, and general material handling of heavy loads, such as barrels, drums, kegs and pallets.
