Rope Belt Conveyors are recommended for injection molders running thick-wall parts or large parts which could
be damaged if dropped hot onto a flat belt conveyor. By minimizing the surface contacts with the belt, parts are protected from surface mars and can cool
faster. Blow molders often find these conveyors ideal for warm parts which must be gently handled until cool.
Rope belting is made of polyurethane and is supported by grooved plastic supports on the conveyor slide tray. The suspended belting allows part-cooling
air to circulate under the parts and 'gives' when parts are placed on it, providing a soft drop. Spacing between the belts can be adjusted to allow it to adapt
to a variety of part configurations.
Because Rope Belt Conveyors allow access between the belts, they are an excellent choice when using 'pop-up' assembly devices, closing fixtures, stops or other automation aids.
A wide variety of belts are available to meet specific application needs.
