Pop-up flight does just what the name says. It pops up at the foot of the conveyor incline to support the food as it moves up the elevator, holding it steady. Then, once the product’s been successfully discharged, the flight pops down again so an automatic scraper can clean up the belt – especially helpful for sticky, clingy food products. So you won’t have to sweep up costly wasted product from the floor as the belt moves on its return path.

uni JCB

Uni_3.jpg  jcb_IMG_7112.jpg  jcb_GR-12.jpg  

uni JCB is the product name for the next generation modular belt designed especially for product handling within the corrugated board Industry.

Surface Profile

The uni JCB belt features a Y surface profile; this surface combines the needs of several functions. The main objective is to improve the non-slip properties of the belt surface whilst at the same time offering a support surface which would not damage or mark the corrugated boards. Thus the Y surface is a careful balance between improving non-slip conditions and non-marking support of corrugated lower sheets.

A tapered or sloping edge profile is retained at both sides of each modular links top surface to ensure no snag points exist when corrugated stacks are pushed sideways on transfer units or stacks have their direction rotated on special conveyor sections. In addition the Y surface plays an important role in improving the mechanical properties of the belts, the extra material in the Y top profile has been placed in-line with the tensile force lines between hinges and serves to increase the overall belt tensile stiffness.

Coloured for safety

Standard construction of all JCB belts for the corrugated industry will incorporate orange links 76mm wide (3 inches) mounted on alternating pitches along both belt edges. This further enhances the safety aspects of the belt.
