EBM Sidewinder - Belt Drag Conveyor
The Sidewinder Belt Drag Conveyor is engineered to minimize operational disruptions, offering a smooth and efficient transport system that employs a vertical belt instead of a traditional chain. This design is particularly effective in reducing noise, vibration, and maintenance needs while preventing material damage. The motorized pulley system ensures smooth, uninterrupted movement, even around corners, with options for both round-bottom and flat-bottom troughs. Its unique configuration allows for product discharge at multiple points, making it versatile for integration into various industrial systems. The conveyor supports simultaneous bidirectional movement, maximizing product clean-out capabilities and facilitating the transport of multiple products on an incline of up to 40 degrees. It exemplifies robust material handling with minimal metal-to-product contact, thus managing dust and ensuring efficient operation within industrial settings.
The Sidewinder™ belt drag conveyor is one of the most versatile drag conveyors on the market. The Sidewinder™ is the only drag conveyor to utilize a belt instead of a chain.
The belt lies vertical in the trough and flights are attached to the belt. A motorized pulley system pulls the belt and flights smoothly through the trough, thus reducing noise, vibration, maintenance and damage.
The belt provides smooth movement through the discharge points and around corners. Round-bottom or flat-bottom troughs are available.
The most common layout for a Sidewinder™ contains two 180° corners and lies parallel to a horizontal plane or at an incline. The belt system is cyclical, because the belt is moving in two directions at the same time.
This common layout has the option of discharging product at both ends, one end, and/or an intermediate discharge points(s). Often, this layout is utilized when installed underneath our Gentle Roll™ screener as a discharge system.
Utilizes a Belt Instead of a Chain
The only drag conveyor to utilize a belt instead of a chain.
Simultaneous Movement
Provides simultaneous movement in both directions, movement of more than one product at a time and high angle range (up to 40° incline).
Minimum Maintenance
The Sidewinder™ reduces noise, vibration, maintenance and damage.
Utilizes a Belt Instead of a Chain
The only drag conveyor to utilize a belt instead of a chain. Each Sidewinder™ provides excellent dust control and uses only the highest quality materials.
Easy Product Entry
The Sidewinder™ integrates inlets on top of the troughs to allow for easy product entry.
Diminishes Product Damage
The Sidewinder™ moves the product in bulk so there is very little product to metal contact, thus diminishing product damage.
Maximizes Product Clean Out
Because the flights perfectly fit in the round-bottom trough, product clean-out during operation is maximized.
Provides Simultaneous Movement
Provides full clean-out, simultaneous movement in both directions, movement of more than one product at a time and high angle range (up to 40° incline).
Minimum Maintenance
The Sidewinder™ reduces noise, vibration, maintenance and damage.
