An aluminum extrusion conveyor is a type of conveyor system that utilizes an extruded aluminum frame for its construction. This type of conveyor offers a sturdy and lightweight solution for material handling applications. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, packaging, and more.

Features of Aluminum Extrusion Conveyors:

Anodized Extruded Aluminum Frame: The conveyor frame is made of anodized extruded aluminum, which provides durability and corrosion resistance.
Side Channels: The frame has side channels that accept standard 3/8" hex head bolts/nuts, allowing for easy attachment of peripheral equipment.
Aluminum Side Rails: The conveyor has anodized aluminum side rails that overlap the belt on each side, preventing small molded parts from getting pinched or lost.
Leg Sets: The conveyor comes with heavy-duty powder-coated steel leg sets with locking swivel castors. Extruded aluminum leg sets are also available as an option.
Drive Package: The conveyor is equipped with a 1/3 hp 110V input AC variable speed drive, providing flexibility in speed control.
Belt Tensioning and Guidance: Automatic spring-loaded belt tensioning ensures proper belt tension and tracking. V-guided True Track Belt Guidance System is included for improved belt tracking.
Pulleys and Bearings: The conveyor features exclusive pulleys with built-in belt traction teeth and self-aligning bearings that are permanently lubricated and maintenance-free.
Belting: The conveyor uses laced, flat PVC belting that is easy to clean and FDA approved. It can withstand temperatures up to 210°F. Cleated belts with high cleats on 18" centers are also available.
Frame Size: The conveyor is available in both metric and feet-inch frame sizes, providing flexibility in design and integration.
Advantages of Aluminum Extrusion Conveyors:

Modular Design: The modular design of these conveyors allows for easy customization and expansion as per specific application requirements.
Reduced Engineering and Lead Time: The modular approach reduces engineering and lead time, making it quicker to implement conveyor systems.
Robust Construction: The aluminum extrusion frame and high-quality components ensure durability and reduce operating expenses.
Custom Solutions: These conveyors can be customized to meet specific application needs, providing tailored solutions for material handling.
