Bosch Rexroth expands VarioFlow conveyor system
Bosch Rexroth is expanding its comprehensive VarioFlow conveyor system to include the new VarioFlow belt conveyor variant, which features a fine-meshed chain surface.
According to the company, it ensures that Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) are transported gently and efficiently. The VarioFlow belt product line fits seamlessly into the VarioFlow system portfolio, reduces engineering times and enables a customized material flow.
The new VarioFlow belt conveyor is a stand-alone conveyor system for flexible CPG products, delicate products and diverse items. The modular belt chain has a very fine-meshed, almost closed and flat surface. This makes it suitable for the mass transport of unstable or bulk, film-packed products such as small sealed-edge bags.
However, the VarioFlow belt conveyor can also be used to convey large or wide products.
VarioFlow belt includes modular belts in standard widths of 406 and 608 mm. Scalable cross connectors make it possible for integrators to also implement customized belt widths with identical system components. The basic components of the modular belt conveyor system comprise the base unit for the drive, the return unit, the section profile as well as vertical and horizontal curves. These allow conveyor lengths of up to 30 m, layouts with curves on both sides and conveyor speeds of up to 40 m/min to be realized with one drive. In terms of accessories, VarioFlow plus and VarioFlow belt use identical system components such as product guides, leg sets and drive kits.
