Bidirectional conveyors

Overview

Bidirectional conveyors

Conveyor belting benchmark

Fabric-based synthetic belts or modular plastic belts.

Problem description

Bidirectional conveyors usually require a central omega drive, which adds bulk, mechanical complexity, and extra weight to the conveyor frame. Modular belts also need a catenary sag, further increasing space requirements and limiting design flexibility.

AMMdrive solution

AMMdrive belts can operate in both directions without a central omega drive. Thanks to the positive drive system, they can push as well as pull, enabling compact, low-maintenance bidirectional conveyors with fewer components.
