Miniature or Mini Belt Conveyors

Mini Belt conveyors for where space is tight

Our miniature belt conveyor systems are versatile and extremely compact. Mini belt conveyors are used for small parts transport in automated machines with little conveyor space. These very small conveyors have either integral DC motors inside the body of the conveyor, or small external DC motors, usually at the drive end. They are used for transporting mainly small, light parts. On the models where the motor is integrated into the conveyor belt body, there is no underslung or otherwise visible motor. This has obvious advantages such as space saving and the fact that it can fit into designs and existing machinery with little need to redesign or move other components. Their speed and weigh capacity id however a little more limited than the versions with external DC motors. 

Microbelt conveyors.

Most of the microbelt conveyors have the internal DC motor using a bevelled gearbox to take power to the driven roller. Transformers and controllers are available for variable speed and also for use with AC supply.  These small conveyors have the benefit of very low vibration in operation. Maximum miniature belt conveyor load 10kg. (Possibly higher with special build, please ask) These standard miniature belt conveyors are based on aluminium profiles with t-slots for easy mounting and positioning. Miniature conveyor belt lengths range from 200mm to 1600mm (Other lengths sometimes possible on request)

20mm (thick) X 40mm (wide) section with 35mm wide belt
30X60mm section with 50mm wide belt
40X80mm section with 70mm wide belt
40X120mm section with 110mm wide belt
40X160mm section with 150mm wide belt

External DC drive belt conveyors

Automation supplies also offer a range of small conveyors with external DC motors. This generally means more flexibility in speed and weight capacity because the motors are not encased in the conveyor body. The available widths possible to manufacture are also more varied.

These small conveyors use 22mm and 42mm dia. rollers and direct drives, centre drives and end drives with gearing are available.

The narrowest belts available are 15mm on a 20mm wide aluminium profile with 22mm rollers. The widest standard belt is 115mm on a 120mm wide aluminium profile with 42mm dia. rollers.    

The range of lengths available are from the smallest at 150mm long, up to 2500mm. These lengths are different depending on the type of conveyor and the job it's performing.

Of course, advice and estimates for all these conveyors is but a phone call or e-mail away.
