We require the following information to
design your Versaflex: Operating Temperature
Versaflex can be continuously operated in a temperature
range between -20° C and +60° C. It can also
be briefly operated in temperatures of up to 100° C,
e.g. for cleaning and rinsing.
Chain tensile force
In the following cases, the chain tensile force and
the performance of the drive units must generally
be calculated and monitored:
High load
Accumulation
Vertical conveyors
High conveyor speed
Very long conveyors
Conveyors with sliding bends (horizontal
or vertical)
Frequent starts and stops (cycle operation)
Very high or low ambient temperatures
Product Properties
Product dimensions (LxWxH)
Product weight
Surface properties (smooth, sharp-edged, soft,
hard, etc.)
Operating Properties
Conveyor speed (m/min; piece/min)
Are the products accumulated?
Cycle operation start-stop/h
Process environment
(hot, cold, dry, wet, dusty, dirty, etc.)
Conveyor System Data
Track layout
Upper edge of belt conveyor (floor supports, wall
brackets, ceiling suspension)
Transitions (product transfer or discharge)
