Flat Belt Conveyors

Overview

The Industrial Kinetics Belt on Slider Bed (BSB) and Belt on Roller (BOR) Conveyors are designed for the smooth, controlled transportation and accumulation of filled bags between bag fillers, conditioners, sealers, and palletizing systems. These conveyors offer efficient, low-maintenance performance for a wide variety of bagged materials. The BSB design features a continuous belt supported by a steel bed for reliable, quiet operation, while the BOR utilizes rollers beneath the belt to reduce friction and power requirements—ideal for longer runs or higher loads. Both configurations support optional guides, diverters, switches, guardrails, and chutes to meet precise handling needs.

Why Choose Us

Industrial Kinetics’ BSB and BOR Conveyors deliver reliable performance, flexibility, and long service life for industrial bag-handling applications. Built to CEMA standards and engineered with heavy-duty steel framing, these conveyors provide efficient transport with minimal maintenance. The BOR design minimizes belt drag and energy use on long runs, while the BSB model provides quiet, uniform movement for shorter sections or accumulation zones. Every system is supported by Industrial Kinetics’ comprehensive engineering, fabrication, and integration expertise, ensuring seamless operation within your production line.

System Integration

The Belt on Slider Bed and Belt on Roller Conveyors are designed for seamless integration within Industrial Kinetics’ bag-handling systems, including conditioners, flatteners, and palletizers. Modular frame designs and standardized widths allow for consistent alignment with other conveyors. With optional diverters, accumulation logic, and control interfaces, the BSB and BOR units can function as standalone conveyors or integral components of an automated bagging and palletizing line.

What industries typically use these systems:

01

Feed & Seed – Transfers and accumulates filled bags between filler and palletizer.

02

Food & Ingredients – Moves paper, plastic, or polywoven bags between conditioning and sealing.

03

Chemicals & Minerals – Transports and redirects granular or powdered bags for automated handling.

04

Building Materials – Handles heavy bags of cement, lime, and gypsum for pallet preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between Belt on Slider Bed (BSB) and Belt on Roller (BOR)?

    The BSB uses a solid steel bed under the belt for smooth, quiet operation—ideal for short conveying or accumulation. The BOR uses rollers under the belt, reducing friction and energy consumption on longer or higher-load applications.

  • Can these conveyors handle heavy-duty bag applications?

    Yes. Both BSB and BOR conveyors are rated for continuous-duty service and can handle bag weights up to 100 lb.

  • Are the conveyors adjustable for speed?

    Yes. They can be equipped with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for adjustable belt speed, typically ranging from 30–100 FPM.

  • Can guide rails or chutes be added?

    Yes. Both models support adjustable side guides, diverters, and chutes for controlled bag movement and product positioning.

  • Are stainless-steel versions available?

    Yes. Stainless-steel construction is available for washdown environments.

  • What maintenance is required?

    Routine maintenance includes checking belt tension and tracking, lubricating bearings, and inspecting rollers or slider beds for wear.

  • How do these conveyors integrate with other Industrial Kinetics systems?

    They interface directly with IK bag conditioners, flatteners, and accumulation conveyors via standardized widths and PLC-ready control connections.

  • Are incline or decline configurations available?

    Yes. Both BSB and BOR conveyors can be configured for inclined, declined, or horizontal transport depending on your layout requirements.
