Modular Plastic Belt Curves

Overview

Zero tangent modular plastic belt curves are powered conveyor curve sections designed so the belt path does not require straight tangent sections before and after the curve. This enables tighter conveyor layouts while maintaining controlled product flow for bags, cases, and totes through direction changes.



Historically, straight tangent requirements were common on PVC belt curve styles, and earlier modular plastic belt and tabletop chain curve products typically required tangents. The zero tangent configuration eliminates that requirement to reduce overall footprint and simplify tight system routing.

Why Choose Us

Our zero tangent modular plastic belt curves are engineered using proven CEMA design practices and validated standard assemblies. Precision fabrication, premium drive components, and modular construction result in predictable performance, long service life, and ease of maintenance.



Each curve is designed to integrate seamlessly into larger conveyor systems while maintaining consistent product flow and minimizing operational disruptions.

System Integration

Zero tangent modular plastic belt curves integrate with straight modular belt conveyors, transfers, accumulation systems, and downstream automation. Tangential infeed and discharge geometry simplifies layout design and supports smooth system expansion.


These environments benefit from controlled directional changes without compromising product stability.
