Transport Conveyor
The transport conveyor is designed to transport baggage throughout the terminal smoothly and efficiently. It is designed to handle product horizontally and at any degree of incline / decline up to a maximum 18° angle where elevation changes are required.
General transport conveyor is made up of several different modules bolted together to form a single conveyor.
Whilst the design of the conveyor modules has been standardised, it allows for many different configurations of length, top of belt height and incline / decline angle.
Low side panel height sections are also available to suit loading and unloading conveyor as well as collector conveyor configuration.

Key Features
- End rollers with profiled finger guards to eliminate trap points for personnel and product.
- Internal bearings are fitted to head, tail and take-up rollers for ease of maintenance and quick changeover.
- Final drive between the gearbox and drive pulley is via a direct shaft mounted gearmotor.
- Cut outs are provided in the conveyor frame to allow for rollers to be removed from the side.
- Screw type belt take-up design to allow adjustment from one side.
- Can be floor mounted to as low as 300 mm top of belt.
Parts of Transport Conveyors
- Head / Tail Module: Is used at both ends of the conveyor and houses the end rollers.
- Drive Unit: Accommodates the motor gearbox and provides the drive and take-up of the conveyor belt.
- Intermediate Section: Standard sections are 2200 mm and 1100 mm long however, special length sections are made to suit the required conveyor length.
- Breakover or Decline: Used when a change to an incline is required and provides a smooth transition due to the large 3000 m radius.
Technical Specifications
- Intermediate Side Frames: The conveyor frame is typically 495 mm H x 40 mm W channel construction formed from 3 mm thick powder coated mild steel.
- Slider Beds: The slider bed is constructed from 3 mm galvabond mild steel set between the channel frames and rigidly braced with galvabond mild steel cross braces.
- Drive Frame: 5 mm thick mild steel formed channel 290 mm deep with 40 mm flanges.
- Breakover: A heavy duty return roller is used at the change of belt direction that is 60 mm in diameter with 5 mm nominal wall thickness mild steel tubing.
- Belting: To suit individual projects. Typically smooth top belting is used on collector conveyors.
