Design Safety Guidelines

Most plastic products will lose their mechanical properties if exposed to the sun or ultra violet beams, which can lead to chain or belt breakage. This can also happen if the products are exposed to strong chemicals. Generally, this is a problem with pH values lower than 4.5 or higher than 9.

Always make sure that there is enough space in the conveyor frame to allow chains and belts to retract or expand when exposed to temperature variations.

Never exceed the maximum or minimum temperatures given by Ammeraal Beltech Modular.
Note: The different materials have different temperature limits.

Care should be taken with high chain/belt speeds where friction can lead to heating and subsequently melting of chain/belt as well as wearstrips. Do not exceed speeds recommended by Ammeraal Beltech Modular.

Use only original Ammeraal Beltech Modular sprockets with Ammeraal Beltech Modular belts and chains.

When constructing conveyors, it is important always to include sufficient cover around the moving parts to prevent fingers and clothing from being caught in the machinery. Ammeraal Beltech Modular can also supply safety chains and side flexing belts which leave minimal gaps when turning through curves making them incredibly safe.
