Dorner has introduced FlexMove Helical Plain Bend Conveyors for those applications that require conveyor flexibility, but with a small footprint to save floor space.
The conveyors provide unlimited configurations, including flat to flat; flat to incline or incline to flat; or incline to incline. These configurations, which also include inclines and declines through corners and straights, provide flexibility for applications involving product buffering, especially in corners. The conveyors also come with a patented side roller chain to reduce corner friction.
