Belcon Mini Functions/Applications
Functions
① More robust environmental features
Belcon Mini delivers more robust energy-saving and environmental features by using a high-efficiency motor and RoHS-compliant parts.
- High-efficiency brushless motor
-
Belcon Mini uses a brushless motor with 25% lower power consumption than gearbox-equipped models (according to an Okura comparison).
- RoHS-compliant parts
-
All parts comply with the RoHS Directive for greater environmental friendliness.
- Large-diameter stainless steel pulleys
-
Belcon Mini uses large-diameter snub and takeup pulleys to lower the belt's bending resistance and save energy.
② Standard high-quality, multifunctional belt
Belcon Mini uses multifunctional belts that are ideal for transporting small objects, allowing a single system to accommodate a variety of products and transport conditions.
Whereas the typical belt that comes standard with a conveyor system only offers three functions, for example compatibility with food products and low-noise operation, the Belcon Mini III's multifunctional belt delivers eightfold functionality.
③ Simple maintenance
We gave shape to feedback indicating customers want simpler maintenance.
- Transparent cover for drive mechanism
-
A transparent cover lets you check for chain looseness and belt tension at a glance. There is no need to remove the cover when lubricating the drive mechanism, ensuring safety while keeping maintenance simple.
- Check belt tension at a glance
-
Graduations engraved on the transparent cover let you check belt tension at a glance.
- Easier adjustment of belt tracking
-
Graduated conveyor frames help you check the belt tracking position at a glance.
- Transparent cover for drive mechanism
-
Tracking adjustment can be performed from beside the end of the belt.
- Easy removal of end pulleys
-
Even when conveyors are placed in series (end to end), the end pulley can be removed upward.
④ More robust safety features
Belcon Mini features a safe design that is engineered to keep objects from becoming caught in rotating pulleys or the belt tracking area.
- More robust safety features at the end of and underneath the conveyor
-
Rotating pulleys fit inside the width of the belt.
The new design is engineered to keep objects from becoming caught from underneath the conveyor.
⑤ Double-grooved frame for easy mounting
In addition to allowing attachment of a variety of parts, the double-grooved design can accommodate M6 nuts (Type 1) anywhere on the side.
M6 nuts can be inserted anywhere on the side of the frame.
A variety of attachments such as guides and photoelectric switches can be mounted.
⑥ New slim-type models
The Belcon Mini series now includes new slim-type models whose drive units sit flush underneath the conveyor with no protruding parts. The design is extremely useful when mounting the conveyor on another device or machine.
