Jabucon conveyors have an all stainless body with the drive section protected by a waterproof cover, so the body can be rinsed down to wash off fouling from cargo. The electrics conform to IP65. The series suits food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, healthcare, agriculture and fish industries where hygiene standards are paramount.

Light duty belt conveyors explained
What light duty covers
Light duty is the small end of unit load handling: poly bags, packets, pouches, totes, small cartons and the irregular items that do not sit properly on rollers. Frames are compact and the drives are small, so these conveyors fit between machines and inside cells rather than running the length of a building. Where product is heavier or the run is longer, that is medium duty belt conveyors territory.
01
The two ranges we supply
Belcon Mini is the aluminium series, built compact and easy to carry, and is used for transfers between processes, as a feeder on an assembly line, or as the conveyor attached to a machine. The guideline transfer capacity is 10 kg per unit. Jabucon is the stainless series, with an all stainless body and the drive section behind a waterproof cover, so the conveyor can be rinsed down rather than wiped over.
02
Belt widths, lengths and speeds
Belt widths run from 80 mm to 500 mm depending on the model and the belt type, and lengths from 1,000 mm to 6,000 mm. Constant speed units run from 2.5 up to 15.6 m/min, and variable speed units start as low as 1.3 m/min, which matters when the conveyor is feeding an operator or a machine that sets the pace rather than the other way round. Load capacity on the stainless series is 15 kg or 22 kg depending on model and length.
03
Belt surfaces and product types
PU and PVC cover general handling. Food-grade belting suits production areas, anti-static belting protects electronics, and high-grip, low-friction, brush and modular surfaces are chosen depending on whether product needs to be held, allowed to slip, or cleaned as it travels. Bags and pouches are the awkward case, because the belt surface has to hold them steady without gripping so hard that the pack distorts.
04
Gapping, metering and accumulation
Metering belts with encoder feedback create consistent gaps for scanning, print and apply labelling and sortation, which is what downstream equipment needs when it is reading or applying to one pack at a time. Collapsible stops and low-pressure accumulation zones hold product back without crushing packs, so flow can be buffered rather than stopped.
05
Inclines, declines and curves
Cleated belt and knife edge models handle slopes and tight transfers, and curved belt models turn product through 90 degrees on one belt instead of handing it between two straights. Both ranges include guided types with a belt guide that stops the belt wandering, which is the failure that causes most tracking call-outs on small conveyors.
06
Hygiene and washdown
The stainless series is 304 grade as standard with IP65 rated electrics, and a 120 W brushless DC motor is available on request. It is specified for food, agriculture, marine products and chemicals, along with pharmaceutical and healthcare work, where the conveyor has to be cleaned to the same standard as the equipment around it. Knife edge, troughing, cleated and curved models are all available in the stainless build.
Where light duty belt conveyors sit in a line
These are rarely the whole system. They feed and are fed by other equipment, so width, height and speed have to match at every transfer. Where a line needs to change direction over a longer run, corner conveyors do that at scale. LVP Automation designs, builds and supports these conveyors from Finglas, Dublin 11, working with manufacturers across Ireland as part of our wider automation services.

Where Light Duty Belt Conveyors Excel
E-commerce Gapping & Metering
Create precise gaps for scanning, print/apply and sortation. Encoder control maintains spacing at speed for downstream accuracy.
Gentle Transfer & Mixed Products
Move bags, pouches and odd shapes without jams. Belt and guide selection protects packaging while keeping throughput steady.
Hygienic & Clean Operations
Food-grade stainless options with quick-release belts and easy-clean geometry keep hygiene high and changeovers quick.
FAQs about Light Duty Belt Conveyors
Quick answers on loads, belts, speeds, layouts, hygiene and integration.
What loads are suitable for light-duty belts?
Lightweight to medium items like poly bags, packets, small cartons and totes. We size frames, rollers and motors to your weights.
Can these conveyors run inclines/declines?
Yes—belt surface and nose/cleat options are chosen to maintain grip and product stability on slopes.
Do you support high-speed gapping?
Absolutely—metering belts with encoder feedback create consistent gaps for scanning, labelling and sorters.
What belt materials are available?
PU/PVC food-grade, low-friction, high-grip, anti-static (ESD), brush and modular variants—matched to product and environment.
How easy is belt replacement?
Quick-release tensioning and accessible tracking points reduce downtime for cleaning and changeovers.
Are stainless steel options available?
Yes—stainless frames and components for food and hygienic environments; painted steel for general industry.
Can we integrate sensors and printers?
Yes—add photoeyes, encoders and mounts for TIJ/CIJ/TTO and print & apply, plus reject mechanisms and diverters.
What speeds can we achieve?
From slow transit to high-speed induction; we set motor/gear ratios and VFDs to your target metres per minute.
How do you handle product singulation or accumulation?
Metering belts, collapsible stops and low-pressure accumulation zones manage flow without damaging packs.
Do you supply guards and safety systems?
Yes—CE-compliant guarding, e-stops and safety interlocks are included to suit your risk assessment.
