Powered belt conveyors carry unit loads on a continuous belt, so mixed weights and sizes stay stable and fragile packaging is protected. Available level, mezzanine incline and decline, drum driven and waste, in PU, PVC, food-grade, anti-static, high-grip or low-friction belting, with variable speed and metering for print, vision and sortation. Designed, built and supported by LVP Automation in Dublin.
Level Belt conveyors are for the horizontal transportation of items and assembly line operations. They are available in lengths from 2m up to 30m in 0.5m increments.
Inclined belt conveyors are used to deliver packages or boxes from one floor to another and when fitted with a reversing control can operate in either direction. They can be used as stand alone units or as integrated elements of a conveyor system.
Quoting: Level Belt Conveyor
A powered belt conveyor carries unit loads on a continuous belt rather than on rollers, so the product is supported along its whole length instead of bridging gaps. That is what makes belt the right choice when loads vary in weight and size, or when they are fragile enough that a roller gap would mark or tip them.
Medium duty covers the everyday range in most warehouses and factories, from small totes up to heavier cartons. The frame and drive are sized to your maximum weights rather than to a catalogue figure, which is the part worth settling before anything else. Lighter products that do not need that frame are handled by light duty belt conveyors.
Level runs flat and is the general workhorse. Mezzanine handles incline and decline where product has to change height. Drum driven puts the motor inside the head drum for a cleaner, more compact profile. Waste is built for the harder duty of scrap and offcut removal. Which one you need follows from the layout, not the product.
The belt gives stable conveying across a mixed product range, from lightweight pouches through to heavier cartons, without the jams, tip-overs and scuffing that a mixed range causes on unsuitable handling. Controlled acceleration and deceleration, with a belt surface chosen for the product, is what protects fragile packaging, labels and seals.
PU and PVC cover general handling. Food-grade belting suits production areas, anti-static belting protects electronics, and high-grip or low-friction surfaces are chosen depending on whether product needs to be held or allowed to slip. The belt is matched to the product, the environment and the speed together, because changing one usually changes the right answer for the others.
Speeds run from slow inspection rates up to high-speed induction, with variable frequency drives setting metres per minute to match whatever the belt is feeding. Where the downstream equipment needs consistent spacing rather than consistent flow, encoder-driven metering belts create the gaps that print-and-apply, vision and sortation depend on.
Changing height is a belt problem before it is a layout problem. Belt compound is paired with cleats or nose-over geometry so product stays put on the slope, and the angle that will actually hold your product is a function of what the product is and how it is packaged. Where product is being loaded into a vehicle rather than moved between floors, vehicle loading conveyors cover that.
Mounts and I/O are provided for printers, barcode readers, checkweighers, metal detectors and rejecters, so inspection and coding equipment sits on the conveyor rather than beside it. Guarding, e-stops and interlocks are designed around nip points and transfers on a risk basis. Quick-release tensioning and tracking, accessible drives and standard parts are what keep downtime low once it is running.
A straight belt is rarely the whole system. It connects to whatever feeds it and whatever it feeds, and has to match their width, height and speed, so what happens at each transfer matters as much as the conveyor itself. Where a line has to change direction, corner conveyors carry product round the turn on one belt rather than transferring it between two straights.
Stainless and washdown builds are available for hygienic areas, with painted steel for general industry. 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 a layout needs proving before it is built, automation simulation covers how that is done.
Stable conveying for everything from lightweight pouches to heavier cartons—without jams, tip-overs or scuffing.
Controlled acceleration/deceleration and tailored belt surfaces protect fragile packaging, labels and seals.
Drop-in modules for inclines, declines, merges and 90° transfers; clean PLC/HMI handshakes with upstream/downstream equipment.
Quick answers on loads, belts, speeds, layouts, hygiene and integration.
Medium duty frames and drives suit everyday warehouse/factory loads—small totes up to heavier cartons. We size to your max weights.
