The Sicon belt manufactured by Contitech is a conveyor belt capable of negotiating small-radius curves.
This renders transfer points superfluous. The belt is closed from the feeding point to the discharge point. On the return side the belt is closed as well to help minimize dust and spillage problems. The distinctive feature the system is that it folds to form a loop. The ends of the belt have profiles with steel cords vulcanized in. These assist in keeping the belt on track by means of guide and support rollers. The belt’s working stress is borne by steel cords. The central section of the belt, which supports the weight of the material conveyed, is made of ultra-elastic rubber. In this system, the steel cords are arranged in a vertical axis on top of one another. This ensures that they retain the same radius even in curves of up to 180 degree. Advantages of the system include high inclination transport up to 35 degree through 180° curves with a radius smaller than 1 metre no spillage and dust emission, as well as protection of sensitive material against environmental influences. The two-way conveyor system has relatively small space requirements and offers several feeding and discharging options. The Sicon belt will be part of ContiTech’s participation at bauma 2010 in hall B2 at booth 303/400.
