Description

When it comes to separating or merging products, the Märtens spreader belt comes into play. The maximum spread range is 30%. This allows product spacing to be increased or decreased even during transport. One example is the separation of protein bars before they are coated in chocolate, which prevents the products from sticking together. This applies even to the smallest items or bulk goods. Another advantage of the spreading belts is that no changeover is necessary when switching products.

Our spreading belts are made of a transversely elastic fabric with a silicone coating. Our spreading belt LW is a new material innovation: it requires less force. This makes belt installation much easier and also reduces downtime when changing belts.

These show the reduction of product spacing and the increase in product spacing in the longitudinal and transverse directions during transport. Data sheets, assembly instructions and more are also available here as handy PDF downloads.
