Eye-Flex, also known in the industry as an EyeLink conveyor belt, stands out due to its unique composition and versatility with various applications. Here’s a closer look at what makes Eye-Flex conveyor belts a preferred choice as an industry standard:
1. EyeLink Wires: Eye-Flex conveyor belts are primarily composed of EyeLink wires. These wires can vary in diameter and length based on specific application requirements. The flexibility in the wire dimensions allows customization to meet different operational needs.
2. Under Welded Wires: The EyeLink wires are assembled into a module using under welded wires. Depending on the process requirements, multiple under welded wires can be used to enhance the belt’s strength. This modular design ensures that the belt can withstand demanding operational conditions.
3. Reinforcing Plates: Eye-Flex conveyor belts also incorporate numerous reinforcing plates of varying heights and thicknesses. Additional reinforcing plates are integrated into the belt design to provide extra strength, tailored to the application’s demands. This feature is crucial for applications requiring robust and durable conveyor belt solutions.
As stated earlier, Eye-Flex conveyor belts are known for their adaptability, offering numerous configuration options to suit a wide range of applications. Here are just some of the customizable features:
1. Flights: Flights are essential for carrying products through inclines and declines. Eye-Flex belts can be equipped with various types of flights, including scoop and flat flights which are manufactured from sheet metal of various thicknesses. These can be added to the belt configuration based on process needs. Additionally, flights can be directly integrated into the EyeLink strands by precision bending, ensuring the belt perfectly fits your product’s requirements.
2. Side Guards: To prevent products from falling off the edge of the belt, side guards can be added. They are also useful for creating specific rows on the conveyor belt, ensuring that products travel in designated rows along the belt’s length. This feature is particularly beneficial for organized and efficient product handling. The height and thickness of the side guards is very versatile depending on the application requirements.
3. Chain Edges: For applications requiring chain-driven belts, roller chain edges can be incorporated. Roller chain edges can help to limit debris build up in applications that tend to build up around traditional sprockets, due to the fact that the belt is driven from the outside edge of the belt and typically does not come into contact with the product. Alternatively, the Eye-Flex belts can be positively driven using sprockets, providing flexibility in the drive mechanism based on application needs.
Eye-Flex conveyor belts are ideally suited for linear freezer applications and other demanding environments where belt strength and longevity are critical. Their robust construction and versatile design options make them a reliable choice for industries requiring durable and adaptable conveyor belt solutions.
