What Is A Ladder-Flex Spreader Conveyor?

A Ladder-Flex spreader conveyor is a custom designed solution for product transport and positioning. They are able to spread or converge products while they are moving on a conveyor belt which is extremely beneficial for businesses who produce products such as food and confectionery.

In this blog post, we at Wire Belt Company of America will explore the Ladder-Flex spreader conveyor in more detail.

Confectionary Industry Uses

Our Ladder-Flex spreader conveyor was specifically designed for the confectionary industry as it helps to spread the products and stop them from sticking together during enrobing. After this, the products may need to be converged to a narrower width before cooling or packaging can begin, this is also something that this conveyor excels in. Utilizing a Ladder-Flex spreader conveyor for this entire process means that there is no need for a change of belt, thus streamlining the whole operation.

How Does The Spreading & Converging Work?

This conveyor is able to spread and converge using the narrow width strands of its single space stainless steel belting, allowing products to be positioned evenly on each side of the center of the conveyor. We also offer a range of other configurations to fit multiple requirements. For example, chains can be arranged into individual lanes to spread or converge products from specific infeed positions.
