In recent years, industrial plants have accelerated the replacement of metal roller conveyors with plastic modular systems. The reason is clear: greater safety, less maintenance, and a significant reduction in operating costs.
What problems do traditional roller conveyors bring with them?
Roller conveyors include multiple wear points—bearings, chains, lubricants, and pulleys—that require constant maintenance and pose potential workplace safety risks. Their cleaning is also complex, especially in food environments where the presence of oils and residues can be critical.
What advantages do plastic modular belts offer compared to rollers?
Plastic modular belts provide a cleaner, quieter, and lighter alternative. They require no lubrication, support high loads, and allow continuous cleaning thanks to their detachable design. This results in fewer maintenance stops and a longer service life for the conveying system.
How does this transition impact productivity?
The result is a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable environment. In sectors such as logistics, automotive, or bottling—where production uptime is critical—this technological evolution has delivered a substantial improvement in productivity.
