Slider bed conveyor replacement belts

Slider bed conveyor belts move along a flat surface (metal slider bed) instead of idlers or chains. Slider bed configurations absorb impacts from falling materials, support the entire belt, and reduce belt wear and tear through decreased interaction with moving parts. Slider beds are also more cost-effective than flat idler and roller chain conveyors due to their simple metal bed design.

Slider bed industries and applications

Slider bed belt conveyors are used in industries where precision conveyance is key, such as assembly line operations and packaging.

In the recycling industry, slider bed belt conveyors facilitate the material recovery of paper, cardboard, glass, and other recyclables.

Other industries that utilize slider bed belt conveyors include aerospace, food processing, and automotive.

What are slider bed belts made of?

Slider bed belts are fashioned from PVC, rubber, or specialized compounds. They can be customized for abrasion resistance, heat resistance, food-grade applications, and more. Slider conveyor belts can be tailored to meet the demands of virtually any material handling situation.
