Introduction of Mat Top Conveyor Belt

Mat top conveyor belt is also namely plastic modular belt. It’s different from traditional PVC conveyor belt. It is assembled by a series of plastic modules. Firstly, interleave the modules. Then connect them in series with a pin. Plastic mattop conveyor belts are in various forms. Moreover, the assembly is flexible and easy to replace. It has various forms such as flush grid, flat, ribs, with balls & cleat & sidewall, anti-slip and curved belt.

(1) The flat type conveyor modular belt: The surface is smooth and closed. It is suitable for general conveying without special surface requirements. The surface can be perforated.

(2) Flush grid type mattop chain: grid surface.  Open-hole design on the surface. Thus it can provide good air permeability and drainage performance. Besides, it can reduce the contact area between the product and the modular belt.

(3) Anti-slip mat top conveyor belt: Rubber non-slip surface design. Increase the surface friction of the conveyor modular belt. At the same time, it can replace the rubber strip. So it greatly improve the safety performance of the mattop conveyor belt. Or it is the belt with texture surface. Moreover, the anti-slip belt is also suitable for small angle incline / downline conveying.

(4) Modular belt with ball: It’s very suitable for use in tire rubber transportation and logistics sorting systems. For conveying products, it can reduce friction and change direction.

(5) Conveyor modular belt with cleat and sidewall: Play a role in preventing falling when transporting products. For example, For example, when applied to food elevators, cleat and sidewall can ensure to convey food accurately and efficiently. At the same time, it maintains the balance and stability of the food during the climbing and conveying.

How to use the mattop conveyor chain rightly?

The distinction of plastic conveyor modular belt mainly focuses on its pitch. The pitch is critical. If conveying relatively large products and there is no high requirement for conveying, it is recommended to use a mat top conveyor belt with a large pitch. Because pitch is large, the mattop conveyor belt will exert a better tensile strength function.

When using a plastic modular belt, pay attention to the sprocket installation. Firstly, installation method must base on the weight of the conveyed product. In other words, the lighter the product, the fewer sprockets are needed. Conversely, the heavier the product, the more sprockets to need. The common installation distance of conveyor modular belt sprocket is generally 10~15cm.

Comparison between modular chain conveyor and other conveyors

When it needs to customize the conveyor equipment, we are not sure which one to choose. At this time, we must know their differences firstly.

1. 1. Mattop conveyor vs tranditional belt conveyor

Conveyor modular is a special belt conveyor. The main difference is the conveyor belt and drive method. Traditional conveyor machine usually uses the PVC or PU belt. Its conveying principle is that the drive roller make the belt to move. But the former mainly uses plastic modular chain (such as POM, PP or PE belt). Besides, the principle is that the sprocket drive the mattop conveyor chain to move. In addition, the application is also different. The latter is mainly suitable for the transportation of general products or for logistics. However, the mat top conveyor has wide application in food and meat industries. Especially it can be used in humid or watery occasions.

2. Mat top conveyor vs tabletop conveyor

Generally speaking, both of them belong to the conveyor modular. Moreover, their conveying principles are same. But the main difference lies in the conveyor belts. Table top chain conveyor usually uses slat or plate chain as belt. And its main application is in beverage and canning industry. However, the mattop conveyor usually plastic modules as belt. Its main applications are vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood and baking industy. Moreover, it also has shapes and can be made to incline and spiral conveyors.

3. Mat top conveyor vs flexlink conveyor

Firstly, their structure and working principle are similar. But compared to conveyor modular, plastic chain conveyor has smaller turning radius. So the latter can have more complex shapes. At the same time, it occupies a smaller plant area. Additionally, the width of flat top chain conveyor is usually narrower. Thus, it especially suitable for the delivery of medicines and cosmetics.

FAQ

Q1: How to disassemble the plastic modular conveyor belt?
A1: There are plugs on both sides of the mattop conveyor chain. Just take it out. Then you can take out the pin. So the conveyor modular belt will disintegrate.

Q2: What is the pitch of the modular conveyor belt?
A2: It’s the center distance of 2 holes on module end face. The pitch determines the smoothness of conveyor modular. At the same time, it also determines the tooth pitch of the matching sprocket. Generally speaking, the smaller the pitch, the more stable the conveying. The greater the pitch, the greater the angle when turning.

Q3: How to clean the mat top conveyor belt correctly?
A3: The main material of the plastic modular belt is POM and PP. The surface of the POM mattop conveyor chain is relatively hard. If there is a lot of oil, you can wipe it with hard objects such as canvas. On the contrary, the surface of PP conveyor modular chain is relatively soft, so don’t wipe it with hard things when cleaning. PP chain has the function of acid and alkali resistance.

Q4: Can we buy the modular conveyor components individually?
A4: Sure. Customer can only order accessories for assembly, such as the plastic modular belt, sprocket, wear strips, guide parts, etc.

Q5: How to install the modular chain conveyor belt?

A5: Follow the steps below to install the mattop chain:

(1) Firstly confirm the length of the conveyor modular. Then choose the length of the mat top conveyor belt accordingly. Generally, the length of the plastic chain is twice the length of the mattop conveyor. And increase a certain margin. So the mat top chain will be smooth during transmission.

(2) In the butt joint part of the modular conveyor chain, the pin must be fixed well. There must be no pins on the outside. Otherwise, it will cause the mattop chain to jam or break during the conveying process.

(3) After finish installation of mattop conveyor chain, gently push it back and forth several times by hand. You can start the motor only after you feel it runs smoothly.
