General

 

The Slip Form belt conveyor is an essential part of many conveying and storage systems dealing with grains, seeds and many other granular or pelletised products. Easily maintained due to their simple construction and low power requirement, Slip Form Belt Conveyors are ideal as a cost effective in-plant conveying solution, with many applications in manufacturing and processing industries.

 

Specification

 

This well-established design comprises a one piece casing, precision formed from galvanised sheet, with integral belt return rollers. The standard slip form conveyor belt is a multi-ply synthetic fibre construction with a PVG top cover running in the formed steel trough. Product can be discharged at fixed or variable intermediate positions along the conveyor length using the wide range of tripper carriage options available.

 

Typical Applications

 

Designed for low to medium capacity conveying of a wide range of materials. The Guttridge Slip form belt conveyor is ideally suited to medium duty commercial and industrial applications.
