Modular belt elevators are used in demanding conditions. Unlike standard cleated belt elevators, this device has a high transportation capacity, even on narrow belts. The belts are moved by a leading mechanism, which excludes necessity for belt centering. This type of transporters is also used for index positioning. Its design allows for simple utilization and maintenance. Since the belt is made out of interconnected plastic segments, it is possible to replace the damaged segment without replacing the entire belt. The modular belt is resistant to wear and low friction, making it ideal for use in the food industry and those industries that operate on high temperatures with aggressive chemicals.
