With the acquisition of the leading US manufacturer of belt curves, Portec, Interroll had already expanded its global portfolio in the area of highly efficient belt curves and other conveyor solutions back in 2013. Now, the company will begin manufacturing and marketing this reliable and robust solution, which has already been installed over 80,000 times, in Europe as well.
The Interroll Portec belt curve is designed to offer high performance and trouble-free operation in various applications. They can be used virtually anywhere including handling of small parcels in the CEP sector, through to baggage handling at airports, in DC’s, courier/ postal services and areas of e-commerce.
Available in various widths, angles and handling capacities they can be operated at temperatures ranging from -15 °C to +55 °C.
Belt slippage and consequently overheating of the belt is often a problem associated with conventional friction driven belt curves, which results in a high degree of wear due to the high belt tension and pulleys often have a shorter service life.
The advantages that Interroll Portec belt curves offer are quite obvious. Total costs of ownership (TCO) are low and the units are available all over the world manufactured to the same high quality standards. The positive drive and low belt tension ensures maximum service life and there is no belt slippage, even at overload. These belt curves are extremely reliable and ideally suited for continuous operation. Quick and easy maintenance helps to reduce machine stoppages and thanks to the mechanical jointed belt, in combination with the positive drive, a belt can now be changed in only 30 minutes.
Dr. Ralf Garlichs, Executive Vice President Products & Technology at Interroll Group, is convinced: “The Interroll Portec belt conveyor solutions for heavy and medium unit loads are technologically superior. By manufacturing and marketing them in Europe, we will now be able to supply our customers with this proven solution in the region even more quickly in the future.”
