Intralox will debut its latest conveyance breakthrough to the Australian packaging industry with the latest innovation, the Series S2100 Zero Tangent Radius flat top belt, on display.

Intralox is the first company to partner with equipment manufacturers to allow them to design and fabricate zero-tangent curve conveyors.

The Series 2100 Flat Top Zero Tangent Radius belt is designed specifically for curved conveyance, free of straight sections, maximising all available space. The S2100 features a smooth, closed-top surface that can handle a variety of package sizes, types, and configurations, including delicate products (such as packages immediately exiting a shrink wrapper).

The new belt is able to maintain product orientation and spacing through its curves and its compact design provides flexibility, simplifying layout design and conveyor installation.
