System information
System overview
FlexLink's newly developed stainless steel conveyor is
designed to fit into demanding primary and secondary
packaging applications. It addresses important aspects
of today's packing processes, such as being easy to
clean, smooth handling of products, safe for operators,
robust design, long life, and easy to maintain with a low
cost of ownership.
The modularized and standardized design ensures fast
set up, and facilitates rapid future extensions and
changes.
System information 1
No open threads No flat surfaces for better drainage
Due to the difficulties of keeping open threads clean, all In wash-down environments, it is important to have
threads in the conveyor are covered from the top down to proper drainage of water and other liquids. The WLX
the floor. design has been optimized in this regard by selecting dif-
ferent manufacturing processes to create shapes that
enable efficient drainage. This will also have an important
impact on its ability to be cleaned in dry environments in
both primary and secondary packaging lines.

Conveyor Beams - Introduction
Components such as plain bends, etc., cannot be
placed too close to an End drive unit. Therefore, the min-
imum permissible length for conveyor beam sections
when connecting to an End drive unit is 844 mm. This
ensures a sufficient amount of return belt tension directly
after the drive sprocket to avoid slack close to the
sprocket wheel. The return belt hanging between the first
two belt guides provides this belt tension (called back
tension).
Connecting brackets have to be ordered separately
when joining End drives, idler ends, conveyor beams, etc.
When joining two conveyor beams, a beam spacer kit
must be ordered separately.

In order to facilitate cleaning, the top belt can be lifted up B
and the outer slide rails can be folded back. Top
For hygiene reasons, the WLX system is based on an of
belt
easy-to-clean, free hanging return belt.
Elongation of the belt due to load is normally evenly
distributed on the return side and along the whole con-
veyor, and placement of the belt guides for the return belt
is critically important for proper conveyor system perfor-
mance. Conveyor beams can be ordered from 142 mm
up to 3000 mm and are always pre-engineered and con-
figured according to the rules that must be followed.
Conveyor beams are normally not symmetrical, which
is why they have an upstream and downstream end. An WL
arrow label on the conveyor beam side indicates the 374X
appropriate top belt travel direction to ensure correct Conveyor width A 374 mm
