Plastic Modular Belt Conveyors

Ideal for Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Packaging applications

Australis Engineering have designed and manufactured literally hundreds of plastic modular belt conveyors to suit a range of applications and an enormous range of different product types. Plastic Modular Belts are used in a wide range of applications such as food handling, meat and poultry, bakery goods, canning, soft drinks, juices, wine and spirit production. Modular belt conveyors are also commonly used for pharmaceutical products such as glass vials for therapeutic drugs and plasma packs. We can design a conveyor to suit any brand of modular plastic belt available on the market and will source the belt to suit any customer requirement.

We have a strong- track record in supplying to the food and pharmaceutical/ health sectors and as a result our conveyors can be built to comply with HACCP Standards for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industries. Where appropriate, this includes the use of Food Grade Belts used in handling raw meat or poultry products.

In addition to designing and manufacturing our own modular belt conveyors, Australis have strong experience in refurbishing and replacing existing belts and shafts in large-scale bottle warmers and pasteurisers.

Plastic Modular Belt Applications

We offer a range of Plastic Modular Belt Conveyors:

• Standard conveyors in straight run or curved, side flexing units
• Accumulation tables
• Within bottle warmers and pasteurisers
• Inclined and goose neck cleated conveyors
• Cap elevators
• Aerosol can conveyors
• Wire mesh belt conveyors
• Magnetic conveyors

Stainless Steel, Washdown and Food Grade Modular Belt Conveyors

All of our Modular Belt Conveyors can be manufactured in stainless steel, including 316 stainless steel to meet stringent food handling and washdown applications.  Our conveyor designs can be easily modified to comply with HACCP Standards for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industries. Where appropriate, this includes the use of Food Grade Belts used in handling raw meat, seafood or poultry products. Motors, drives, PLC’s and controls solutions can also be implemented to meet washdown requirements.

Modular Belt Types

We all know that one of the major costs associated with modular belt conveyors is the cost of the belt itself. We can reduce the investment cost by offering non-proprietary brands of modular belt. This may result in strong savings over the life of the conveyor as modular belt will periodically need replacement. This means we can source more cost effective solutions that still retain outstanding reliability and excellent performance whilst keeping your investment costs manageable.

Of course if you preference is for the ‘brand’ name modular belts from any of the major suppliers, we have a long-standing relationships with these suppliers and can provide the brand names at competitive rates.
