| Belt Type |
|
F
|
Fabric Belts are the economical choice for most applications. Standard fabric belts are PVC with a center V-Guide for tracking and a cross-rigid monofilament weave. Standard cleats are 1.5 inches high welded on either 6- or 16-inch centers. |
|
M
|
Plastic Modular Belts are a performance and maintenance upgrade. Modular Belts are sprocket-driven for positive drive and tracking. They can be easily replaced or repaired by pulling pins and removing the damaged belt section(s). |
| Frame Type |
|
A
|
Straight Frame Models: Straight Frame Summit Plastek Conveyors handle horizontal or incline conveying to grinders, totes, or to the next workstation. They also serve for under-press applications, box transfer, and scrap removal. An optional built-in chute can be ordered to collect parts or scrap for transport. Standard belts can be used for 10-degree inclines. High friction or grip-top belts work for slopes up to 30 degrees. For higher angles, select cleated belts. |
|
B
|
Gooseneck Models: Summit Plastek Gooseneck Conveyors are designed to receive parts that discharge underneath machinery and convey them to totes or other conveyors. The standard belts are PVC with 1.5-inch cleats and polypropylene belts with 2-inch cleats, both on 16-inch centers. The incline on these conveyors ranges from 25º to 50º. Infeed flaps to contain product are standard. |
|
C
|
Z-Shape Models:Summit Plastek Z-Shape Conveyors combine the capabilities of horizontal and incline conveyors in a single unit. They can collect parts from underneath machinery and convey them up to totes or other conveyors. The standard fabric belt provided for this model is PVC with 1.5-inch high cleats on 16-inch centers. The standard polypropylene belt provided has 2-inch cleats on 16-inch centers. Incline angle is adjustable from 25º to 50º. Infeed flaps to contain product are standard. |
|
D
|
Noseover Models: Summit Plastek Noseover Conveyors typically receive parts from an overhead robot and lower them to an operator or a tote, but they are also used to elevate parts to totes or grinders. These conveyors should be ordered with high-friction, griptop, or cleated belts depending on the part and the incline. The incline angle is adjustable from 15º to 50º. |
|
E
|
Elevator Models: Summit Plastek Elevator Conveyors receive small parts from production operations and convey them into totes or feeder bowls. These sturdy conveyors offer incline adjustment from 15º to 60º. The standard fabric belt is PVC with 1-inch high cleats on 6-inch centers. Higher cleats are recommended for steep inclines. Infeed hoppers and discharge chutes come as standard equipment. |

Summit Plastek Conveyors are available for quick delivery in five standard widths: 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 inches. Other widths are available on special request from 6 to 36 inches in 2-inch
increments. Frame types B, C, and cleated D come in belt widths up to 18 inches. Belt width W is the distance between side guards. Standard side guards overhang the belt by .75 inch per side to provide a protected belt edge. |

Because Summit Plastek Conveyors come with angle adjustments, sizing is specified by indicating the X, Y, and Z dimensions (rounded to the nearest inch) shown in the conveyor diagrams. When ordering, specify the required X dimension or use the formulas given below in the table to estimate the X dimension from your required A and B dimensions.
