Plastic Modular Belting – Siegling Prolink

Plastic Modular Belting

Siegling Prolink

Because of their construction conventional conveyor belts are not suitable for certain applications. Siegling Prolink plastic modular belts are an excellent solution in these cases: The material is rot-resistant, durable and physiologically safe (all standard materials used are FDA compliant). As a rule cleaning the belts is simple

Every belt's a specialist

The Siegling Prolink system consists of ten series functionally designed for diverse conveying and processing tasks. Inserted connecting rods join the individual modules together making them flexible and endless.

This means:

variable widths and length
simple repair
low stocks

Existing machinery can be converted to Siegling Prolink easily. Apart from the standard colours, any colour is available on request.

High quality materials

By using different materials the characteristics of the various modular types are more specialised. With this variability Siegling Prolink fulfils all practical requirements: In conveying, positioning, washing, drying, freezing...
