New London SteelTrak™ Hinged Steel Belt Conveyors

New London Engineering’s SteelTrak™ Hinged Steel Belt Conveyors are used to convey virtually any type of metal scrap. These rugged, heavy-duty conveyors are designed for long-term, low-maintenance operations in industrial, scrap, steel chip, and fastener applications. They are ideally suited for carrying hot, oily parts from punch presses, forging machines, etc. to drums or hoppers. Various apron, sidewing, siderail, and frame designs are available.

Plus, NLE’s TruTrak flanged rollers eliminate the side-to-side movement of the belt within the belt track. Because the belt cannot sway off it’s track, it can’t rub against the conveyor’s frame, virtually eliminating potential wear to the conveyor frame, and the belt axles, sidewings, and cotter pins. TruTrak’s features also are the perfect choice in applications where prevention of downtime is a priority.
