Turntable Conveyor Line Selection Guide: Cartridge / Belt / Chain Plate Comparison

Hello? Just entered the industry brother is not the "turning machine" three words confused? The material on the assembly line is stuck in the corner of the dead can not pass, the boss every day to urge the efficiency, you stared at a variety of conveyor models straight scratching your head--!Which one should I choose, cartridge, belt or chain plate?Don't panic! Today we will break it down in plain English, so you can make sure you can make a decision after reading it!


🎢 A cylinder turning machine: the assembly line of the "little prince of flexibility"

core principleIt is an upgraded version of the conveyor belt at the supermarket checkout counter, with a row of rollers "rubbing" the goods around. Old iron people usually choose it to save money and hassle, but here the head of the door can be quite a lot!

Applicable Scenarios::
✔️light heavyweight: Cartons, small household appliances, express parcels (single piece <50kg)
✔️Space Compact Production Line: Small angle turns (30°-90° most common)
✔️Quiet environment requirementsNoise <60dB, half quieter than chain plate machine.

Rollover warning::
✖️ Delivering fragile goods? Beware! Roller gaps can jam tofu crumb packages (pallets recommended)
✖️ Wet workshop? Plain carbon steel rollers rust to slag in minutes (have to pay extra for stainless steel)

A case of blood and tears: A food factory used a regular drum to deliver frozen goods, resulting in ice slush getting stuck in the crevices and causing a total line shutdown -Lesson: Antifreeze lubricants must be used in cold temperatures!


📦 Second, belt turners: the jack of all trades has a soft spot too

Don't let the name fool you.! It's not a straight belt with a hard bend, it's a straight belt with aFlexible edge + tapered rollersAchieve silky smooth steering (imagine the arc of a fluttering Frisbee).

the moment when the gods are sealed::
Granule/Powder Killer: Flour, plastic granules, medicinal powders (seamless belts against leakage of material)
Climber: 15° slopes are easy to get on (chain conveyor slips if it exceeds 10°)
Hygienically demanding: Food grade PU belts clean in one wipe (hospital pharmacy favourite)

Achilles' heel::
⚠️ Heavy weight crushing? Over 200kg, the belt will be cracked in minutes (Don't save it! Choose the 5mm thicker model)
⚠️ High temperature workshop? Ordinary rubber belts turn into "crisps" at 70°C (Heat-resistant model Teca 30% budget)

Industry Cold Knowledge: 90%'s belt turner runs off the road, all because of theThere's no difference between the inner and outer ring speeds.! The formula is stripped for you:
Difference in speed = (outer radius - inner radius) × rpm
Can't get it right? Go directly to the model with automatic guiding function (expensive but worry-free).


⛓️ III. Chain-plate turners: the "straight man of steel" for heavy industry

If you are transporting engines and metal castings all day long in your workshop, a chain conveyor is definitely the right choice.player who carries the torch--Steel plate spliced chain clicks and turns and looks solid!

superb performance::
🔥The King of Super Heavy Duty500kg per piece? (Automobile factories use it.)
🔥Resistance index MAXOil, high temperature, acid and alkali environments (steel plant 200 ℃ working conditions measured)
🔥Precision parking: Error ±2mm, essential for robotic assembly lines (5 times more accurate than belt machines)

caveat emptor::
💸 So expensive it hurts! 2-3 times more expensive than a belt conveyor for the same length (maintenance is even more scary)
🔊 Noise from 80dB! The equivalent of squatting at the curb every day and listening to the traffic (earplugs required).

counter-intuitive operation::
👉 The more you use the chain plate, the louder it gets?Don't be in a hurry to change chains!Check three points first:

  1. Is the chain tension too tight (standard sag 5-10cm)
  2. Whether the guide rail has not been jammed by the material
  3. Is the grease evaporating at high temperatures (reapply once a month)

📌Exclusive data: Industry research showsChoosing the wrong model leads to production stoppageIn the case of 63%, a cylinder was used to carry overweight goods, and 28% was a belt conveyor to deliver high temperature materials - theHave you been hit?


💡 Exclusive selection mindset: the boss can handle it even if he's stingy!

  1. "See the goods before you choose the horse."
        - Material size > 50cm?Direct pass cartridge(gap jamming until you crash)
        - Flow rate > 500 pieces per hour?Belt presses are carefully selected(Seams are prone to build-up)

  2. "The environment determines life and death."
        ▶️ Wet shop: cartridges > stainless steel, chainplates > chrome (don't save money on rust prevention!)
        ▶️ cleanroom.PU belts are riding high(Chainplates on the floor.)

  3. "Stealing from the big factory configurations."
        🚚 Logistics Warehouse: 90% SelectionConical drum machine(The king of value for money)
        🍫 Food Factory: 80% withPU belt turner(Health Audit Passcode)
        🔧 Automotive assembly.Heavy Duty Chain Plate MachineBully (durability overrides all)

final tyranny (law)Don't believe the sales of "universal models"!Turners don't have hexagonal fighters at all, it's more important to be able to choose than to be able to use - after all, every minute is real money once the assembly line stops! ✨
