Modular Belt Conveyors
Unitech manufactures a wide variety of slat and modular belt conveyors, which are designed to suit the exact requirements of the industry sector they are supplied to. This ranges from industrial warehousing to food, beverage and pharmaceutical environments.
Our core modular belt conveyor design is predominately of a stainless-steel construction. We utilise the latest modular belts on the market to help facilitate the highest quality end product. Find out more below:
Modular Plastic Conveyor Belt
Modular belt conveyors are a popular choice amongst many industries. This is due to the multi-functional properties of the modular belt and its high durability.
The belt is constructed from interlocking plastic teeth (or modules) and can be easily designed to suit a wide range of functions. In particular, they suit wide belt conveyors for packed products (in cases) or for automated wrapping lines.
Why choose our product?
Our modular belt conveyors are extremely reliable systems, used to efficiently transport packed (or unpacked products) safely to their required destination. They can also be combined with depalletisation tables.
The belt’s flexibility allows us to design our modular belt conveyors for curved applications, ideal for areas where floor space is limited or where tight turns need to be navigated.
The construction of the belt makes it incredibly easy to maintain and clean – perfect for production lines handling raw products such as fish, meat or vegetables.
Our modular belt conveyors are great for the bakery industries where they are used as cooling lines for freshly baked goods. For example, a typical design would incorporate a spiral conveyor, allowing products to cool before returning to the line for packing.
Due to its high durability, the belt is able to withstand extreme temperature conditions, handling both hot and sharp products without any issue.
The belt is also suitable for flighted elevator conveyors where products need to be conveyed to differing levels.

The above video shows a modular belt conveyor being tested in readiness for installation into a large chicken processing company. This particular conveyor will be used as a chicken grading line and has white spacing lines to ensure chicken breasts are placed correctly to allow pieces to be graded by weight.
