Side Grip Conveyor / Hugger Belts

Gripping Belt Conveyer

Side grip conveyors pinch the sides of a product, (typically packaged) no contact on the bottom surface for labeling, printing or inspection.  Side gripper / hugger belts can be designed with timing belt conveyors or wedge style chain conveyors. They can also be used as a metering belt to reduce surges in product by breaking up slugs of product.

Benefits of Side Grip Conveyors:

  • Enhanced Labeling and Printing: Non-contact bottom handling enables accurate and efficient labeling and printing processes.
  • Improved Inspection: Allows for thorough inspection of the bottom surface without interrupting product flow.
  • Controlled Product Flow: Metering functionality reduces product surges and ensures consistent product spacing.
  • Versatile Product Handling: Adaptable to various product sizes and shapes.
  • Increased Efficiency: Automated side grip handling minimizes manual labor and optimizes production processes.

Applications of Side Grip Conveyors:

  • Labeling and printing lines.
  • Inspection stations.
  • Packaging and bottling facilities.
  • Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing.
  • Any production line requiring non-contact bottom handling.

When seeking a precise and reliable solution for product handling, particularly for labeling, printing, and inspection applications, side grip conveyors offer a significant advantage. Their unique design and versatile functionality make them an ideal choice for optimizing production processes and enhancing overall efficiency.

Key Features:

Typically for light and medium sized loads.  Can be suitable for packaged, cartons or case handling. Light duty to heavy construction.

Options:

  • Straight running conveyors only
  • Small footprint
  • Can handle multiple sizes with manual adjustment
  • Accessibility to bottom of product
