Where are Flex-Turn® Conveyors used?
Wire Belt’s Flex-Turn® Conveyors are used in production lines where a change in direction is necessary to continue the process of manufactu- ring. This may be in areas where a production line is modular and dif- ferent machinery is required for dif- ferent products, or where space is a premium and a production line con- tinues in a different direction or even

in the opposite direction. Due to the design features of the Enhanced Hy- gienic range Flex-Turn® conveyors have been used in environments where hygiene is of the utmost im- portance, such as food production, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronics. The Flex-Turn conveyor has been used in applications that involve freezing, cooking, breading, baking, sterilizing and many more. Products conveyed on the Flex-Turn Conveyor include pizzas, biscuits, chicken pieces, petfood, ice cream, seafood, diagnostic components and sterilised medical equipment.
