Knife Edge Conveyor

A knife edge conveyor is a conveyor belt section with a tapered, rounded end that transfers small and delicate items between sections. The rounded end is also known as a nosebar.
How it works
- The conveyor is driven from the middle, and the ends are made of stainless steel bars.
- The knife edge creates a tight transfer between sections, preventing items from falling through gaps.
- The knife edge can be rotating or rolling.
Where it's used
- Knife edge conveyors are used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
- They are ideal for transferring delicate goods that need to be moved precisely and with minimal damage.
Benefits
- Knife edge conveyors are easy to clean.
- They can be made from high-performance plastics, which can reduce drive power and increase the service life of the conveyor belt.
- They can reduce energy use and maintenance intervals.
