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.
