    What sets the Prolink series 17 modular belt apart?

    With a pitch of 25.4 mm, series 17 is customized for conveying medium-weight to heavy products in industrial applications. Its closed hinge design enables transmission of superior tensile force. And the rigid module maximizes belt pull efficiency at a low overall weight.

    What materials are available for series 17?

    Standard materials include POM, and PP, with PXX-HC optionally available for flame retardant applications. These variants mean the belt can adapt to the demands of diverse temperatures and applications, ranging from -45°C to +100°C, depending on the material chosen.

    What does the series 17 belt do particularly well?

    Due to its hard-wearing design, series 17 is built for durability in industrial non-stop operations. The unique keyhole design also makes the hinge pin very easy to remove, which facilitates fitting and maintenance.

    What flight is available for incline conveying?

    The S17-0 FLT PMU I83 features a flight with cross ribs and an 83 mm pitch, specifically designed for conveying products with small profiles. The flight’s height is 10 mm and width 228.6 mm.

    What surface patterns are available?

    There are two versions for diverse applications. S17-0 FLT with a closed, smooth surface for standard usage and S17-0 SRS with a closed, anti-slip surface. This second option is really pleasant to walk and kneel down on. Therefore, it’s ideal for applications where co-workers stand or work right on the belt.

    Does the Prolink series 17 belt have food-grade certification?

    We recommend Prolink series 10 for hygiene-critical applications. It stands apart for its outstanding ease-of-cleaning capabilities and a design tailored to the demands of the food industry and product range. In the standard POM and PP materials, series 17 also meets the requirements of the FDA 21 CFR regulation, the EU directives (EU) 10/2011 and (EC) 1935/2004 and the Japanese MHLW 370 regulation. Therefore, it’s suitable for the food industry.

    Does the series 17 belt also come in a flame-retardant version?

    Yes, PXX-HC material is a flame-retardant version that complies with DIN EN 13501-1 (Cfl-s1) and DIN 4102 B1. This version is ideal for applications with exceptional fire-safety requirements.

    How wide can the series 17 belt be?

    The belt width starts at just 76.2 mm and can be increased in increments of 12.7 mm. The injection-molded modules come in 76 mm and 229 mm widths. Our experts can provide support and help develop a perfect solution for your application.
