New KleanTop Plastic Spiral Cage Belts

Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX), a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of industrial powertrain solutions, electric motors and controls, power generation products and power transmission components, has launched its new Rexnord® 6400 Series KleanTop® Plastic Spiral Cage Belts for food manufacturers. The 6400 Series is ideal for customers who want to increase productivity while reducing system costs and food safety risks.

The new line features patented PowerKeyTM technology, delivering the strongest curve strength available in plastic spiral belting for maximum product throughput. In addition to the PowerKey, these modular spiral belts provide increased belt rigidity, allowing carry rails to be spaced 20% further apart, reducing system structural costs. The series features an open design for easy cleaning and sanitation, as well as a 45% open area, allowing for the appropriate balance of airflow and product support in food manufacturing applications.

6400 belts are easy to install and offer reduced maintenance and repair times. The plastic construction requires no cutting, welding or grinding to complete maintenance. Repair is fast and easy with no expensive tools necessary.

Modular Conveyor Belts Offer Increased Capacity

“For years, food manufacturers everywhere have trusted Regal Rexnord as a partner with proven expertise in plastic modular and metal spiral cage belts,” said Shelley Czerniak, Global Business Director – Conveying Food. “Today, Regal Rexnord is bringing this same expertise to plastic spiral cage belts with the Rexnord 6400 Series KleanTop® Belts. This lighter belt provides manufacturers the confidence to run wider, faster and longer to achieve greater productivity.”

The 6400 Series is developed specifically to benefit bakery, protein and ready-to-eat food manufacturers with proofing, cooling, refrigeration, freezing, buffering, accumulation, elevating and lowering applications.

Regal Rexnord Launches Curve System

Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX), a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of electric motors and controls, power generation products and power transmission components, introduces its new Rexnord Curve System with 1540 Series MatTop Chain for conveyor lines requiring a zero tangent 180 and/ or 90-degree curve. The system offers the tightest inner radius (420mm) and smallest transfer (15mm) in the industry, for greatly improved space utilization and package handling.

The new Rexnord Curve System enables head-to-tail transfer of even small and light cases without the need for micro pitch conveyors, transfer modules or plates. A consistent small nose radius across the width of the conveyor and smallest transfer available in the industry result in a safe small gap between the Curve System and the adjacent conveyor. This eliminates the need for roller transfer bars while providing more flexibility in container types when changing lines. Consistent angular speeds of the system’s modular belts ensure that products travel through the curve without rotation.

The Rexnord Curve System uses the lowest number of bearings for zero tangent curves in the industry, minimizing the need for maintenance. The drop-in solution can easily be integrated into existing conveyance systems. It uses multiple, industry standard width chain strands and can be installed by a single person. Its bevel curve retention system ensures a flat conveying surface and easy chain removal.

“The Rexnord Curve System has a cohesive design for optimal performance and ease of maintenance,” said Chad Walker, Global Product Manager, Regal Rexnord. “The product features several industry bests, in both tightest inner radius and smallest transfer, which offer customers unprecedented benefits in both space utilization and package size handling flexibility.”

Regal Rexnord Corporation is a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of industrial powertrain solutions, power transmission components, electric motors and electronic controls, air moving products, and specialty electrical components and systems, serving customers around the world. Through longstanding technology leadership and an intentional focus on producing more energy-efficient products and systems, Regal Rexnord helps create a better tomorrow – for its customers and for the planet.
