Smooth, Accurate & Reliable Belt Tracking Solutions
Conveyor belt tracking frames are a common solution in material handling, however design and configuration is where innovation comes into play. Selecting the right solution can play a pivotal role in maintaining conveyor belt alignment, reducing downtime, and enhancing productivity.
What are Belt Tracking Frames?
Belt tracking frames, also known as belt training frames, are specialised components integrated into conveyor systems to address the challenge of belt misalignment. They are designed to correct and maintain the position of conveyor belts, keeping it centred and material secured during operation. This proactive approach helps prevent issues such as belt mistracking, which can lead to costly disruptions such as belt damage and significant material spillage. Above all, mistracking can lead to structural failure which can cause safety hazards including fire from the friction.
CPS Tracking Frames
Australian manufacturer of quality conveyor products, and part of the Fenner Conveyors Group in Australia, Conveyor Products & Solutions (CPS), provide specialised and customisable belt tracking solutions.
CPS Tracking Frames are designed and equipped with dual bearing pivot for accurate and reliable belt tracking functions that are built-to-last.
CPS’ pivot design also uses a ball slew/thrust bearing to reduce the load taken by the main bearing and extend the pivot life.
CPS’ Tracking Frames are also designed with Guide Rollers allow accurate adjustment to the belt edge on installation, which is critical in the ability to track belt along the conveyor system.
All CPS tracking frames are application-specific and can be manufactured in all typical frame configuration – both carry and return.
Overall, CPS tracking frames not only facilitate proper belt alignment but empower operators with the ability to maximise conveyor productivity.
