Model "FTC" Inclined Slider Bed Belt Conveyor
Inclined Slider Bed Belt Conveyor
ACSI Model FTC is an inclined slider bed belt conveyor for raising or lowering cartons, packages, and other compatible unit loads between elevations. Its rough-top belt helps maintain product contact, while the center drive supports flexible placement in booster-conveyor, gravity-flow, mezzanine, and between-floor layouts. Available nose-over adjustment and cleated-belt options allow the conveyor to be matched to the incline angle, product stability, and required transition.
