Model "MPB" Medium Duty Modular Plastic Slider Bed Conveyor
Medium Duty Modular Plastic Slider Bed Conveyor
ACSI Model MPB is a medium-duty modular plastic slider bed conveyor for transporting, diverting, merging, and low-pressure accumulation of compatible products. Its interlocking polypropylene belt slides on a stationary UHMW bed and is positively driven by molded sprockets. This construction classifies the MPB as a slider bed conveyor while providing a different carrying surface and drive arrangement than conventional fabric-belt slider bed models.
