Product range

Siegling – total belting solutions

 Traditional conveyor belts are often
intended for generic use, but the design
features of Siegling Prolink modular belts
are aimed at providing specific process-
ing and application benefits. This is why
the Siegling Prolink modular belts are a
perfect addition to Forbo Movement
Systems existing wide range of belting
products. Our vast experience in convey-
ing and processing applications, com-
bined with our line of highly specialized
belts ensure that we can offer optimized
conveying solutions regardless of the
application. The Forbo Movement
Systems name is synonymous with not
only superior product quality, but also
with professional technical support and
quality service.

Siegling Prolink is used successfully in a broad range
of applications in industries such as:
– fruit and vegetable processing
– baked goods manufacturing Functions and types
– meat, poultry and seafood processing The right belt for any application! The avail-
– automotive and tire manufacturing ability of a wide range of Siegling Prolink belts
are shown by pitch, surface options and appli-
– logistics cation (straight running and side-flexing)
In these areas, Siegling Prolink modular belts often
play a significant role beyond conveying. Page 7

Materials and properties

In addition to standard materials, a lot of
Benefits of modular belting belt types are made of special materials.
An overview.
Modular belts are robust and durable and can handle
conveying and processing tasks which may not be Page 25
possible with conventional conveyor belting materials
and types.

When assembled and installed, modular belts are end-

less, but if damage occurs, individual modules can
quickly be replaced, thereby minimizing down time
and maintenance costs. Modular belts can be supplied
in any length and width and if needed, functional
modules can be added at any time so belt properties
can be changed if required.

the manufacturing and fabrication of
Siegling Prolink modular belts ensure
optimal application performance and
the highest level of customer satisfaction.
Our products are manufactured in accor-
dance with the ISO 9001 QM-system
which is audited and updated quarterly.
Manufacturing tolerances, on-going
testing and monitoring performed by

 Siegling Prolink modular belts can be cus-
tomized by using modules with different
surface patterns and openings. Side
guards, profiles and other accessories such
as friction pads, wheel stoppers and Hold
Down tabs can be added to most belt
series, thereby optimizing the application.

Special modules and accessories for further

customization are available, or can be
developed according to customer specifi-
cations.

– Tight radius belt with minimum curve radius – Narrow grid structure of the belt ensures secure
of 1.4 x belt width handling of even small products
– Outermost hinge is fixed to the pin to prevent deflec- – High curve belt pull capacity offering improved
tion and elimination of potential belt edge catch points capacity and reliability
– Suitable for both straight and radius conveying – Easy to clean and suitable for conveying of food
– Ideal transmission of force due to sprockets offset including direct food contact
inwards. Idlers support the belt on the outside
– Superior lateral stiffness and rigidity for an all
plastic belt

 Apart from designing module and
sprocket features for specific applica-
tions, selecting the optimal materials is
also important in making sure that a belt
is well-suited for specific conveying or
processing applications.

All materials are tried and tested in the

most varied industrial environments. The
specific characteristics of the individual
materials guarantee ability to handle a
wide range of applications.

HACCP requirements
New regulatory requirements are forcing food manufacturers to adopt increasingly stringent hygiene standards and
sanitation procedures. Conventional conveyor and processing belts often cannot comply with these requirements,
but Siegling Prolink modular belts are designed to effectively support your HACCP concept.
