Belt Conveyor Systems
Belt Conveyors
CSL can provide a wide range of belt conveyor designs to accommodate a variety of industries and products. These range from conveyors manufactured in stainless steel for hygienic food and pharmaceutical applications to mild painted steel systems suitable for manufacturing and warehouse environments.
Designs can be configured to suit specific process requirements, including belt type, conveyor length, speed, and integration with existing equipment. This ensures efficient material handling, reliable operation, and long-term durability across a broad range of operating conditions.
Benefits of Belt Conveyors
- Higher throughputs and productivity Vs. manual operations
- Provides consistent and continuous product movements
- Low maintenance
- Ideal for poly bags, packets, totes, cartons, and even irregular products.
- Reductions in risks associated with manual handling
- Cost savings over the manual movement of products
Our range will cover it all, whether you need a high-speed metering / gapping belt conveyor for an eCommerce application or a slower-operating transit conveyor. From small to large, lightweight to heavy loads, the CSL sales team will be able to guide you through the right specifications for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of conveyor belts are included in your range?
Our range is expansive, and the integration is seamless. We use both end-driven drum drives for smaller items to ensure efficient transitions and motors equipped with brakes for handling heavier loads, especially on inclines or declines.
Which industries commonly use these conveyor systems?
Both conveyor belts and roller conveyors are versatile and serve multiple industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, manufacturing, logistics, and more.
How often should I service my belt conveyor?
Regular maintenance is crucial. Our ConveyorCare plans offer peace of mind to protect your investment. The exact frequency depends on usage and the specific system. However, periodic checks every 3-6 months are generally recommended.
Are there safety concerns I should be aware of?
Safety is paramount. It’s essential to ensure that workers are trained to use conveyors safely and safety features like guards and emergency stops are integrated into the design.
How long is the typical lifespan of a conveyor system?
With regular maintenance, conveyor systems can last for many years, often well over a decade. The exact lifespan varies based on usage and system type.
How energy-efficient are Conveyor systems?
Modern conveyor systems are designed with energy efficiency in mind, utilising technology to minimise power consumption while maximising performance.
Can I expand or modify my conveyor system in the future?
Yes, many of our systems are modular in design, allowing for future expansion or reconfiguration as your business needs evolve.
Belt conveyor vs Conveyor Belt
Belt conveyor is the machine in its entirety and a conveyor belt is the material on the face (usually rubber) which will have contact with the products being moved.
What is a gapping / metering belt?
A series of small belts to create space between products and materials to make a secondary process such as picking and packing much easier.
Belt Conveyor vs. Roller Conveyor
Belt Conveyors are perfect when the material or products are small or irregular sizes or have a linear change of height (incline). Roller Conveyors are cost-effective way to transport materials and products and can easily interface with other automation and conveyor systems.
