Conventionally, a series of several individual conveyors is necessary to realise long conveyor lines. This segmentation creates critical transfer points for the transport of goods. The number of transfer points and the overall height can be minimised by direct drives based on magnetic toothed belts and carriers attached to the mat chains. For example, a modular belt conveyor with an overall height of 100 mm and a width of 1 m can reach a length of well over 10 m. The friction between the mat chain and the sliding plane can be reduced by using alternative sliding partners such as a textile or a sliding support made of wood-based materials. These measures increase process and work safety and allow the system to be designed to be energy efficient.
