Hygienic conveyor componentsTechnical bulletin from FlexLink 5286EN-1

Introducing the hygienic conveyor system – second generation

The XMY hygienic conveyor system has been modi-fied based on field experience and suggestions from customers. With focus on structure rigidness, easy construction, and easier cleaning, several compo-nents have been modified. Some new components have been added.

ImportantThe new XMY products are not compatible with earlier versions. This means that you cannot combine old and new components, due to the different design of the beam. The modified components carry the old designa-tion with an A added at the end.

Technical characteristicsConveyor beam

The conveyor beam is now built entirely of stainless steel parts, including the beam clamp and the bottom profile, for increased stiffness and temperature resistance. Slide rail must now be attached also to the bottom profile.

The conveyor beam design is cleaner for improved hygienic characteristics. Safety tube is not needed. Rigid fixing points are available every 100 mm along the con-veyor beam.

Drive units, idlers, transfer units, bends

Modifications fo drive units etc include a slightly different way of connection to the beam. Hygienic characteristics are improved by incorporating open slots in the side plates of idler units and drive units.

Support system

The support components have been optimized for maxi-mum rigidity and easy mounting.
