A conveyor belt is one of the most important components in modern conveyor technology. This type of continuous conveyor enables the continuous, reliable and automated transport of goods, materials and products from one point to another - whether in production, logistics or warehouses. Whether bulk goods, piece goods or sensitive materials - conveyor belts, also known as belt conveyors, are versatile and offer companies a cost-effective solution for optimising transport routes and work processes.

Efficient and flexible transport solutions for your company

As a manufacturer of a wide range of conveyor technology, we do not offer standard solutions, but customised systems that are tailored to individual applications and transport goods. Conveyor belts rely on a flat transport medium for transport, which can be perfectly combined with other elements of our conveyor systems. In addition to the classic belt conveyor, our portfolio also includes other sub-categories in a wide variety of designs, such as modular belt conveyors, apron conveyors or hinged belt chain conveyors.

Advantages of the TEGEL-TECHNIK conveyor belt

A conveyor belt not only increases efficiency, but also safety in operating environments by minimising manual transport and automating the material flow. Companies benefit from conveyor belts directly from the manufacturer of:

  • Optimised production processes: The continuous material flow reduces waiting times and avoids bottlenecks. Automatic transport also means less manual intervention, which increases work safety.

  • Broad range of applications: Complex transport tasks are easy with our belt conveyors, as they are suitable for a variety of lengths, sizes and quantities of goods at different speeds. Extensions for belt conveyors also allow them to be used in various industries where the requirements for transporting goods are high.

  • Cost savings: Reduction in labour costs, transport times and manual handling processes.

  • Customised: We adapt the belt conveyor to your requirements and circumstances. We will find the right solution for the conveyor line, even in confined spaces or on slopes and inclines. Mobile belt conveyors are also part of our product portfolio.

  • Robust workmanship: Our conveyor technology is characterised by high-quality materials and conscientious workmanship. We only supply our customers with products that meet our standards of robustness, durability and performance.

  • Efficiency and economy: Conveyor belts from TEGEL-TECHNIK are low-maintenance and low-wear and ensure fast, quiet and gentle transport during operation. With modern drives, we also reduce energy requirements and therefore operating costs.

  • Everything from a single source: We offer a high level of vertical integration with an extensive range of mechanical, electrical and software services. As a company in the field of conveyor technology, we have been drawing on our valuable experience since 1982.

Structure and function of a conveyor belt

A conveyor belt basically consists of a stable supporting structure, a drive and deflection station and a conveying medium (fabric belt, modular belt, hinged belt, etc.) that safely transports the goods. The drive of the conveyor belt can be installed as a direct drive either at the head or in the centre of the belt, whereby it is usually mounted on the side. If the available space is limited, it is possible to position the drive under the conveyor belt and couple it to the drive drum via a roller chain. In addition, belt conveyors can easily cope with height differences, gradients and inclines within the conveyor line. The selection of the right conveyor belt depends on the specific requirements of the application and the properties of the transported goods. Smooth-coated belts are particularly suitable for horizontal transport, while textured surfaces, lateral guides or web profiles are ideal for transport on inclines or inclines. Abrasion-resistant belts are the preferred choice for industrial applications in which sharp-edged parts are transported, as they offer a high level of resistance. There are different versions depending on the conveyed goods and area of application:

  • Flat belt conveyor: Ideal for horizontal or slightly inclined transport routes.

  • Rising and lowering belts: Convey goods across different levels.

  • Modular belt conveyors: Consist of plastic modules for flexible applications and easy cleaning.

  • Hinged belt conveyors: Particularly robust for metal chips, hot parts or punching waste.

  • Magnetic conveyor belts: Specially designed for ferromagnetic components.

Conveyor belts from TEGEL-TECHNIK in use

At TEGEL-TECHNIK, we develop customised conveyor technology solutions for a wide range of industries and applications. From planning and design through to assembly, we offer customised systems that are perfectly tailored to our customers' requirements. Belt conveyors are particularly useful when inclines, gradients or curves need to be overcome. They enable goods to be transported quickly, gently and quietly over various distances.

Our conveyor belt systems are versatile and are suitable for transporting goods with different weights, sizes, shapes or uneven contact surfaces. Typical applications include the transport of cardboard boxes, dishwasher baskets, small electrical machines, foam sheets, plastic parts, injection-moulded parts, sheet metal parts, waste materials, polystyrene bases and small parts. Depending on the nature of the goods to be conveyed, our conveyor belts can be equipped with specific profiles - including gentle rubber cleats, cross cleats or corrugated edges to ensure efficient and safe transport.

For various customer projects, we have realised belt conveyors as ascending conveyors that enable the transport of plastic crates to higher levels. For more demanding applications, such as the transport of sharp-edged, hot or heavy-duty materials, we rely on hinged belt conveyors made of steel, which are particularly robust and durable.

Customised adaptations for special requirements

Every company has specific requirements for a conveyor belt. Whether in automotive production, the food industry or the heavy-duty sector - different customisations are required depending on the industry and application. Our customised solutions include

Increased safety requirements for occupational safety

  • Light barriers and safety shutdowns to prevent accidents.

  • Covers and protective devices to ensure safe working environments.

  • Ergonomic adaptations, e.g. height-adjustable systems for better operability.

  • Standardised certifications to ensure that the systems comply with the latest regulations.

Automation & Industry 4.0: Smart conveyor belt solutions

  • Intelligent sensor technology for automated detection and control of transported goods.

  • Dynamic speed settings for a smooth material flow.

  • Connection to higher-level control systems (ERP, MES) for seamless integration into production processes.

  • Predictive maintenance for early detection of wear and optimisation of operational reliability.

Special conveyor belts for demanding industries

  • Food industry: Use of food-safe materials and antibacterial coatings for hygienic standards.

  • Explosion-proof conveyor belts: Special designs for chemical and pharmaceutical applications.

  • Heat-resistant belts: Transport of hot workpieces in foundries or metal processing.

  • Cold-resistant conveyor belts: Optimised solutions for deep-freeze storage and food production.

Conveyor belt maintenance & longevity

A well-maintained conveyor belt offers a long service life and high operational reliability. Our conveyor belt systems are designed to work reliably with minimal maintenance. Regular inspections and maintenance programmes ensure that:

  • Worn parts are detected and replaced in good time.

  • Drive systems function smoothly.

  • Conveyor belts are optimally tensioned and clean.

  • Still times are minimised through preventive measures.
