Curved conveyor

A curved conveyor enables the transport of a variety of goods regardless of their size, width or length - whether with a flat surface or an encircling frame. The specialized conveyors can handle the transport of both lighter goods and heavy loads, such as pallets, workpiece carriers, boxes, crates and much more. Curved conveyors therefore offer a versatile solution for different transport requirements in various industries and applications.

Similar to roller conveyors, curved conveyors are available in two versions: the non-driven and the driven version. In the driven version, they offer a wide range of transport options as roller curves, belt curves and modular belt curves. You can find a selection of our realized projects here. 

Curved conveyors can consist of rollers, curved plate or link belts, or curved belt conveyors. In the case of rollers, the conveyed goods move through the curve in a rolling motion. In all other designs, the conveyed goods rest on the transport medium and are carried through the curve. The curve modules enable controlled guidance of the conveyed goods at the desired angle. They are designed to enable the continuous transport of various goods. This is particularly useful in applications where a uniform material feed is important.

The curve conveyor takes the incoming goods and returns them to the outgoing conveyor in the identical orientation. With a conveyor curve, for example, 45°, 90°, 180°, and almost any other number of degrees can be realized.

Curved conveyors in chain or belt design are always driven. Roller curves differ between driven and non-driven versions. In the non-driven version, the conveyed goods are transported, for example, by gravity over a gradient or using muscle power. They are used where conveyed goods, such as packages or boxes, still have to be picked up or pallets or workpiece carriers that still have to be moved manually.

Curved conveyors are used in a wide range of industries and applications. In the automotive industry, roller conveyors with curves enable the smooth transport of vehicle parts from one production station to the next. Conveyor systems with roller conveyors and curves are also used in warehouses and distribution centers to sort and move goods efficiently.

For the transport of plastic crates over several levels, we also use straight and curved roller conveyors with drives, in combination with conveyor belts, rotating units and stoppers. In this application, two full crates are simultaneously removed from the upper level, and two empty KLTs are fed into the lower level. After delivery, the empty KLTs are orientated in the same direction via a small turntable. The containers then travel to the higher level on a conveyor belt and are filled at various stations. In the final step, the containers are transported to their unloading position, where the unloading process cycle starts all over again.

At TEGEL-TECHNIK, we understand that every industry and production facility has unique requirements when it comes to conveyor technology. Our curved conveyors can be tailored to meet specific needs, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems while adhering to industry regulations. From selecting the right materials - such as stainless steel for food processing or heavy-duty coated rollers for industrial environments - to optimizing belt types, widths, and load capacities, we offer fully customized solutions. Additional features such as side guides, variable speed control, automated tracking systems, and modular designs ensure that our curved conveyors enhance productivity and safety while maintaining flexibility. Whether you require a conveyor system for high-speed sorting, heavy-load transport, or hygienic applications, our engineering team is ready to develop a tailored solution that meets your exact specifications.

Curved conveyors are used across various industries to optimize material flow, save space, and enhance operational efficiency. Their ability to smoothly transport goods around corners and integrate into automated systems makes them an essential component in modern production and logistics. Some of the key industries that benefit from our curved conveyor solutions include:
