Robson Airport Baggage Handling Conveyor Systems are designed for each customer's needs and site peculiaratities. As with many industries, space is at a premium. To use the least possible space the system needs to bend around corners or divert around obstacles. Power Bends enable Robson to do this, with radius bends any combination of bend can be achieved.

The specially developed curve belts are in the shape of a cone, endlessly joined with a vulcanised joint and fitted with a continuous beading which guide the belt smoothly between angled & sealed for life bearings giving a quiet and maintenance free path.

Drive is through a tapered pulley covered with a high friction coating allowing speeds up to 150 meters per minute with loads for 60 Kg/meter.

The patented guidance system, which requires no lubrication, eliminates the need for chain or rollers to be carried on the belt and the problems associated with them (high noise, greasing, belt tearing, high motor power).

The power bends are supplied complete with shaft mounted drive packages, support legs, under guards and sidewalls. Belt material can be flame retardant to ISO 340 standards. Curves can be supplied with any inside radius, belt width or angle and even be configured into a helix form for inclining or declining systems.

The curve operates at a maximum of 68dBa at high speeds and is therefore very quiet Although virtually maintenance free, provision can be made for the belt to be changed if necessary in less than 8 minutes.
