Conveyor Belts
Loma conveyors are fitted with either flat belts which are suitable for use with lighter products or
plastic modular belts which are suitable for use with heavier products in a harsher environment.
The belts are positively driven from a central drive sprocket that is secured on a square-section drive
shaft. This means that no slippage and no deviation in tracking can occur.
Flat Belts
Flat belts are constructed from polyurethane and have a smooth surface. They are supplied as
standard in white but blue coloured belts are available if required.
