Flomaster Belt Power Turns are the most specified and used belt power turns in the world because of simplicity of design and rugged reliability. As a result, you can count on simple operation and maintenance.

Belt Power Turns from Flomaster are available in a wide range of sizes and arcs. Customized turns can be manufactured on special order to meet your special requirements.

Proven Design - Positive Direct Drive Belt System

The belt on a Flomaster Belt Power Turn is positively driven by a shaft mounted sprocket engaging a precision sidebow chain which is attached directly to the belt. This positive drive arrangement is unaffected by changes in loading, tension, temperature, humidity and foreign material getting between the bottom of the belt and the end rolls. When conditions change, there is no requirement for immediate attention to maintain functional operation of the power turn. The Flomaster chain driven belt power turn continues to operate in changing conditions while performance is not compromised.

Because the belt is merely a carrying surface and high tension is not required for operation, belt life, as well as the integrity of the belt joints is greatly enhanced. The absence of high belt tension increases the life expectancy of end roll components (shafts, bearings, pulleys) due to the much lower stress levels of the Flomaster Belt Power Turn design.

In short, the simplicity of the positive direct drive of a chain driven belt insures continuous, reliable operation even in harsh and difficult environments with minimal maintenance.

Application Flexibility

Flomaster Belt Power Turns have been used in a wide range of applications requiring a variety of sizes. These turns have been used to move such products as 4' x 8' (1219mm x 2438mm) pieces of plywood, luggage at international airports, bottled products, mail, packages, newspapers and foods - to list just a few!

Besides special sizes other than standard sizes, Flomaster regularly builds stainless steel units to meet strict USDA requirements. Portec is the only USDA accepted belt power turn and spiral conveyor manufacturer.

Thousands of Belt Power Turns are in operation under the toughest conditions around the world. Units built and installed over 35 years ago are still operating on a continual basis!
