Belt conveyors for material flow and production processes
Montech belt conveyors are used for transporting products, workpieces, and components in production processes. Thanks to their modular design, they are suitable for new systems and integration into existing production environments, and they can be adapted to different material flow requirements.
Typical applications include feeding, transporting, and connecting individual process steps. Depending on the application, the conveyor solutions can be combined with roller conveyors, transfer systems, or aluminum framing systems.

Accessories, Spare Parts
Montech offers various accessories to complement your conveyor, including lateral guides, floor and table stands. Our accessories are designed to integrate with other Montech modular components, making it easy to configure your conveyor.
Spare parts TB/KTB/BTB
New generations are replacing the TB, KTB and BTB conveyors. However, the supply of wear and spare parts is still guaranteed so that the existing conveyors can continue to provide reliable service for a long time to come.
Drive technology for energy-efficient belt conveyors
Our belt conveyor drive technology plays a central role in ensuring reliable, energy-efficient material flow. Our systems rely on rubber-coated drive rollers that significantly reduce performance loss due to slippage. Depending on the requirements, our belt conveyors can be operated with a three-phase or asynchronous geared motor. The drive types can be selected flexibly: as a center, front, or rear drive, or with motors directly integrated into the drive roller. These compact drive units offer great power density. Thanks to their slim contours, designed not to get in the way, they are ideal for use in confined spaces. In addition, precisely manufactured gravity roller conveyors made of aluminum profiles can assist with and simplify the conveying process while saving energy.
FAQs
What is a Belt Conveyor?
