Nose Over Conveyor

Nose over is a conveyor shape, not a separate machine: a horizontal section at the top of an incline. We build it into grinder feed, robot unload, and other conveyors to clear equipment, aisles, or guarding, or to discharge parts level.

Application

Clearing obstructions and discharging level

A nose over conveyor adds a horizontal section at the top of the incline. Parts are discharged level rather than off the end of an inclined belt, and the top section extends over equipment or other obstructions. The same shape is used on grinder feed, robot unload, and other conveyors.

515 / 715 series: incline with a nose over at the top.

535 / 735 series: horizontal, incline, and horizontal sections, for work station and obstruction clearance applications. The same shape is built as a decline run-out for robot unload.

Where the belt bends up from a horizontal load section (535 / 735), we use the same exclusive UHMW-PE belt hold-down as our horizontal to incline conveyors, with no hold-down rollers.
