Habasit UK and Ireland, a leading conveyor & process belting solutions manufacturer, recently introduced the Habasit M2483 Sphere Top 1” plastic modular belt, a groundbreaking product designed to optimise goods handling in logistics, distribution centres, and parcel (CEP) operations.
The belt’s unique sphere top design enables high-performance, controlled multi-directional movement, offering new possibilities for automation.
“This new belt gives our customers a real advantage in terms of flexibility and efficiency,” explains Anton Wells, Material Handling Account Manager. “By enabling movement in multiple directions, including rotation, it allows facilities to handle goods more efficiently, reduce bottlenecks, and improve overall throughput.”
The durable modular belt is specifically designed to manage multiple controlled movements of goods in automated applications, helping to reduce plant footprint while optimising the Total Cost of Ownership through greater efficiency and lower maintenance needs.
“The sphere top belt isn’t just about improving movement,” adds Chris Price, Plastic Modular Belt Technical Manager. “It’s also designed for longevity, with features like steel rod floaters that prevent dust and grease build-up around the spheres, keeping the system running smoothly for longer. This translates to fewer maintenance interventions and lower operational costs.”
The M2483 Sphere Top Belt is proven to operate at approximately 30% lower noise levels than similar systems, which benefits operational noise reduction and improves Health & Safety (H&S) on-site. This noise reduction capability helps facilities maintain a safer and more comfortable working environment, an essential factor in modern industrial operations.
The Habasit Sphere Top belt allows goods to move not only forwards but also sideways, backwards, diagonally, or rotate in place, providing flexibility for tasks such as accelerating, sorting, diverting, merging, turning, and spacing goods. This level of control is critical for facility managers facing growing demand and increased parcel volumes in the CEP sector.
The belt’s design enhances automation in processes like printing, scanning, labelling, and inspection, where precise positioning is essential. The rotating spheres can be directed at almost any angle, making complex add-on processes more efficient.
Backed by expert R&D and Technical support, Habasit offers tailored solutions for various operational needs, including in-system designs and detailed engineering guidelines.
