Belt curves and Spirals by Flow-Turn are available from Norpak

Flow-Turn belt curves and spiral turns are available from Norpak Handling.

Complex material-handling systems often require belted turns in order to convey products that do not handle well on conventional live roller curves. Flat belt curves and spiral incline or decline turns can move these products where required within a system. Additionally, these flat belt and spiral turns are able to run at substantially higher speeds than live roller curves. Norpak Handling as a leading Conveyor System Integrator knows this, and that is why it partners with manufacturers that supply these items.

One of these supplier partners is Flow-Turn, a global designer and producer of belt curves, inclines, and declines based in Union, NJ. For more than 40 years, Flow-Turn has cultivated a reputation for products that are simple, efficient, and dependable.

Five types of belt curves

Formerly known as PSC Floturn, the company specialized in belted curve conveyors when it moved to its Union location in 1989. Today, Flow-Turn engineers and manufactures its products in-house, with up-to-the-minute technology.
