System information

System overview
FlexLink's newly developed stainless steel conveyor is
designed to fit into demanding primary and secondary
packaging applications. It addresses important aspects
of today's packing processes, such as being easy to
clean, smooth handling of products, safe for operators,
robust design, long life, and easy to maintain with a low
cost of ownership.
The modularized and standardized design ensures fast
set up, and facilitates rapid future extensions and
changes.

Separation of larger surfaces Small contact surfaces

To simplify cleaning and to ensure consistent results, To make the cleaning process faster and consistent, the
larger surfaces have been separated to improve access small contact surfaces within the frame have been
between them for cleaning and inspection of results. This designed in order to eliminate hard-to-reach areas.
separation also improves drainage and speeds up the
drying process after cleaning. Also, the bearings are sep-
arated 25 mm from the framework with spacers to pre-
vent contamination.

System information 1
No open threads
Due to the difficulties of keeping open threads clean, all
threads in the conveyor are covered from the top down to
the floor.
Reduction of sharp corners
To achieve efficient and consistent cleaning results, it is
important to avoid sharp corners that are hard to clean.
Both inside and outside of the framework, smooth edges
have been added at perpendicular contact surfaces to
aid operators when cleaning the conveyor in both wet
and dry applications.
2 System information
No flat surfaces for better drainage
In wash-down environments, it is important to have
proper drainage of water and other liquids. The WLX
design has been optimized in this regard by selecting dif-
ferent manufacturing processes to create shapes that
enable efficient drainage. This will also have an important
impact on its ability to be cleaned in dry environments in
both primary and secondary packaging lines.

Conveyor Beams - Introduction
Components such as plain bends, etc., cannot be
placed too close to an End drive unit. Therefore, the min-
imum permissible length for conveyor beam sections
when connecting to an End drive unit is 844 mm. This
ensures a sufficient amount of return belt tension directly
after the drive sprocket to avoid slack close to the
sprocket wheel. The return belt hanging between the first
two belt guides provides this belt tension (called back
tension).
Connecting brackets have to be ordered separately
when joining End drives, idler ends, conveyor beams, etc.
When joining two conveyor beams, a beam spacer kit
must be ordered separately.

In order to facilitate cleaning, the top belt can be lifted up B
and the outer slide rails can be folded back. Top
For hygiene reasons, the WLX system is based on an of
belt
easy-to-clean, free hanging return belt.
Elongation of the belt due to load is normally evenly
distributed on the return side and along the whole con-
veyor, and placement of the belt guides for the return belt
is critically important for proper conveyor system perfor-
mance. Conveyor beams can be ordered from 142 mm
up to 3000 mm and are always pre-engineered and con-
figured according to the rules that must be followed.
Conveyor beams are normally not symmetrical, which
is why they have an upstream and downstream end. An WL

types
Drive unit types
A soft motor start is recommended for use with high-
speed and long conveyors. This is because these types
of modular belts are quite heavy, and the free hanging
return belt can begin to oscillate momentarily during
startup.
A grease nipple is included in all flange bearings. The
bearings are initially filled with FDA-approved, food-
grade grease (NSF H1).
End drive units including SEW motors IP 65, can be
ordered with food-grade oil and stainless steel hollow
shafts in the web-based configurator.
Motor specifications
Motors are available for 230/400 V, 50 Hz and 230/460 V
or 330/575 V, 60 Hz. All motors can be connected for
delta or star configuration by means of jumpers.
Variable speed motors are SEW Movimot, 380–500 V.
Note that variable speed motors include a control box
that adds 93 mm to the width of the motor.

Belt tensioner unit
A belt tensioner unit should always be placed near the
End drive unit and its use is recommended:
- for long conveyors >20 meters
- for long conveyors >15 m and a speed of >30 m/min
- for conveyors with frequent starts/stops, especially if the
load is high
- if an End drive unit needs to be placed close to a plain
bend
- if an End drive unit needs to be placed on the lower part
next to a conveyor slope section
- for short conveyors where the belt slack length is insuf-
ficient to lift the belt for cleaning
Ordering information
Drive units with motors must be specified using the web-
based configurator. The configurator provides detailed
information and step-by-step guidance in the specifica-
tion process. A product code string is generated, contain-
ing the specification details. See next page for examples
of code strings.
Drive units without motors can be ordered using the des-
ignations in the catalogue.
• Connecting brackets have to be ordered separately.
• Slide rail must be ordered separately.

Idler end units – introduction
Chain guidance at end of conveyor
The idler end unit is used to guide the chain from the
return side of the conveyor up to the top side with a min-
imum of friction. The chain is guided by three or more
idler wheels on a common, rotating shaft supported by
ball bearings.

Ordering information
• Connecting strips are included with the idler end
units.
• Slide rail must be ordered separately.

Plain Bends - Introduction
When using radius flush grid belts in plain bends, the belt
pull force will be concentrated on the outer part of the Plain bend, Easy Clean 45°
belt. A certain straight section is needed before and after
the bend in order to transfer the load between the outer
belt section and evenly distribute it to the straight belt 300
section. This is critical before entering another plain
bend, end drive unit, etc. This required straight section is
always integrated in the plain bend itself (300 mm for
WL374X, 450 mm for WL526X, and 600 mm for
WL678X).
Plain bend placement, as for all other Flexlink conveyors,
should always be considered. A plain bend placed too far
downstream on a conveyor generates unnecessary belt
pull. Also, placement of a plain bend too close to an end
drive unit can lead to an unnecessary slack increase and
R 820
a separate slack unit must be added. Always use the
Flexlink calculation tool (FLCT) to calculate the resulting 45°
pull forces.

Drive unit types
A soft motor start is recommended for use with high-
speed and long conveyors. This is because these types
of modular belts are quite heavy, and the free hanging
return belt can begin to oscillate momentarily during
startup.
A grease nipple is included in all flange bearings. The
bearings are initially filled with FDA-approved, food-
grade grease (NSF H1).
End drive units including SEW motors IP 65, can be
ordered with food-grade oil and stainless steel hollow
shafts in the web-based configurator.
Motor specifications
Motors are available for 230/400 V, 50 Hz and 230/460 V
or 330/575 V, 60 Hz. All motors can be connected for
delta or star configuration by means of jumpers.
Variable speed motors are SEW Movimot, 380–500 V.
Note that variable speed motors include a control box
that adds 93 mm to the width of the motor.

The idler end unit is used to guide the chain from the
return side of the conveyor up to the top side with a min-
imum of friction. The chain is guided by three or more
idler wheels on a common, rotating shaft supported by
ball bearings.

Plain Bends - Introduction
When using radius flush grid belts in plain bends, the belt Plain bend, Easy Clean 45°
pull force will be concentrated on the outer part of the
belt. A certain straight section is needed before and after
the bend in order to transfer the load between the outer 450
belt section and evenly distribute it to the straight belt
section. This is critical before entering another plain
bend, end drive unit, etc. This required straight section is
always integrated in the plain bend itself (300 mm for
WL374X, 450 mm for WL526X, and 600 mm for
WL678X).
Plain bend placement, as for all other Flexlink conveyors,
should always be considered. A plain bend placed too far
downstream on a conveyor generates unnecessary belt
pull. Also, placement of a plain bend too close to an end
drive unit can lead to an unnecessary slack increase and R 1240

a separate slack unit must be added. Always use the

Flexlink calculation tool (FLCT) to calculate the resulting 45°
pull forces.

Conveyor Beams - Introduction
Components such as plain bends, etc., cannot be
placed too close to an End drive unit. Therefore, the min-
imum permissible length for conveyor beam sections
when connecting to an End drive unit is 844 mm. This
ensures a sufficient amount of return belt tension directly
after the drive sprocket to avoid slack close to the
sprocket wheel. The return belt hanging between the first
two belt guides provides this belt tension (called back
tension).
Connecting brackets have to be ordered separately
when joining End drives, idler ends, conveyor beams, etc.
When joining two conveyor beams, a beam spacer kit
must be ordered separately.

Idler end units – introduction
Chain guidance at end of conveyor
The idler end unit is used to guide the chain from the
return side of the conveyor up to the top side with a min-
imum of friction. The chain is guided by three or more
idler wheels on a common, rotating shaft supported by
ball bearings.

Ordering information
• Connecting strips are included with the idler end
units.
• Slide rail must be ordered separately.

Plain Bends - Introduction
When using radius flush grid belts in plain bends, the belt
pull force will be concentrated on the outer part of the Plain bend, Easy Clean, 45°
belt. A certain straight section is needed before and after
the bend in order to transfer the load between the outer
600
belt section and evenly distribute it to the straight belt
section. This is critical before entering another plain
bend, end drive unit, etc. This required straight section is
always integrated in the plain bend itself (300 mm for
WL374X, 450 mm for WL526X, and 600 mm for
WL678X).
Plain bend placement, as for all other Flexlink conveyors,
should always be considered. A plain bend placed too far
downstream on a conveyor generates unnecessary belt R 1650
pull. Also, placement of a plain bend too close to an end
drive unit can lead to an unnecessary slack increase and 45°
a separate slack unit must be added. Always use the
Flexlink calculation tool (FLCT) to calculate the resulting
pull forces. 600
