New Era in Industrial Conveyor Solutions: Modular Conveyors
Modern production lines must simultaneously meet many expectations such as flexibility, hygiene, low maintenance requirements, and high efficiency. Transport systems are at the center of these needs. This is where modular conveyor systemscome into play, going beyond traditional solutions and becoming indispensable in many sectors.
As Aliş Makina, with our 60 years of production experience, we integrate modular belt conveyor systems into different industries and provide customized high-performance line solutions to each customer.
What is a Modular Conveyor? Why is it Preferred?
Modular conveyors are transportation systems that operate with belts made of plastic components with an interlocking structure. These systems have a wider range of applications compared to conventional PVC or ThermoDrive belts, and due to their structure, they are resistant to impacts, wear, and liquid contact.
Reasons for preference:
- Modular structure: Defective parts can be easily replaced.
- Durability: It maintains its performance even in harsh conditions such as high temperature, humidity, and sharp products.
- Ease of hygiene: Cleaning operations are fast and practical.
- Flexibility: It is suitable for complex line geometries such as curved, spiral, and inclined configurations.
- Energy efficiency: Motor load is reduced thanks to low friction.
Aliş Makina's Modular Conveyor Solutions
Aliş Makina designs modular belt systems specifically for each project. We optimize all details of the system according to the type of production, product dimensions, line speed, and hygiene standards. Our systems, which are designed using 3D CAD software, are tested in the field and commissioned.
Belt Brands Used:
- Intralox
- Habasit
These brands have internationally recognized quality standards and offer long-lasting performance. For each project, the required belt type, connection structure, and carrying capacity are selected accordingly.
Main Sectors Where Modular Belts are Used
-
Food Sector: Hygiene and Speed Go Hand in Hand
Modular belts are frequently preferred for transporting food products. Blade-tipped transitions prevent product jamming, and hinged upper guides allow operators to intervene quickly.
Aliş Makina Example:
The modular conveyor line we designed for Pringles production with a capacity of 35,000 packages/hour reduced product jamming by 90%. It was also manufactured in compliance with IFS and BRC hygiene standards.

-
Automotive and Spare Parts: Wear-Resistant Structure
Modular belts offer high strength on lines transporting heavy parts. The belt structure is wear-resistant and durable against oily and greasy environments.
Aliş Makina Example:
The modular belts used in the conveyor line developed for an OEM spare parts manufacturer were designed to be both vibration-resistant and require low maintenance.
-
Textiles and Recycling: Suitability for Intensive Transport Load
Textile and clothing recycling projects require rapid sorting and classification. Modular belts are successfully used in these fields thanks to their high load-carrying capacity and uninterrupted operation advantages.
Aliş Makina Example:
In a textile recycling line with 5 ton/hour capacity, products passed through a weighing conveyor and were directed to operator stations. Belt routing was provided by an automatic shuttle system.
Technical Advantages: What Does It Bring to the User?
Easy Repair – Quick Intervention
One of the biggest advantages of modular belts is that only the damaged part can be replaced. This way, the entire line does not stop.
Quiet and Comfortable Operation
Especially in sectors such as food and pharmaceuticals, a noise-free production environment is required. Modular belts meet this need with their quiet operation.
Reduced Energy Consumption
Low friction coefficient reduces motor load. This provides both energy savings and extends motor lifespan.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
Since belt gaps are wide, cleaning with water spray is easier. As cleaning time decreases, downtime decreases.
Project-Based Modular System Approach from Aliş Makina
Every production line has different requirements. As Aliş Makina, we follow these steps in modular conveyor systems:
- On-site inspection and line analysis
- Product-specific belt type and routing selection
- CE certified and ISO 9001:2015 compliant production
- Assembly and commissioning
- Operator training and after-sales support
In this process, every step is monitored with our ERP system. Thanks to our Power BI-enabled control panels, our customers can access performance reports in real-time.
Sustainability-Focused Approach
The use of recyclable plastics in modular conveyor systems reduces the environmental impact of production facilities. Additionally, systems minimize waste generation thanks to their long-lasting structure. The scores we received under ECOVADIS are concrete evidence of our environmental responsibility.
