Flat-Top, Modular, Incline & Freezer

Sanitary Belt Conveyors

Food grade belt conveyors for washdown environments — from point-A-to-point-B transport to freezer-rated arctic systems and steep elevation changes. The widest range of sanitary applications, on TIG-welded stainless frames with FDA belting.

General-purpose sanitary product transport between process stages.

Flat-Top Belt Conveyors

Smooth, continuous belt surface for stable product handling. FDA-approved belting materials from Intralox, Habasit, or equivalent. Available in straight, curved, and incline/decline configurations with adjustable speed via VFD or Mag-Drive.

✓Smooth, continuous belt surface
✓FDA-approved belting materials
✓Straight, curved, and incline configurations

Direction changes without transfers — 45°, 90°, 180°, and S-curve paths.

Radius, S-Curve & 180° Belt Conveyors

Side-flexing modular belt (Intralox or Habasit) or a radius flat belt on a TIG-welded stainless frame carries product around the corner on one continuous belt — no dead plates, no transfer gaps, no product tumble. The inside radius is set by the belt's collapse factor.

✓45°, 90°, 180°, and S-curve layouts
✓One belt through the turn — no transfer points
✓Side-flexing FDA-approved belting
✓Curved UHMW wearstrips and sanitary guide rails

Where It Fits in the Line

See how this solution integrates into real production line configurations. Explore AQS products in this line.

One line, several conveyor jobs: belt conveyors for transport between process stages, 24V MDR for zero-pressure case accumulation, stainless chain for full pallet weight. AQS builds the whole path, so every segment shares the same welded, washdown construction and the same controls.
