Conveyor Belt Flaking Stations

Belting is heavy and other flaking systems can create manual handling issues and high belt pull forces. We developed a design to mi nimise both the manual handling and belt friction associated with flaking out and pulling on long lengths of heavy steel cord belts.

Our design is based on rolling elements, meaning the force required to pull the belts into and out of the flaking system is considerably less than dragging the belt over itself, allowing for the use of smaller and simpler winches. This also assists with keeping the mounting and anchoring of the equipment to a minimum.

Benefits

Designed completely to Australian Standards and fully supported with spares, upgrades and ongoing development.
Manual handling and line of fire risks are minimised.
Modular design allows quick set up for different conveyor belt lengths.
Portable design, with built-in transport and storage solutions.
Lower forces generated from reduced friction, meaning smaller winches and winding equipment are needed.

Our belt flaking systems are ideal for use with belts wider than 1400mm and heavier than 40kg/m.

Easily Transportable

The entire belt flaking system can be transported and stored, in a disassembled state, in just one 40’ and one 20’ sea container, depending on the length of the conveyor system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a conveyor belt Flaking Station?

A conveyor belt flaking station is used to lay down conveyor belting in a controlled, organised manner during installation or maintenance. It ensures the belt is evenly arranged on the ground or structure, ready for safe and efficient feeding onto the conveyor system.

When are Flaking Stations used?

Flaking stations are typically used during:

Conveyor belt installations
Belt changeouts
Belt storage and preparation prior to installation

They are particularly beneficial when managing long lengths of belt in confined or complex site environments.

What are the benefits of using a flaking station?

Flaking stations provide several operational benefits:

Controlled and consistent belt handling
Reduced risk of belt twisting, kinking, or damage
Improved efficiency during belt installation
Reduced manual handling requirements

Can Flaking Stations be customised?

Yes. Flaking stations can be engineered to suit:

Belt width, thickness, and construction
Site layout and available space
Installation methodology
Integration with other belt handling equipment

How do flaking stations integrate with other belt handling equipment?

Flaking stations are typically used as part of a complete belt handling system and can be integrated with:

Belt winders
Belt clamps
Belt pullers
Turning frames

This enables a coordinated and efficient belt installation process.

How do flaking stations improve safety?

Flaking stations improve safety by:

Reducing manual handling of conveyor belts
Maintaining controlled belt placement
Minimising trip hazards and uncontrolled movement

This contributes to safer installation and maintenance activities.

Do you provide installation and support services?

Yes. Fenner Conveyors offers full lifecycle support, including delivery, installation, commissioning, and operational guidance to ensure flaking stations perform safely and effectively.
