Having the ability to turn enables the belt to avoid obstacles, operate in limited space and eliminate troublesome transfers.
Elongated slots allow the pickets to nest, giving the belt the ability to make right or left turns.
This nesting feature also provides for easy and thorough cleaning of the belt. Minimum belt turning radius is equal to 2.2 times the belt width. This is measured on the inside radius of the belt. There is no maximum turning radius. For tighter turns, two or more narrow width belts divided by a rail may be used.
