Flexible conveyor systems are an excellent solution for manufacturing and logistics environments where the transport path changes frequently or available space must be utilized to the maximum. The sections of the system can be moved, adjusted and easily shaped into different layouts, making them ideal for flexible or temporary material handling tasks.
Below you can explore how they operate, their key benefits and their typical application areas!
fast deployment | adjustable and expandable | maximum productivity
The purpose of flexible conveyor systems is to provide a material handling route that can be adapted quickly and easily. The modules can be moved manually, extended, folded or shaped into curves, allowing the conveyor path to be adjusted within moments to the current task or available space.
This flexibility is especially important in manufacturing and logistics processes where routes, access points or handling areas change frequently. Flexible conveyors require minimal installation time, are easy to operate and are ideal for occasional or seasonal material handling as well.
Easy maintenance – the flexible chain is made of white, high-strength engineering plastic. No lubrication required, only regular cleaning.
Low noise level – operating noise < 30 dB.
Flexible and modular design – conveyor modules can be installed in various layouts according to the production process and easily modified when the process changes.
Easy installation – only a few basic tools are needed; the installation process is simple.
Stable and durable – each component can be used reliably for at least one year.
Compact storage – when folded, it takes up minimal space.
Easy handling – one or two operators can move and adjust it.
Scalable solution – multiple conveyor sections can be connected for longer material handling tasks.
Suitable for peak periods – can be deployed quickly when workload increases or material flow changes.
The system consists of interconnected segments that can be moved in multiple directions and use rollers or belts to transport products. The length and shape of the conveyor can be adjusted manually and quickly:
Some configurations include lockable castors, allowing the conveyor to be moved and secured easily. Depending on the application, the drive can be manual (gravity roller) or motorized. The system provides stable support and smooth conveying for light to medium-weight goods.
In the development of Vitrans conveyor systems, particular emphasis is placed on the quality of the components and parts used. The company collaborates with internationally recognized suppliers that provide proven solutions for industrial environments.
This strong supplier background ensures that Vitrans systems offer reliable mechanical design, stable operation and predictable long-term performance. High-quality core components contribute at every level of production to meeting the demanding requirements of industrial automation.
Carefully selected supplier partnerships, combined with the Vitrans engineering mindset, create the solid technical foundation on which modular and scalable conveyor solutions are built.
Flexible chain material: POM
Chain widths: 43 mm / 63 mm / 83 mm / 103 mm / 140 mm / 175 mm / 295 mm
Maximum conveyor length with one drive unit: 40 meters
Operating temperature: −20℃ ~ +60℃
Maximum speed: 50 m/min
Flexible conveyor systems are most effective in the following areas:
Warehouses and logistics centers – supporting inbound and outbound processes.
Loading zones – serving trucks, containers and docking stations.
Packaging and sorting operations – enabling fast transfer between different stations.
Temporary or mobile production lines – where routes change frequently.
Handling seasonal production peaks.
Thanks to their flexibility, they are ideal in facilities where fixed conveyors would not be economical or would not provide the required movement space.
A perfect choice for companies in the medical, cosmetic or food processing industries!

They provide precise positioning and predictable material transfer between defined workstations. Ideal for production environments where stable, repeatable transport and well-planned station-to-station flow are essential.
They transport products along a defined path using side supports or guide rails. They ensure stable, well-controlled movement in repetitive production processes.
With their robust construction, they are suitable for the safe transport of heavier loads. Their modular design allows for various lengths and configurations to meet changing production line requirements.
