At Tribelt, we produce all our gears completely in-house. This gives us the freedom and flexibility to tailor each solution exactly to your application. Whether it's wire belts, spiral belts or Tri-Flex belts: our drive systems are reliable, slip-free and available quickly.
The sprocket acts as a floating mechanical element within conveyor or chain belt systems and is designed to provide direct, reliable power transmission without slip. In possible combination with a chain belt, the sprocket provides a positive coupling between the axle and the belt, so that the system achieves constant and accurate movement.
Our gears
Because we develop and produce the gears ourselves, they always match the belt and the application perfectly. For wire rope tires (OGB-L and OGB), we offer three drive options: tube drums, cage drums and drive wheels.
For spiral belts, we offer both friction and gear drives. With the Cleartrac tire, for example, the positive gear drive prevents tire slip and the tire always runs neatly, even with large increases in width or length. Our gears are available in POM or stainless steel, with bore, keyway and locking options.
With Tri-Flex tires, we combine drum friction with specially developed gears. These are fully customized, with the correct width and the optimal number of teeth, so that the tire runs smoothly and maintains maximum grip.
Application of our gears
Our gears and drums are suitable for a wide range of applications.
By manufacturing our gears in-house, the possibilities are almost endless. We can customize each sprocket to suit your tire, material, dimensions and load requirements. This results in fast delivery time, optimal performance and a long life for your tire. In addition, our gears ensure uniform drive, hygienic operation (with tube drums), high load capacity (with cage drums) and completely slip-free drive (for drive wheels and Cleartrac applications).
Whether it's light or heavy applications, hygienic processes or industrial production lines, our gears and drums offer a reliable, flexible and hygienic solution for every challenge.
Tribelt develops and supplies gears that are specifically tailored to the unique properties of three commonly used belt types: wire-edged bands, open spiral bands and Triflex tires. Specific options are available for each type of tire to ensure optimal drive and longevity.
Wire-oged belts have an open structure and require a precise drive that prevents slip.
Options:
Open spiral belts are often used in cooling and baking processes, where stability and hygiene are essential.
Options:
Triflex tires move not only linearly, but also when cornering. This places high demands on the gears.
Options:
Cleartrac gears are specifically designed to drive the tire directly.
A tube drum is a closed cylinder that drives the tire by friction.
A cage drum consists of a drum with bars (a “cage”) that give the tire better grip.
Tribelt manufactures drive elements for metal conveyor belts entirely in-house. This guarantees customization, a perfect fit and high quality. Our solutions prevent belt slip, improve efficiency and extend the life of your conveyor system.
We manufacture drive elements and drums from:
The material is chosen based on load, hygiene requirements and the specific application within your conveyor belt.
A positive drive prevents tire slip, ensures optimal tire positioning and reduces wear. Thanks to high-quality materials and a robust construction, both your drive and conveyor belt will last considerably longer.
Our drives are used worldwide in the food and heavy industry industries, including:
Yes. We design and produce custom gears, drum drives and sprockets for metal conveyor belts. Everything is fully tailored to your installation, including diameter, tooth configuration, bore, keyway and mounting options.
