At Tribelt, we manufacture all our sprockets entirely in-house. This gives us the freedom and flexibility to tailor every solution precisely to your application. Whether you need Eyelink belts, spiral belts, or Tri-Flex belts, our drive systems are reliable, slip-free, and available for quick delivery.
The sprocket acts as a driving mechanical element within transport or chain belt systems and is designed to provide direct, reliable power transmission without slippage. In possible combination with a chain belt, the sprocket ensures a positive connection between the shaft and the belt, enabling the system to achieve constant and accurate movement.
Our drive elements
Because we develop and manufacture the sprockets ourselves, they always fit perfectly with the belt and the application. For Eyelink belts (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 belt, for example, the positive gear drive prevents belt slip and keeps the belt running straight, even with large increases in width or length. Our gears are available in POM or stainless steel, with options for bore, keyway, and locking.
For Tri-Flex belts, we combine drum friction with specially developed gears. These are fully customized, with the correct width and optimal number of teeth, so that the belt runs smoothly and maintains maximum grip.
Application of our drive elements
Our drive elements and drums are suitable for a wide range of applications.
By producing our gears in-house, the possibilities are virtually endless. We can customize each gear to suit your belt, material, dimensions, and load requirements. This results in fast delivery times, optimal performance, and a long service life for your belt. In addition, our sprockets ensure smooth drive, hygienic operation (for tube drums), high load capacity (for cage drums), and completely slip-free drive (for drive wheels and ClearTrac applications).
Whether for light or heavy-duty applications, hygienic processes, or industrial production lines, our sprockets and drums offer a reliable, flexible, and hygienic solution for every challenge.
Tribelt develops and supplies drive elements that are specially tailored to the unique properties of three commonly used belt types: eyelink belts, balanced weave belts, and Triflex belts. Specific options are available for each belt type to ensure optimal drive and service life.
Eyelink belts have an open structure and require a precise drive that prevents slippage.
Options:
Balanced weave belts are often used in cooling and baking processes, where stability and hygiene are essential.
Options:
Tri-flex move not only linearly, but also in curves. This places high demands on the drive elements.
Options:
ClearTrac drive elements are specially designed to drive the belt directly.
A tube drum is a closed cylinder that drives the belt by friction.
A cage drum consists of a drum with bars (a “cage”) that give the belt 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.
