Introduction

In modern production facilities, every square meter matters. As manufacturing lines become more complex and spatial constraints increase, the need for smart material-handling designs grows rapidly. This is where 90° and 180° turning belt systems offer a strategic advantage.

Designed to change product direction smoothly without interrupting the flow, these systems help optimize factory layouts, reduce unnecessary conveyor lengths, and significantly improve operational efficiency.

As Kanguru Endüstri Teknoloji A.Ş., incorporating Avrupa Mühendislik Conveyor and Automation Systems, we have been a trusted solution partner in the sector for over a decade. Our achievements — including being awarded the 2023 “Leader Conveyor and Automation Company of the Year”, the 2024 Career and Achievement Award, and several prestigious sponsorships — demonstrate our commitment to innovation.

Understanding 90° and 180° Turning Belt Systems

What Are Turning Belt Systems?

Turning belt systems are conveyor modules engineered to change the transport direction of products at fixed angles — typically 90° (right or left) or 180° (reverse direction). They help create compact conveyor layouts, enabling smooth redirection without manual handling or additional machinery.

Why Are Turning Belts Needed?

Factories often face:

  • Limited floor space

  • The need to integrate machines in tight areas

  • Complex material flow requirements

  • The necessity to reduce conveyor length and energy consumption

Turning belts solve these challenges by enabling flexible, compact, and high-precision transport paths.


Technical Advantages of 90° and 180° Turning Belt Systems

1. Space Optimization

Instead of long and linear conveyor routes, turning belts allow direction changes in a small footprint, maximizing use of factory space.

2. High-Accuracy Product Redirection

The specially engineered belt geometry ensures products remain stable during the turn — preventing shifting, jamming, or damage.

3. Seamless Integration

Turning modules can be integrated into:

  • Packaging lines

  • Food processing conveyors

  • Sorting systems

  • Assembly stations

  • Logistics and distribution centers

4. Enhanced System Efficiency

By shortening conveyor distances and eliminating unnecessary transitions, operational efficiency increases.

5. Adjustable Speed and Control

With digital inverter systems, turning conveyors offer:

  • Smooth acceleration and deceleration

  • Synchronized speed control

  • Energy-efficient operation

6. Hygienic and Easy to Maintain

Depending on the application, stainless steel or painted steel frame options provide durability and hygiene compliance.


Where Are 90° and 180° Turning Belt Systems Used?

Common industries include:

  • Plastics and injection molding

  • Food and beverage

  • Packaging

  • Pharmaceutical and chemical

  • Electronics

  • Logistics, cargo, and distribution

  • Automotive component production

  • E-commerce fulfillment systems

Wherever product flow must change direction without stopping — turning belt systems deliver a reliable solution.
