PVC GUIDE T50 belt attached with protection to prevent products from falling out.
🔧 PVC Guide T50 – Conveyor Belt Tracking Guide
The PVC Guide T50 is a T-shaped profile (also called a tracking guide) that is welded to the underside of a conveyor belt. It helps the belt stay aligned during operation by running inside a groove (track) on the conveyor system’s frame. The “T50” refers to the width of the base, which is 50 mm.
✅ Purpose of PVC Guide T50:
- ✔️ Keeps the belt centered — prevents misalignment or edge damage
- ✔️ Improves tracking performance — especially on long or high-speed conveyors
- ✔️ Reduces belt wear — prolongs belt lifespan
- ✔️ Essential in curve conveyors, reversible systems, or those with side loading
