The 3000 Series of the Alusic CS Line offers a complete range of components for modular chain conveyors, organized into four different types. Click on the image to learn more:
3010
3020
3030
3040

The modular chain used in the 3000 Series is one of the key elements of the system, thanks to its versatile design and wide adaptability to any line configuration.
The chain dimensions—in terms of width and length—can be freely defined and customized, allowing the creation of tailor-made conveyors and making the 3000 Series extremely flexible and modular.

Made from high-sliding materials, the chain ensures smooth and consistent movement, even at high speeds, guaranteeing efficiency and continuity of transport.
The modular design also allows quick maintenance or replacement of individual links, minimizing downtime and reducing management costs.
Thanks to its high resistance to chemicals and corrosion, the chain is particularly suitable for use in the food industry, where hygiene, durability, and long-term reliability are essential.

Modular chain conveyor components

S3010: components and specs

The components of the S3010 Series allow the construction of modular chain conveyors characterized by robustness, reliability, and adaptability, ideal for high-speed applications and curved paths.
The supporting structure consists of a modular beam in anodized aluminum, which makes it possible to achieve customizable and virtually unlimited lengths while ensuring both lightness and mechanical strength.
Standard curves are made using the same rolled profile, available with 90° and 180° radii, to ensure structural continuity and aesthetic uniformity throughout the entire conveying system.

S3020: components and specs

The components of the S3020 series represent a lighter and more compact solution for modular chain conveyor belts, designed to optimize space and minimize bulk within plants. While maintaining a lower load capacity compared to the S3010 series, the S3020 ensures high efficiency and continuous operation thanks to the reduced diameter of the head rollers, which eliminates the need for a return shaft and allows direct integration within machines or compact lines. The modular configuration enables the creation of both linear and curved solutions, offering wide design flexibility and adaptability to different production requirements.

S3030: components and specs

The S3030 series introduces components dedicated to the transport of heavy loads, using a reinforced chain based on the same architecture as the S3010.
It shares the same modular frame, but without the use of curves, to ensure maximum structural stability even in the most demanding applications.
Within the 3000 range, the S3030 stands out as the most robust, fastest solution with the highest load capacity, ideal for high-performance lines and continuous transport of heavy materials.

S3040: components and specs

The S3040 series introduces a special variant of the modular chain conveyor belt, specifically designed for the return shaft between the S3010 and S3030 conveyors.
This compact module can be installed directly on the head of another modular conveyor, from which it also receives the drive power, allowing continuous and precise product transfer between two lines.

Types of Motorization

Direct
Central

On the 3000 series, two different types of motorization can be installed, each designed for specific applications and requirements:

Direct motorization – standard solution, with the motor mounted directly on the drive shaft. It ensures greater stability and easy maintenance.

Central motorization – the central position of the motor frees the ends of the conveyor, making loading and unloading operations easier from both sides of the line.

Rolling knife edge

To reduce empty spaces between two conveyors within a transport line, the 3000 series integrates the 3040 conveyor, designed to ensure maximum continuity in product transfer. In traditional drive and return systems, the gap created between the heads can cause small items or those with an unstable center of gravity—such as cans, bottles, or flasks—to fall. The 3040 conveyor eliminates this risk, ensuring smooth, stable, and safe transfer of components along the entire line.

Accessories and Kits for Belt Conveyors

Side guides
Legs
Covers

Side Guides
Side guides channel the product flow along the path and prevent accidental falls. They are made of aluminum profile with a polyamide cover, while the ends can be finished with a simple cap or with a shaped lead-in, useful for centering and guiding the product flow.

Support Legs
These provide structural support for the conveyor and are available in single-column versions (for narrower conveyors) or double-column versions. They can be floor-mounted and connected with crossbars to ensure greater stability. The fixing bracket between the leg and the conveyor is designed to prevent dust and dirt accumulation, making the system suitable even for environments with high hygiene requirements, such as the food industry.

Protective Covers
Designed by Alusic for safety and cleanliness, covers protect sensitive or potentially hazardous parts of the conveyor, such as rotation pins and fixing flanges. In addition to improving aesthetics, they reduce wear and protect operators from risks, ensuring a safer and more durable system.

Kits for conveyors

Alusic has optimized its range of conveyor belt solutions by offering complete, ready-to-use kits for every type and size of conveyor.

These standard kits are designed to ensure quick and intuitive installation, allowing anyone to assemble their own conveyor easily and efficiently. The system is based on a clear modular logic, dividing the conveyor structure into: Frame, Drive Kit, Return Kit, Support Legs, Dedicated Accessories.

The heads are available in numerous variants, ensuring maximum versatility and adaptability to different application needs. With Alusic kits, creating a custom conveyor becomes an immediate, reliable, and accessible operation for everyone.
