The mk Technology Group, an innovative supplier of standardised modules and components for the plant and special machine building sectors, presents the new mk INOX stainless steel conveyor. With this, mk has twinned the special requirements in the pharmaceutical and food industry for sterile working environ-ments with the modularisation principles which have already proved their worth in aluminium profile tech-nology.
Sven Saynisch, project manager at Maschinenbau Kitz, explains: "The mk INOX belt conveyors, roller conveyors and flat top chain conveyors are made from stainless steel. Thanks to their open construction, all modules can be thoroughly cleaned, quickly and easily. Assembling stands, side guides and accesso-ries and integrating them in existing machine frames is no problem whatsoever. An extensive range of FDA-conforming conveyor belts, conveyor rollers and flat top chain conveyors rounds off the range."

The mk INOX belt conveyor has an internal belt return which acts as intervention protection. In addition, as a result the belt conveyor can be placed on a large flat surface without stands or a base. Belts can be quickly changed using an optionally available swing mechanism in the belt body. Convex crowned drive rolls and tails also make belt adjustment easy. The individual belt speed and load, clearance contour and maintenance cost requirements are serviced by different drive arrangements and a coordinated motor range.
Various beam profiles for different weight classes are available for mk INOX gravity roller conveyors. As a standard, the beam profiles are notched to hold the rollers so that protruding rollers enable extra wide workpieces to be conveyed. On request, the notching will be made in such a way that the beam profiles simultaneously serve as side rails.
The mk INOX flat top chain conveyors can be used for any combination of straight sections, sliding and rolling curves, transfer segments and bends required. The conveyors are supplemented by side rails con-forming to FDA specifications.

mk INOX conveyor technology also offers the tried and tested advantages of the mk modular system: For example, simplification of the system project planning through modular design and compatibility as well as top material quality for high load-bearing capacity and long life.
