Belt Hoist ATHLO belt – Plastic Granulate Production – 1×1,6t

In plastic granulate production, large amounts of fine plastic particles accumulate in the air and place high stress on lifting equipment. Conventional chain hoists quickly reach their limits, as dust clogs the chains and makes them unusable within a short time. To ensure smooth operation, a reliable, clean and low-maintenance lifting solution is essential.

The belt hoist ATHLO belt reliably lifts and holds big bags filled with plastic granulate until they are completely emptied. Its belt-based lifting mechanism operates without lubrication, eliminating the main cause of contamination and downtime typically found with chain hoists in such environments. The belt hoist runs quietly, cleanly and consistently – even under the demanding conditions of granulate production.

Since the beginning of the year 2025, ATHLO belt has been in operation and has proven highly reliable. Based on these positive results, the operator now plans to gradually replace all chain hoists with belt hoists, increasing efficiency, extending service life, and significantly improving operational safety.

ELECTRIC BELT HOIST ATHLO belt

Two worlds, one solution. Belt hoists fully leverage their strengths both in harsh environments with high humidity or dust, as well as in areas where maximum cleanliness is required.

ATHLO belt offers a wide range of configuration options and can be perfectly adapted to your individual requirements. Belt-based versatility for loads up to 6.3 t.

Size 2 is certified for cleanroom class 7, features an electronic overload protection, and optionally enables exceptionally smooth and precise load handling thanks to stepless lifting speeds.

Reliable in any environment

Thanks to a lubricant-free belt, enclosed bearings, and optimally cleanable surfaces, it is ideal for cleanrooms as well as dusty and humid environments.

Noticeably smoother operation

No polygon effect and therefore uniform motion and maximum smoothness, even with long extension arms.

Stepless precision

Frequency inverter enables sensitive positioning and gentle load handling. It allows fast load handling as well as smooth, controlled movements when required.
