Side Grip Conveyor with Bottomless Design and Adjustable Side Belts for Variable

The Side Grip Conveyor is a specialized bottle handling and transfer system designed to securely hold containers from both sides while leaving the bottom area fully exposed. It is widely used in automatic filling, capping, labeling, coding, inspection, and packaging lines where bottles need to be transferred smoothly without bottom support.

As an Automatic Side Grip Conveyor, this equipment uses two synchronized side belts to clamp and carry bottles forward. Because the bottle bottom remains open during transfer, it is especially suitable for bottom coding, inkjet printing, laser marking, date coding, bottom inspection, and production line transfer between two conveyors.

The Bottle Gripper Conveyor can handle round bottles, square bottles, flat bottles, plastic bottles, glass bottles, jars, cans, and other containers, depending on the bottle shape and stability. It can be used as a Bottle Side Grip Conveyor, Side Belt Transfer Conveyor, Bottomless Conveyor, or Bottomless Side Belt Conveyor according to different production applications.

For manufacturers that need stable bottle transfer, accurate positioning, and bottom access during production, this Hugger Belt Conveyor provides a compact, reliable, and efficient solution. It can work independently or be integrated into a complete automatic bottle packaging line.

• Stable Side Grip Bottle Transfer

  The Side Grip Conveyor uses two parallel side belts to gently hold bottles from both sides. This helps prevent bottle shaking, falling, or misalignment during transfer, especially when handling lightweight or unstable containers.

  Bottomless Conveyor Design

  As a Bottomless Conveyor, the machine leaves the bottom of the bottle exposed during conveying. This makes it ideal for bottom printing, bottom coding, laser marking, barcode printing, batch number printing, and bottom inspection.

  Suitable for Bottom Coding Applications

  The Bottom Coding Conveyor allows an inkjet printer, laser coder, or marking device to access the bottom of the bottle while the bottle is moving. This is very useful when the production date, batch number, QR code, or traceability code needs to be printed on the bottom surface.

  Adjustable Side Belt Structure

  The side belt width and height can be adjusted according to bottle diameter, bottle height, and container shape. This allows the Bottle Side Grip Conveyor to handle different bottle formats with flexible changeover.

  Smooth and Synchronized Belt Movement

  The two side belts run in a synchronized way to ensure smooth bottle movement. Proper belt synchronization helps reduce bottle rotation, sliding, and unstable transfer during production.

  Easy Integration with Packaging Lines

  The Side Belt Transfer Conveyor can be installed between filling machines, capping machines, labeling machines, coding machines, inspection systems, and carton packing equipment. It is commonly used as a transition unit in automatic bottle packaging lines.

  Compact and Space-Saving Design

  The Hugger Belt Conveyor has a compact structure and can be installed in limited workshop space. It is suitable for production lines where bottom access is needed without adding a large machine footprint.

  Gentle Bottle Handling

  The side belts grip the bottle with controlled pressure, helping protect bottle surfaces from scratches, deformation, or damage. This is especially important for cosmetic bottles, glass bottles, premium packaging containers, and printed bottles.

  Variable Speed Control

  The conveyor speed can be adjusted according to the production line speed and coding requirements. Stable speed control helps improve printing accuracy, bottle spacing, and overall line coordination.

  Customizable for Different Applications

  The Hugger Belt Transfer Conveyor can be customized according to bottle size, bottle shape, line speed, printing equipment, and installation layout. It can be designed for bottom coding, bottle transfer, conveyor gap bridging, inspection, or special handling requirements.

• 1. What is a Side Grip Conveyor?

  A Side Grip Conveyor is a bottle transfer conveyor that uses two side belts to hold and transport containers while leaving the bottom of the bottle exposed. It is commonly used for bottom coding, bottle transfer, and production line connection.

• 2. What is the difference between a Side Grip Conveyor and a regular conveyor?

  A regular conveyor supports bottles from the bottom, while a Bottle Gripper Conveyor holds bottles from the sides. This allows the bottle bottom to remain open for coding, inspection, or transfer between conveyors.

• 3. What is a Bottomless Conveyor used for?

  A Bottomless Conveyor is used when the bottom of the container must be accessible during production. Typical applications include bottom inkjet coding, laser marking, bottom labeling, barcode printing, and bottom inspection.

• 4. Can this conveyor be used for bottle bottom coding?

  Yes. The Bottom Coding Conveyor is designed to expose the bottle bottom during conveying, allowing inkjet printers, laser coders, or marking systems to print production dates, batch numbers, QR codes, or traceability information on the bottom.

• 5. What bottles can the Bottle Side Grip Conveyor handle?

  The Bottle Side Grip Conveyor can handle plastic bottles, glass bottles, jars, cans, round bottles, square bottles, flat bottles, and other containers. The final suitability depends on bottle size, shape, material, and stability.

• 6. Is the side belt width adjustable?

  Yes. The side belts can be adjusted according to bottle diameter or bottle width. The belt height can also be adjusted to match different bottle heights and gripping positions.

• 7. Can this Side Belt Transfer Conveyor connect two production machines?

  Yes. The Side Belt Transfer Conveyor can be used to transfer bottles between two conveyors or between different packaging machines. It is commonly used as a transition conveyor in automatic bottle production lines.

• 8. What is a Hugger Belt Conveyor?

  A Hugger Belt Conveyor is another name for a side grip conveyor. It uses two side belts to “hug” or grip the bottle from both sides and move it forward smoothly.

• 9. Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?

  Yes. The Automatic Side Grip Conveyor can be equipped with variable speed control. The speed can be adjusted to match the production line, coding machine, or inspection equipment.

• 10. What information is needed for a quotation?

  To recommend the right Bottomless Side Belt Conveyor, please provide bottle photos, bottle size, bottle material, bottle shape, required line speed, application purpose, and whether it will be used for bottom coding, bottle transfer, or machine connection. Based on this information, we can design a suitable Bottle Transfer Conveyor for your production line.
