Activated Roller Belt Conveyor – Precision Handling by Omtech Food Engineering

At Omtech Food Engineering, we specialize in advanced conveyor systems engineered to meet the evolving needs of the food processing and packaging industries. Our Activated Roller Belt (ARB) Conveyor is a cutting-edge solution designed for automated product handling, alignment, sorting, turning, and merging — all with minimal manual intervention.

An Activated Roller Belt Conveyor uses a series of embedded rollers within the belt surface that can be independently activated in different directions. This unique design enables the conveyor to perform complex tasks like 90° transfers, diverting, rotating, or aligning products — all on a single conveyor platform.

Manufacturer of ARB conveyor belt

Choosing Omtech’s Activated Roller Belt Conveyor means upgrading to a smarter, more efficient conveyor solution. Our systems help businesses reduce labor costs, increase productivity, and improve product flow with greater control and reliability. Whether you're managing a bakery line, a packaging station, or a pharmaceutical plant, our ARB technology delivers unmatched versatility and performance.

The ARB (Activated Roller Belt) Conveyor Belt is an innovative solution designed to handle complex product movements with ease and precision. Unlike traditional conveyor belts, ARB belts feature rollers embedded into the belt surface that can be selectively activated to move items in multiple directions — forward, sideways, or at angles. This unique design enables the conveyor to perform functions such as merging, sorting, turning, and aligning products without the need for additional machinery or manual handling.

Activated Roller Belt Technology

Activated Roller Belt (ARB) Technology is an advanced conveyor system innovation that enables intelligent product movement using belts embedded with freely rotating rollers. These rollers are strategically positioned and activated by underlying mechanisms, allowing controlled movement of items in multiple directions — including lateral shifts, rotations, merges, and 90° or 180° transfers — all on a single conveyor surface. Unlike traditional conveyors, ARB technology eliminates the need for additional devices like pushers or diverters, reducing mechanical complexity and saving valuable floor space.
