The many advantages of plastic modular belts
Newtop Engineering’s LINK range of plastic modular belts boasts over 20 years of proven performance in the industry. Our portfolio includes more than 150 different belt styles in a variety of material and color combinations.
Newtop LINK plastic modular belts offer numerous benefits, including long lifespan, high strength, and ease of repair and maintenance.
Why NewtopLINK?
Positive Drive and Tracking
Plastic modular belts from Newtop Engineering do not require pre-tensioning and are unaffected by mistracking issues often caused by inadequate conveyor design or heavy contamination. The positive drive provided by sprockets prevents belt slippage and ensures smooth operation, resulting in significantly reduced maintenance and downtime.
Resistance to Extreme Conditions
Newtop plastic modular belts operate safely and reliably across a wide range of conditions and temperatures, from -70°C to +240°C. The Newtop LINK product range offers solutions for extreme temperature variations, high humidity, aggressive chemicals, cutting operations, product impact, high speeds, and abrasive environments.
Quick Repair and Maintenance
While it is uncommon for plastic modular belts to require maintenance or repair, if necessary, they can be easily opened using simple tools like a screwdriver. Repairs can be completed quickly without the need to replace the entire belt, minimizing downtime. Additionally, since plastic modular belts do not require lubrication, no extra maintenance is needed.
Suitable for Aggressive Chemical Agents
In food applications, belt sanitation is crucial for meeting customer safety requirements. To maintain high safety standards, all equipment and belts must be thoroughly cleaned with aggressive detergents before being rinsed.
Newtop LINK engineered plastic materials provide exceptional resistance to the cleaning agents commonly used in the food industry.
Longer Lifetime
Under standard conditions, plastic modular belts typically have an extended lifespan, lasting for years with minimal maintenance and no decline in performance.
High Strength
Compared to other belting solutions, plastic modular belts offer superior strength, making them capable of handling the most demanding industrial applications. They are also suitable for accumulation and diverting tasks, which can impact the performance and longevity of other belting options.
Wide Range of Surfaces
Newtop LINK plastic modular belts come in a diverse array of surfaces to deliver the specific properties needed for various applications. From flush grid to roller top, there is a surface option that will meet the requirements of your belting application.

Ready for industry challenges
Impact resistance
Plastic modular belts must be able to withstand impacts on their top surfaces. While standard plastic materials generally provide good overall resistance under these conditions, some heavy-duty applications require specialized solutions to ensure the belt remains fully operational and to prevent unwanted downtime. Newtop LINK plastic modular belts offer a wide variety of specific solutions designed to enhance the belts’ resistance to product impacts on the surface.
Chemical resistance
In food applications, belt sanitation is essential for meeting customer safety requirements. To uphold high safety standards, all equipment and belts must be thoroughly cleaned with aggressive detergents and then rinsed completely. Newtop LINK materials provide exceptional resistance to the cleaning agents commonly used in the food industry. Certain industrial processes can be particularly harsh on plastic materials. One of the most aggressive environments is found in the filling, testing, charging, and handling of car batteries, which contain sulfuric acid.
Wide temperature range
To maintain food properties and extend shelf life, several key industrial processes involve freezing products. Product freezing typically requires ambient temperatures around -35°C or lower. To meet these demanding conditions, Newtop LINK modular belt ranges offer material solutions that perform effectively within this temperature range. The food-compliant material POM is commonly used for freezing applications down to -40°C. For even more extreme freezing processes, the PE material can operate at temperatures as low as -70°C.
Tight transfers
Transferring products from one conveyor to another can be challenging, especially when dealing with light, small-footprint, and unstable items. As the transfer diameter decreases, the passage becomes more critical. For very small product transfers, fabric belts are often used because they enable small knife-edge transfers. However, in many cases, this solution may not be feasible due to concerns such as belt tracking, potential belt slippage, and application conditions that do not permit the use of fabric belts.
