Forbo Siegling’s new Prolink Beltfinder app suggests right modular belt

Forbo Siegling’s Prolink Beltfinder app allows mobile device users to find the right plastic modular belt from the Prolink range for their applications. The free app is smartphone- and tablet-friendly and only available on Forbo Siegling’s website at
www.prolink-finder.com

Further selections restrict the number of belt types recommended and displayed. This factor makes searches easy and avoids long and confusing lists of results. For example if the Radius Top belt surface is selected, more searches only reveal materials and colours obtainable with the surface.

The right match for the conveyor

For example, when the length and width of the belt, conveying speed and capacity are entered, the Prolink Beltfinder displays the suggested belt types. Even if just a few search parameters are submitted, the app offers reliable belt recommendations quickly. After selecting a proposed belt type, the search query can be sent directly by e-mail to the appropriate contact at Forbo Siegling. The Prolink Beltfinder is always up to date because new belt types or accessories in the Prolink product range are immediately transferred to the app.
