denirug ® heavy-duty supports
Energy consumption and wear and tear in modular belt
and standard belt conveyors increase substantially
when loads are heavier. denirug ® heavy-duty supports
replace wasteful sliding friction between belt and
support with rolling friction. As a result, they cut energy
consumption drastically, increase reliability and tap into
new areas for heavy-duty conveying.
The benefi ts of denirug ® heavy-duty supports:
– much lower energy costs
– less wear and tear
– more reliable operation and no maintenance
– greater conveying speed
– fewer transfer points and drive stations
– very low angles of inclination in gravity conveyors
– virtually any sizes of conveyor belt and low conveyor
heights at the same time
without denirug ®
µ = 0.2 – 0.3
with denirug ®
µ = 0.02 – 0.03
An experimental setup at TU Chemnitz produced
clear results: Using a denirug@ heavy-duty support
reduces the friction coeffi cient µ by around 90 %.

The denirug ® principle
Similarly to linear guidance systems, denirug ®
heavy-duty supports operate with axle-free continuous
rollers. Because the rollers are very strong and the pitch
between them small, the extremely smooth-running
system can withstand very heavy loads.

The basic denirug ® elements
Basic denirug ® elements are roller bearings ready to fi t
that can be combined to make rolling supports in virtually
any length and width. Integration into existing conveyors
is easy.
The basic denirug ® elements:
– are simply placed behind or next to one another on an
even surface and clamped, screwed or glued or affi xed
in other ways in the position required;
– Replace slider beds and sliding strips as supports for
modular and standard belt conveyors;
– Directly support heavy-duty loads.

The denirug ® modules
denirug ® modules are ready-for-use modular belt sections
with integrated basic denirug ® elements. Users can
combine them very easily to produce smooth-running
sections in almost any length and width.
The denirug ® modules:
– are affi xed behind or next to one another with special
adhesive tape or screws;
– can be combined to make closed surfaces which can
be walked on;
– offer heavy-duty loads full support;
– are often an alternative to live rollers;
– can reliably absorb high levels of transverse force.

Company profi le
Denipro AG whose headquarters are in Weinfelden (Switzerland),
produces well-engineered conveying technology which
sets the standard in integrated production logistics. The
manufacturing company specialises in the mass production
of chains and grippers and their assembly. Denipro AG also
uses effi cient processes, matched perfectly to the customer’s
requirement profi les, to manufacture components and subassemblies
for Ferag AG in Hinwil, Switzerland.
Using this know-how as a basis, Denipro AG develops and
constructs mass production components and modules for
the conveying technology industry. The conveying technology
used in new applications for rolling principles means that
friction resistances are being eliminated in many instances.
This opens up other sectors or industry outside the graphics
sector for the company.
WRH Walter Reist Holding AG is the owner of Denipro AG.
The company also owns Ferag AG and WRH Marketing AG
in Hinwil, Switzerland.
