Maximum-Capacity Scrap Conveyor for the Most Severe Industrial Applications
There are scrap handling applications that push past what a 4″ pitch belt can deliver. Foundry shake-out lines, large-tonnage stamping presses, forging hammer discharge, heavy die-casting operations, and centralized industrial recycling systems produce scrap volumes and part sizes that demand the largest, heaviest hinged steel belt conveyor available. The Titan Model 660 is that conveyor—the top of Titan’s lineup, built with ¼” thick steel throughout and rated for 8,900 lbs of chain pull.
Where the Model 640 handles heavy-duty requirements with its 4″ pitch and 6,000 lb belt pull, the 660 steps beyond with a 6″ pitch, 7-gauge frame, wider belt options up to 96″, and the structural mass to survive years of continuous operation in the harshest metalworking and recycling environments.
Belt Construction and Chain Pull
The Model 660 belt is built at a scale that sets it apart from every other model in Titan’s hinged steel belt line. The 6″ pitch apron is ¼” thick steel—not 10-gauge or 12-gauge, but a full quarter inch of plate. The radial sidewings are also ¼” thick, uniquely designed to reduce the gap between sidewing and apron to virtually eliminate chip carryover while maintaining the ruggedness to handle the most severe impact loading.
The belt rides on 3″ diameter, bushed, single-flanged rollers—substantially larger than the 2″ cast iron rollers on the Model 640. Double outside sidebars and a ¾” thru axle complete the drive train, delivering an allowable chain pull of 8,900 lbs. This is nearly 50% more than the Model 640 and almost triple the maximum available on the 2½” pitch models.
The 6-tooth drive sprocket uses a 12″ pitch diameter—the largest in the Titan line—providing smooth, high-torque engagement even under maximum belt load. Standard drive is ¾ HP (230/460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz), with options for 1, 1½, 2, 3, 5, and 7½ HP motors. Single-phase, 575V three-phase, TEFC, severe duty, inverter duty, and brake motor configurations are available.
Frame Construction
The Model 660 frame is formed from 7-gauge steel—the heaviest frame gauge in Titan’s conveyor portfolio. Standard frame depth is 21″, with a 25″ deep option for applications requiring additional structural capacity or larger infeed openings. This is a significant step up from the 15″ deep, 10-gauge frame on the Model 640 and dramatically heavier than the 2½” pitch models.
Standard belt widths range from 12″ to 96″. At the widest configuration, this conveyor can handle full-width shake-out discharge, large stamping press blanking scrap, or centralized collection from multiple machine lines feeding into a single recycling conveyor. Four frame configurations accommodate horizontal runs, inclined discharge, below-grade infeed, and combination layouts.
Standard curves of 30, 45, and 60 degrees are available, and the frame supports liquid-tight bottom pan construction for coolant-laden scrap applications.
Belt Styles and Options
The standard ¼” thick plain apron handles general heavy scrap. Additional apron styles include perforated, pimpled, combination perforated-and-pimpled, welded barrels, and impact plates. Custom cleat heights and cleat center spacing are available for applications where scrap retention on inclines or controlled discharge timing is critical. Segmented belts and plastic belt alternatives can be specified for non-standard applications.
The full Titan accessory catalog is available for the Model 660, including top mount, side mount, and bottom mount drive locations, fixed and variable speed control, zero-speed switches, impact rails on the infeed frame, T-slot bearings, customized side rails, infeed hoppers, custom infeed hoppers, rotating adjustable discharge chutes, casters, liquid-tight bottom pans, coolant tanks, pumps, drain plugs, top covers, inspection panels, quench tanks, oilers, heavy-duty lift rings for crane installation, VFD controls, E-stop, photo eyes, and 24V DC circuitry. Custom paint colors are available.
Applications for the Model 660
The Model 660 is specified when the application exceeds the capacity of a 4″ pitch conveyor. Typical installations include foundry shake-out and casting line scrap removal, large-tonnage stamping press blanking and slug discharge, forging hammer and press scrap evacuation, heavy die-casting sprue and runner removal, centralized plant scrap collection and recycling systems, and shredder or baler infeed conveyors in metal recycling operations.
The combination of 8,900 lb chain pull, belt widths to 96″, ¼” thick construction throughout, and 7-gauge frame makes the 660 the conveyor of choice for operations where downtime is measured in thousands of dollars per hour and the scrap itself can weigh hundreds of pounds per piece.
Titan Hinged Steel Belt Conveyor Lineup at a Glance
The complete Titan hinged steel belt family spans five models. The Model 610 (2½” pitch, 12-gauge frame) handles light-duty chip removal. The Model 620 (2½” pitch, 10-gauge, low profile) fits tight-space machine-tool installations. The Model 630 (2½” pitch, 10-gauge, full profile) provides more configuration flexibility and chain pull. The Model 640 (4″ pitch, 10-gauge, 15″ deep frame) steps into heavy-duty stamping and machining scrap. And the Model 660 (6″ pitch, 7-gauge, 21–25″ deep frame) handles the most extreme scrap loads in metalworking and recycling.
