The Most Rugged Conveyor in the SteelTrak Family
Some scrap handling applications destroy ordinary conveyors. Large die castings crashing onto the belt. Heavy forgings dropping from transfer presses. Steel stampings the size of car hoods sliding off a blanking line. The SteelTrak™ 760 is built for these applications—the heaviest, most structurally robust conveyor NLECO manufactures, designed to power through extreme-duty scrap loads shift after shift without the structural failures that sideline lesser machines.
Where the SteelTrak 750/751 uses a 4″ pitch in a formed 10-gauge frame, the 760 steps up to a 6″ pitch belt in a structural C-channel frame with a standard 3 HP motor—a fundamentally different construction class that puts the 760 in the same extreme-duty territory as the Titan Model 660 while bringing NLECO’s TruTrak technology and SteelTrak engineering standards to the application.
Structural C-Channel Frame Construction
The 760 frame is structural steel C-channel (3″ x 4.1# x 21¾” deep)—not formed sheet steel like the lighter SteelTrak models or even the 10-gauge formed frame on the 750/751. Structural C-channel provides superior rigidity, resistance to deflection under heavy belt loads, and the ability to span longer unsupported distances without sagging. A 7-gauge formed frame option is also available for applications where the structural channel exceeds the requirement.
The frame depth is 21¾”—the deepest in the SteelTrak lineup. Standard supports are structural C-channel (6″ x 8.2#), matching the frame’s industrial-grade construction. The frame width is belt width plus 11¼”.
Belt and Roller Construction
The 760 belt is a 6″ pitch hinged steel design with 4″ high cleats on 48″ centers and 7-gauge x 4″ high sidewings. The 3″ diameter x 1.5″ flanged TruTrak rollers are the largest in the SteelTrak lineup, providing massive contact area, smooth belt travel, and built-in belt tracking that eliminates the frame-damaging side-to-side sway found on conventional extreme-duty conveyors. Outside sidebars are standard.
Standard belt widths range from 12″ to 72″ with custom widths available. Minimum conveyor length is 8 feet. Standard infeed length is 60″ (minimum 36″), and standard discharge length is 60″.
Drive and Motor
The 760 is the only SteelTrak model with a 3 HP standard motor (230/460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz, TEFC)—reflecting the power demands of a 6″ pitch belt carrying extreme-duty loads up inclines and over long horizontal runs. The 2-15/16″ drive shaft and 6-tooth x 12″ P.D. sprocket provide the torque and belt engagement needed for reliable operation at maximum load. Standard speed is 30 FPM.
Full-Length Access Panels Standard
Access panels along the full length of the conveyor are standard on the 760—not an option. In extreme-duty environments, the conveyor accumulates chips, debris, and coolant residue faster than lighter-duty models. Full-length access panels allow maintenance crews to inspect, clean, and service the belt, rollers, and pan without disassembling the conveyor, reducing maintenance time and increasing uptime in demanding multi-shift operations. Take-up at the infeed and 7-gauge side rails are also standard.
SteelTrak 760 vs. Titan 660
Both conveyors serve the extreme-duty 6″ pitch application tier. The 760 uses a structural C-channel frame, TruTrak flanged rollers, 3 HP standard motor, full-length access panels as standard, and the SteelTrak accessory ecosystem. The Titan 660 uses a 7-gauge formed frame (21″ or 25″ deep), ¼” thick apron, ¼” thick radial sidewings, double outside sidebars, and ¾ HP standard motor with options to 7½ HP.
The 760 leads with structural frame rigidity, TruTrak belt tracking, and standard access panels. The 660 leads with apron thickness (¼” vs. standard gauge) and maximum motor HP options.

Applications
The 760 is specified for foundry shake-out and casting scrap removal, large stamping press blanking and slug discharge, forging hammer and press scrap, die-casting operations producing large sprues, runners, and reject castings, centralized plant-wide scrap collection and recycling systems, shredder and baler infeed applications, and any metalworking process that produces the heaviest, most impact-intensive scrap loads in the facility.
