Custom Cleated Timing Belts for Coin Transport in Self-checkout Equipment

 

Ydins develops conveyor solutions tailored to demanding industrial constraints. A standout example is its custom timing belts with cleats on the toothed face, engineered specifically to transfer coins inside cash-handling machines.


The engineering challenge: accuracy in tight envelopes

Cash equipment operates with limited space, small pulley radii and very narrow tolerances. Any deviation risks jams or misalignment. In practice, consistent throughput requires a belt and cleat design matched precisely to the machine geometry and duty cycle.


The Ydins solution: patented custom cleats

Ydins produces made-to-order cleated belts In this particular design, the cleats are inserted into the toothed part of the belt, and their profile is designed to pick up, guide, and release each coin at the precise moment along the conveyor’s length, ensuring continuous service.


Why custom cleats outperform standard guides

On automated lines, performance depends on how each cleat captures, conveys and hands off every unit. Off-the-shelf guides rarely match real dimensions, radii, inclines or friction conditions. A purpose-built cleat offers the most reliable route to efficiency across applications such as:

  • Cash management
  • Car Parks
  • Vending
  • Ticketing
  • Parts sorting
  • Automotive
  • Pharmaceutical & cosmetics
  • Recycling

Technical support from concept to approval

Working alongside the customer, the Ydins Technical Office defines cleat geometry, pitch, belt width and minimum working radius according to the machine layout. This approach speeds up validation and delivers a solution ready for production.


Parameters tuned to the end use

  • Exact structure and dimensions of belt and cleat
  • Hardness and stiffness suited to the handled product
  • Cleat colour for line visibility
  • Cleat attachment: welded or screwed to the belt
  • Option for interchangeable cleats to simplify maintenance
