Description
Capacity: 5,000 lbs. per pallet, bin, or IBC load
Use: For conveying and indexing pallets, IBC’s, totes, bins, etc.
Material: Stainless, carbon, or galvanized steel construction
Overview
This pallet conveyor line was built for food-grade and wash-down environments where it received and conveyed pallet loads of drums from a filling system. Both of the powered conveyors include a wash down duty drive and special UHMW guides on each powered roller to prevent contamination. The accumulation at the end is gravity roller conveyor. Chain driven live roller conveyor is commonly used for transporting, accumulating and transferring heavy loads, like pallets, bins and totes. Gravity roller conveyors are used primarily for low-cost accumulation.
Description of Operation
Powered roller conveyors require that bottom boards and runners of a pallet, tote, or bin run in the direction of travel
- This unit is a transport conveyor connected in a line with other similar units
- A pallet, or bin is placed onto the infeed end of this transport line by fork truck
- Each load will convey onto the next ten foot conveyor, to the end of the line
- At the end, pallet loads transfer to another conveyor or are picked-up by fork lift
