Conveyor design

          • quick belt change
          • high strength, rigidity

The “open side” stand design of this low-profile conveyor enables 2-minute belt changes. The high strength and rigidity of the steel conveyor frame and mount allows cantilever style mounting to just one side of the stand, permitting the legs on the opposite side to stop short of the conveyor frame, thereby eliminating obstructions to slide-on/off belt installation/removal. The conveyor does not have to be disassembled from the stand for belt change, which on conventional units can take from 45 minutes to 2 hours. The tail pulley mounting permits rapid de-tensioning. Side rails with brackets remove easily with optional quick-set knobs. The cantilever mounting is designed for belt widths up to 7½ in., and supplemental swing-away supports are available for wider conveyors. Configuration choices include end-drive, center-drive, cleated, magnetic, vacuum, high-temperature, high-speed, self-tracking and AccuMove precision indexing conveyors.

Flexible couplings

A wide range of standard sizes, materials and flexure (coil) variations is available as single piece, flexible couplings. End connections for specific applications are customizable, combining 2 pieces into a single construction. Helical couplings correct for misalignment, relieving stress on machinery for longer overall wear life. Steel, aluminum and other materials are available.

Pallet conveyor

Pallet Option 3200 series conveyors are used for securing or separating items on a conveyor for additional assembly or processing. These pallets typically are attached directly to the conveyor through pre-engineered holes on the conveyor’s belt. The pallet option is also available on the com-pany’s 2200 series conveyor line. All units are made-to-order.
