Greater flow control
March 1st 2007 A new accumulation chain conveyor being introduced by Excel Automation meets a growing need for organisations wanting to bring greater flow control over palletised or skid mounted loads, by allowing individual or multiple loads to accumulate and only be released when required. Product flow is normally controlled by PLC, but can also be manually controlled via pushbuttons or similar. The new chain conveyor called Accu-Flow is a modular design enabling a multitude of lengths and widths to be built easily to suit specific applications whilst the drive mechanism remains constant, with the drive motor being rated to suit the conveyor loading criteria. The conveyor can be provided with either two individual chains for small pallets, or a multitude of drive chains for larger / heavier loads. More articles from Excel Automation Limited: |
