How minimum pressure accumulation conveyor works:
The driving of the
tread rollers on minimum pressure conveyor is accomplished
with the top surface of a standard section endless V-belt. The strength and
wear qualities of the tread rollers and this belt have been thoroughly tested
for continuous duty. To maintain the driving of the tread roller, the
pressure roller is mounted in spring-adjusted carriers which sense the
required driving friction regardless of the length of the accumulated load. The
pressure can be maintained constantly to give a 2% minimum back pressure in
either forward or reverse direction.
In the event of extreme changes in the load (weight of box or package),
convenient knurled thumb adjusting nuts can be turned to accept a heavier load.
This method eliminates the need for selecting proper tension spring holes in
trigger mechanisms or jogging cleats on driving belt and eccentric (off center)
tread rollers. By maintaining a constant minimum pressure on the tread rollers,
long loads may be conveyed, accumulated, or stopped in the conveyor at any point
using very little motor horsepower and giving practically no pressure between
boxes or packages.
Width
Accumulation conveyor width is measured in two ways; overall width and between rail width. Overall width includes the width of the frame, which is 1" on either side of the rollers. This means that the between rail width would be 2" less than the overall width of the conveyor. Keep this in mind when determining what width of conveyor you need to meet your package requirements.
Shipping
Conveyor is crated and shipped in 5ft and 10ft sections, depending on the overall length of the conveyor, and will need to be bolted together on-site. The drive assembly, reducer, and motor will shipped attached to one of these sections. Because these sections are unattached for shipping, the conveyor belt itself will also have to be attached onsite. Please note that this conveyor DOES NOT include electrical components or switches.
