Pallet Conveyor Systems And Their Models
2
To quickly get a product from one area to
another, most facilities use conveyors. Conveyors
are found in many factories that use the assembly
line method to order products. However, conveyors
have many uses and are not just restricted to an
assembly line production facility.
3
Pallet conveyors, also known as palletized
transport systems, are used to move pallets from
one area to another for a variety of purposes and
come in four styles. These styles are the belt
conveyor, roller conveyor, the chain conveyor and
the cam driven.
4
All four styles have the ability to move heavily
loaded pallets without much difficulty. However,
the most common styles that are used are the
roller and the chain. Some will even use a
combination of the roller and the chain
conveyors.
5
Roller and chain styles can be assembled to a
specification that is needed. The more standard
sizes however are with the width ranging from a
few inches to 12 ft and length ranging from 5 ft
and 8 ft.
6
Although it is not rare to see either of these
conveyors reaching a length as high as 40 ft. The
pallet conveyors are designed with a common width
size of 36 inches to 60" to accommodate the
common pallet sizes. 4-gauge steel channels are
used for the frames for both styles of conveyors.
7
For the roller conveyors the rollers are
constructed of 11 gauge steel and are typically 2
1/2 in diameter. The speeds will also vary with
typical speeds being from 30 to 60 feet per
second. For those that want it, a speed of 150
feet per second can be obtained.
8
The spacing between the rollers range from 3
inches to 12 inches. For the chain conveyor sizes
run from RC 40, 50, 60 or 80. The 80 size is the
heaviest duty of the chain conveyors. The drive
of the chains is from 1/4 HP to 5 HP.
9
The horsepower motors are commonly 3 phases but a
single-phase motor can be acquired. For those
that use a combination of roller and chain
conveyors a cross transfer is used.
10
This cross transfer will move the pallet 90
degrees from one style of conveyor to the next,
either starting on a roller and ending on a chain
or starting on a chain and ending on a roller.
Either way the cross transfer works the same way
only in reverse.
11
If moving from the rollers to chain the chain
section will be lowered and when moving from
chain to roller the chain section will be raised.
To keep the roller and chain pallet conveyors
moving smoothly they must be lubricated.
12
The downside with this is that build-up can
occur. Build-up can cause the conveyor to fail to
move the pallets as smoothly as possible. To cut
down on build-up, they should be cleaned
regularly and new lubricant placed on them. This
can cut into productivity and therefore should be
preformed routinely.
