Hytrol Introduces the Tri-Lane Slat Conveyor
Thursday, April 10, 2008
Special needs require special kinds of conveyors. This unit was designed to handle long rolls of material up to 30" in diameter and up to 4000 lbs. The conveyor features 3 parallel slat units, common driven from a single shaft mounted Eurodrive.
Rolls begin in the rolling equipment and are moved onto a weighscale conveyor
prior to stretch wrapping. The index conveyor has a "buffer" of four zones. The
conveyor is reversible so that it can deliver a single roll, or reverse to pick up
additional rolls in consecutive zones.
The slats on the unit are set high in the frame. A line of 4" high rubber bumpers
keep the rolls in their respective zones. The conveyor is sloped slightly to add
stability during handling of the rolls.
