Pallet handling conveyors are designed to move pallets and other heavy loads on belts, chains, pulleys, or rollers. They carefully and safely move large and heavy products to increase system throughput for industries using these large loads.
What do you know about pallet conveyor system? Below you will take you to understand the advantages and classification of pallet conveyors.
What is pallet conveyor ?
The pallet conveyor adopts heavy steel frame and light tray design. The gravity conveyor used for tray handling can be single wide roller or double force roller type, which has two narrow gravity roller tracks. Options such as brake roller and tray stopper can supply slowly or stop the tray when lowering. Our gravity tray conveyor is made of mild steel or stainless steel.
The tray conveyor systems is mainly used for production processing system to track products. The pallet has wide applicability and can control the operation of a single product during use. In addition to conveying products from one point to another, the stacked tray conveyor is also designed with zero pressure stacking function.
The zero-pressure pallet stacking conveyor uses the photo-eye control network of AC and DC motors to control the stacking area, which helps to prevent product damage and prolong the service life of the equipment
The tray conveyor system is divided into monorail pallet conveyor and double-gauge pallet conveyor. The monorail pallet conveyor is suitable for handling light and small products, while the dual-rail tray conveyor is more suitable for the transportation of large products.
Advantage of pallet conveyor system
Reduce labor load and improve operator safety;
High transportation efficiency and increased production;
It is practical and can be used in combination with various transportation systems
Classification of pallet conveyor
The tray conveyor system includes the following four categories：Accumulation Pallet Conveyors、Gravity Pallet Conveyors、Pallet Transfers & Turntables、High-Speed Pallet Transfer Cars.
- Accumulation Pallet Conveyors
The stacking pallet conveyor can control the pushing position at will, and the conveyor will transport these products to the stacking area. Stacking tray conveyor can transport products of various types, sizes and weights. In addition, it is also applicable to manual and machine equipment loading and unloading.
- Gravity Pallet Conveyors
The gravity pallet conveyor uses the friction between the weight of the transported product and the conveyor to realize movement. It does not need to install mobile parts and is easy to install and locate. It is most often used in the warehouse shipping and assembly area.
- Pallet Transfers & Turntables
Rotary table conveyors can be of 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 360 degrees. The turntable can be combined with various conveyors, the most common of which is the chain-driven electric roller conveyor. When the product needs to pass through the connection point, the transmission remains inactive. The power turntable with chain drive roller can ensure that the load can be redirected when the material flow lines intersect or change direction.
- High-Speed Pallet Transfer Cars
The tray transfer truck conveyor is suitable for long-distance transportation, and is often used to transfer or merge palletized products on multiple conveyor lines.
The transfer car can be powered by gear and rack drive. The power can be distributed through the distance and speed of the pallet transfer vehicle. It can accurately locate through coding.
Considerations
When choosing to use a tray conveyor, the following factors need to be considered:
- l Conveying space and route: curve, transfer
- l Type, size and weight of conveying products
- l Transportation environment: high temperature and low temperature
- l Transportation form: pallet type, skid-mounted type
The use of tray conveyor system can not only improve the throughput and flexibility of transporting and operating heavy objects, but also help to reduce the overall operating costs. In addition, it can also reduce the labor force of operators.
