"power and free" overhead conveyor
Hero-Fördertechnik
This type of conveyor separates the function support from the load of the function drive. A load can thus be uncoupled from the chain, deviated in a switch, then taken again by a secondary chain; in the same way, it's possible to accumulate loads without pressure by disconnecting them (a thrust disconnects the first carriage which itself by its presence disconnects the second). The Power+Free systems make it possible to solve complex problems of handling.
