Increasing throughput and capacity requirements, shorter processing times, and rising operational costs are driving the production and distribution managers to consider automation such as conveyor systems. The task of processing large quantities of conveyable inventory — cartons, cases, totes, bags, and stuffed envelopes — to pallets, skids, gaylords, tubs, and wheeled carts is ideal for convey and sort automation. Dematic Embedded Towline Conveyor is a fixed path transport system for continuous flow applications. Each system is configured according to the layout and throughput rate requirements of the operation. Embedded towline systems consist of a main loop and sidetracks. Systems automatically transports materials to destinations using carriers connected to the in-floor chain conveyor. The system is used in production and distribution operations: warehouses, distribution centres, cross-docking centres, parcel sorting centres, and manufacturing assembly plants. The system is ideal for continuous transport requirements. Applications • Replace repetitive forklift truck transport • Replace manual movement of loads • Continuous transport between functional areas • Transport of heavy and difficult-to-move loads • Assembly platform for production lines • Link between production cells • Supply and remove materials at workstations • Connect production and distribution Key Attributes • Integrated into and below floor surface • Constant speed • High throughput • Easy to operate and manage • Barcode and RFID carrier tracking
