Pallet conveyor

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 Pallet Conveyor uses integrated unit load conveyor technology to handle pallets, skids, tubs, or rolling carts. It transports loads efficiently and effectively, providing a full range of modules that converge to create a highly efficient material flow configuration. This conveyor technology is often integrated with other devices such as pallet automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), palletisers, and stretch wrap machines. Applications • Buffer inbound pallets • Outbound pallet flow from palletiser and stretch wrapper • Pallet flow between a production plant and a warehouse • Pallet in-feed and out-feed to an AS/RS • Deliver and accumulate pallets at decanting (transfer cases from pallets to totes) workstations • Deliver and accumulate pallets at case picking good-to-person workstations • Robotic palletising to deliver and remove pallets • Accumulate pallets at inbound and outbound operations • Pick-up and drop-off accumulation stations for automated guided vehicles Key Attributes • Variety of functions: transport, accumulate, divert, rotate, tilt • Accommodates pallets, skids, tubs, wheeled carts • Universal side channel • Standard components common to all conveyor modules • Standard control modules connected with standard CAN bus
