Chain transport system

driven rollerindustrial

In this application, an automatic transport system for refractory bricks (from the brick press to stacking on the dispatch pallet) was individually designed for the customer. 1. Functions of trolley transport After the stone press, the stones are on special pallets, which are stacked in trolleys. The chain transfer unit with magnetic coupling is used to transport the trolleys of up to 12 t. The chain transfer is installed next to the transport section, the carriage is modified for lateral conveying. With this solution we have successfully combined the technology of the chain transfer unit, proven in the field of conveyor technology, with our experiences in magnetic clamping technology in the field of welding fixtures. The cross shuttle cars are on rails and transport or distribute both empty and full trolleys to the different process lines. Pusher units are used to pick up and deliver the trolleys. Advantages of this solution • A magnetic gripping unit enables to pick up the trolley from an inaccurate starting position • Fine positioning precise to the millimeter • Low maintenance • Also works in dirty environments 2. Functions of the palletizing line With the unloading gantry, the trolleys are automatically unloaded from bottom to top. The gantry can be moved horizontally and vertically. By turning the forks on the gantry, the pallets are placed on the chain conveyor. A driven roller conveyor (also serves as buffer section) takes over the full pallet and transports it to the manual deposit station.
