T5 Power & Free conveyor specifications:

Max. load bar weight: up to 5000 kg*

General description

The T5 Power & Free overhead conveyor is a twin-track suspended system designed for handling heavy loads. The upper track houses the power chain while the lower track supports carrier trolleys. Pusher dogs mounted at regular pitch on the power chain engage removable cams on the trolleys to form an interlink connection, enabling controlled pull-in, release and buffering of carriers.

Stop stations and switches

Stop stations (available in standard, ATEX or high-temperature versions for curing ovens) are controlled and monitored by the conveyor's main control system. A closed stop station disengages the link between the power chain and the trolley, allowing the chain to continue while the trolley remains stationary and multiple carriers to accumulate behind the station. Switches are fitted where carriers must divert; they are actuated by pneumatic cylinders with position sensors and can be self-switching depending on layout. All are integrated into the main control system.

Drive mechanism and safety

Drive units are selected according to conveyor type and application and can be a caterpillar (track) drive or a helical-screw drive. For safety, each drive unit is fitted with a torque limiter that disconnects the driving force between the gearmotor and the drive in case of overload.

Advantages

• Compact bolted track design for on-site assembly without welding.
• Modular system with standard parts for flexible layout planning.
• High-quality moving components within the track for reliable continuous operation.
• Advanced PLC-based control with touchscreen interface and remote access.

Special components and options

Optional equipment includes an automatic lubrication unit to reduce wear of chain links and bearings by timed lubrication. Other available components: lift-and-drop sections, transfer chains, product rotation units and integrations with dipping-tank crane systems that remove and rehang products on carriers after processing.

Technical specifications

• Max. load bar weight: up to 5000 kg (total weight including load bar; depends on trolley configuration).
• Twin-track configuration: upper track for power chain, lower track for carrier trolleys.
• Pusher dogs on the power chain with removable cams on trolleys for interlink connection.
• Stop stations: standard, ATEX, high-temperature (for curing ovens); allow buffering while chain continues to move.
• Switches: pneumatic cylinders with position sensors; can be self-switching depending on layout.
• Drive options: caterpillar drive unit or helical-screw drive unit; all drives include torque limiters.
• Optional lubrication unit for automatic lubrication of chain links and bearings.
• Optional mechanical components: lift/drop sections, transfer chains, product rotation units, dipping-tank crane integrations.
• Modular, bolted track design for easy assembly and flexible layout planning.
• Advanced PLC-based control system with touchscreen interface and remote access.
