Which Conveyor is Also Called Pallet Type Conveyor?
Pallet conveyor is a kind of conveying equipment that uses pallets as a carrier. It places goods on pallets through a series of conveyor belts, chains or rollers, and transports them continuously or intermittently. People use pallet conveyors widely in warehouses, production lines, logistics centers and other occasions to achieve fast and stable transportation of goods. So pallet conveyors are including some belt conveyors, chain conveyors, roller conveyors that will work with pallets.
What Application You Use a Chain Conveyor for?
When considering the use of a chain conveyor, it is essential to understand its strengths and limitations. Chain conveyors are ideal for moving heavy products from one location to another with ease. Their simplicity and exceptional durability make them a reliable choice for various industries.
The flexibility of chain conveyors allows for both continuous and indexing modes. In indexing mode, the chain stops and starts using a sensor to move products to the end of the chain, providing precise positioning and control.
If the need arises to change the speed of the conveyor, a chain conveyor equipped with a variable frequency drive offers a simple solution. Adjusting the speed becomes effortless, enhancing operational efficiency.
Remember: Don’t Use Pallet Chain Conveyors When You Need
However, there are situations where a chain conveyor may not be the optimal choice. For example, if you require accumulation of products for buffering purposes, chain conveyors are generally not designed to allow products to nest up against each other without pushing them off the chain or sideways. In such cases, roller conveyors or power and free overhead conveyors are more suitable options.
Additionally, if your products have soft or uneven surfaces on the bottom, chain conveyors may not provide sufficient grip. Consider using a slat conveyor, which we can fitwith tooling to securely hold the product in place as the conveyor moves along. People can equip some chain conveyors with pins to hold skids or other part location devices.
It’s important to note that chain conveyors are not recommended as working surfaces for production operations. People primarily design them for transportation purposes. If you require a conveyor for production operations, consider using a slat conveyor or roller conveyor instead. However, if utilizing a chain conveyor as a working surface is necessary. That can ensure proper safety measures and guarding are in place to prevent injuries.
Chain conveyors are not suitable for moving products up or down inclines, as the products may slide easily on the chains. For transferring products from one chain conveyor line to another around curves, we suggest a 90-degree transfer mechanism.
