Apron conveyor systems, control and regulation of material flow


Mechanical engineering
Inflow of semi-finished products to machine tools

Installed modular chain conveyor systems supply machine tools with semi-finished products.

Mechanical engineering
Inflow of semi-finished products to the testing device

The supply and inflow of semi-finished products into the modular chain conveyor is done using vibration feeders, in this case provided with a noise protection shield.

Mechanical engineering
Inflow of semi-finished products to the testing device

The workpieces are automatically transported to a testing device via the modular chain conveyor.

In this application a chain called a "steel top chain" is being used. This chain has links with cast-in metal plates.

Mechanical engineering
Feeding workpieces in front of the machining centre

The modular chain conveyor is supplying a gravity feeder with metal workpieces in front of the machining centre.

In this application is being used a chain with catch carriers, a so-called type A “cleated chain”. Workpieces are carried between special guide plates made from case-hardened spring steel.

Pulp and paper industry
Transportation of products from manufacture to packaging and palletizing

Modular chain conveyors are used for transporting products from their manufacture to packaging and subsequent palletizing. Wedge conveyors are also successfully employed not only can they transport products above the level of manufacturing devices, but can also rotate products by 90 or 180° during transport. Use of modular conveyors thus brings space savings, and there can never be enough space in a production hall!

Entering part of the “wedge” conveyor (detail). These conveyors feature special chains - the so-called type C “cleated chain”.

Food industry
Transportation of products from manufacture to packaging and palletizing

Modular chain conveyors find a very wide use in the food industry. Their wider versions are being used for transportation of business packages and larger cartons. The picture shows an application of chain conveyor with a vertical elevator, installed in dairy industry.

Food industry
Transportation of products from manufacture to packaging and palletizing

Besides modular chain conveyor systems, belt conveyors (either straight or circular) are also frequently used in the food industry. Circular belt conveyors are most often supplied with 90° and 180° angles; however, it is also possible to manufacture and supply a custom-made solution.

In our designs, these systems complement applications using chain conveyors and thus extend their scope of use.

Pharmaceutical industry
Transportation of products from filling to packaging

Transportation of products while ensuring necessary spacing in front of dynamic checkweighers. This application uses a design with two-stage acceleration of the conveyor with a single drive.

Pharmaceutical industry
Transportation of products from filling to packaging

Application in clean areas of the pharmaceutical industry; used for transporting glass ampoules with vaccines from filling machine to packaging.
In the given solution the conveyors progress through different grades of clean areas.
