Accumulating pallet systems
ACCUMULATING PALLET SYSTEMS
Accumulating pallet recirculation system with which we offer you cost-effective linking, feeding, buffering, positioning and separating of workpieces in the smallest possible space. The ro bustness and the variety of confi-gurations of the system allows it to be used in practically all areas of automation and material flow. Automatic recirculation of pallets Using a flat top chain conveyor the workpieces on the pallets are loaded on the upper transport level.
After removal of the work-pieces the empty pallets are safely carried over the return roller and then conveyed back on the under-side of the conveyor. They are then once again available at the starting point of the conveyor waiting to be loaded with new workpieces. A second conveying level and devices for lifting and lowering are no longer required. Neither is any additional manual or automated loading of pallets necessary.
Product specifications
