Power and Free Conveyor
Many industries rely on power and free conveyors to maximize efficiency with material handling. First and foremost is automotive. Hospitals, newspapers, commercial printers, chemical manufactures and many other applications require material handling and material movement efficiencies offered by power and free conveyors. Lean manufacturing technology demands high performance, agile solutions for assembly line operations. Power and free conveyors respond to these demanding requirements with a multitude of flexible solutions.
Power and free conveyors are made up of a power track and a free track. A chain, supported by trolley, continuously moves along the power track. Pusher dogs engage the carriers that ride on the free track to ensure constant forward motion. This process is often modeled to predict performance in a variety of operating conditions to maximize utility on the shop floor.
Consistency and Reliability
Consistency of movement is a key attribute of power and free conveyors. The power and free conveyor pusher dog and trolley design makes some of the most tedious tasks efficient while maintaining quality and reliability in the material handling process.
Product is moved with ease and consistency through the most critical applications of assembly, sorting, packaging, and storage in the warehouse or trailer loading and finally shipping.
Cost Savings
Material movement is a high cost process for many companies. Power and free conveyors control these costs while eliminating waste and increasing quality in the final product. Reliable, efficient, high quality power and free conveyors add value to the production and material handling process.
