The chain conveyor is most commonly used in handling pallets, boxes and cargo with non-uniform bottom or large width that cannot be put on roller conveyors. AUTOMATIC LOADING AND UNLOADING OF LOOSE LOADS A telescopic conveyor is an effective solution in package handling applications. After extension, it minimises the need of manual handling of products by operators. When needed, the dropping or reception spot can be shifted directly to the operator's side by meand of simple joystick movement. ADVANTAGES: • improved work ergonomics • faster loading and unloading • safe and reliable operation APPLICATIONS Telescopic conveyors are mainly used for flexible unloading and loading of trucks and trailers to 13 m in length. The telescopic conveyors handle carton boxes, cases, containers and small pallets (up to 50 kg). DETAILED DESCRIPTION How it works?: In a chain conveyor, the items transported are moved on chain strings. The number of strings depends on the type of transported goods. The constant speed of each sting is ensured by sprocket wheels fixed on the drive shaft of the gear motor. The chains move on a special sliding profile made of plastic and transport any products in a safe way. The sliding profile features high resistance to abrasion. The whole device is installed in a rigid and stable frame. Examples of chain conveyor systems: Conveyor with accumulation chain : the accumulation chain makes it possible to level efficiency fluctuations in production or in the warehouse. Used in the contact-free accumulation zones for pallets, boxes, and other carriers.
