Which is the way to start the selection of the carrier?

Compare two systems on the basis structure, weight and task on the line of the carried product.

First question: What kind of product will be moved?

The choice of the carrier begins with the relationship that the carried product has established with the carrier surface before the external dimensions. The carton box, pocket, small plastic pieces and metal box do not show the same behavior on the same surface. The flatness of the base, the rigidity, the drain and the weight center of the product should be assessed together. If the weight of the product is different in the empty and full condition, both cases should be indicated.

What needs are the bandage system?

The band provides a constant transport surface under the product. Small parts, flexible packaging or rolls can be a suitable starting option for products that can enter between. However, the band material is selected taking into account the conditions of contact with the product, temperature, cleaning and environmental effects. In the heavy transport it is not enough to increase the motor power only; the product's sliding behavior and the band surface are also assessed.

Why is the base important in the rolling system?

In the rolled carrier, the load sits on the interim carrier elements. The under surface of the product should be supported without changing shape in the openness between the rolls. The rolling step is handled along with the shortest base size in the direction of the product's transport. In the avare system, the product moves with the push from the outside or the appropriate curve; in the driven system, the movement is provided with the engine and the transfer elements. These two orders should not be selected with the same work expectation.

Do not forget the transfer points.

Even if a carrier carries on itself without problems, the product can be installed at the point where it is combined with the previous and subsequent machine. The differences in the coat, the band turn diameter, the roll ends and the passage gap are determining especially in small products. The product comes from which direction to the carrier, will it stop at the output and where the operator will get the product from? Showing these points in the placement drawing makes it easier to evaluate the right solution.

Preparing for the proposal meeting

The product's maximum, size and height; minimum and maximum weight; the desired direction of transport and approximately line speed. Specify the carrier length, net transport width and the height of the transport surface separately. If you are required to stop, store or work and stop on frequent intervals, explain this also. The final capacity and drive choice is determined by the technical assessment to be done with this information.
