Introduction to Pallet Handling Conveyors
Pallet handling conveyors are widely utilized in industrial and commercial settings for the transportation of palletized goods. These systems are designed to enhance productivity and efficiency by automating the movement of pallets within a facility.
Components of Pallet Handling Conveyors
Key components include rollers, belts, chains, motors, and control systems. Rollers and belts facilitate smooth movement, while chains provide power transmission. Motors drive the conveyor's movement, and control systems manage speed and direction.
Operational Mechanisms
Pallet handling conveyors function using a combination of motor-driven rollers or belts. The motors generate motion through electrical power, typically ranging between 0.5 to 7.5 horsepower depending on load capacity. Load sensors provide feedback to maintain motion efficiency.
Automation and Control Systems
Advanced pallet handling conveyors incorporate programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to automate operations. PLCs synchronize conveyor speed and manage routing, capable of handling variations in conveyor speeds from 10 to 200 feet per minute.
Benefits of Pallet Handling Conveyors
The implementation of these conveyors reduces manual handling, lowers the risk of workplace injuries, and optimizes warehouse space utilization. Systems are scalable, supporting loads up to 4,000 pounds per pallet.
