Simple Innovation Keeps Packages on Flighted Conveyors
Serving a variety of material handling industries, flighted incline conveyors can be used to elevate bulk product, packages of many shapes and sizes and cases as shown in the video.
In this case conveyor line, cases entered the flighted conveyor in a random sequence. Project engineers at Nercon planned for the instances when a case didn’t land in the pocket and landed on a flight instead. A simple and inexpensive solution, a hold down was designed to gently guide cases into the pocket before travelling through the greatest elevation change.
This test video footage demonstrates a simple, yet effective hold-down solution which helps to prevent product and case damage while the cases travel securely through the incline.
