Slat conveyors are used to transport heavy rolls from a winder to another process such as roll storage. Loading/unloading rolls from the conveyor are done using 'kickers' and ramps. This system is predominantly used as the primary building block of an automated roll handling system and is traditionally used in conjunction with wrapping machines, upenders and other roll handling units.
Belt conveyors are used to transport large rolls either core horizontal or core vertical. This system comes in two versions: light loads with a low friction surface or heavy loads with the belt running on free rollers. When handling rolls core horizontal, the rollers are set to a 'V' position to keep the rolls central on the conveyor.
The roller conveyor system is offered in both a powered or non-powered version. The roller conveyor is typically sold as part of a larger integrated system that would work in conjunction with additional transfer cars. Options would include bi-directional transfer units and scissor lifts.
The infloor slide rail and dolly is the ideal way to transport large OD rolls. Because the slide rail is designed flush against the floor, rolls are easily placed and loaded onto the roll dolly. The rolls can then be effortlessly transported down the linear rail. An optional powered version is also available.
