Free and power conveyors are similar to trolley conveyors. They contain specifically spaced carriers that are transported by an overhead chain. Free and power conveyors derive their name from their design; they use one powered track and one non-powered track. The carriers are suspended on the non-powered or free track, and the two tracks are connected by “dogs”. The dogs mate with similar connections on either track to pull the carriers along. The main benefit of free and power conveyors is the ability to disconnect some carriers so they can be accumulated or switched onto spurs Products & Services
Industrial conveyors are horizontal, inclined, declined, or vertical machinery that transports bulk materials or discrete units from one place to another at a controlled rate.
Unit handling conveyors are designed to handle packages, pallets, or any other unit format. They are used to transport large, discrete items that can be handled independently.
Bulk handling conveyors carry materials such as grain, coal, pellets or any other powder, granular or bulk media.
Vertical conveyors are used to lift or lower loads between various levels in intermittent flow operations and where horizontal space is limited. There are two types of vertical conveyors, reciprocating and continuous.
Festoon systems are mobile supports for electrical cables or pneumatic lines that allow the cable to move with a hoist, trolley, or other mobile equipment without fouling.
