EQUIPMENT
Industrial conveyors for products and loads
Conveyors connect production stations and manage product transfer or accumulation. Applications include paper roll accumulation and assistance with manual loading of insulation packs and rolls.
Applications
Transfer, accumulation or loading assistance
Products
Small reels, packs or rolls depending on configuration
Layout
Defined by the stations to be connected
Loading
telescopic conveyor for manual loading of packs and rolls
Diameter
Small-reel accumulation: 300 to 1,100 mm
How it works
Conveying moves products from one operation to the next. An accumulation area holds products when the rates of neighbouring stations need to be coordinated.
In insulation logistics, a telescopic conveyor assists manual loading. Supports and routes are defined for the product being handled and the transfer points it must reach.
Key features
Height
Small-reel accumulation: 55 to 1,200 mm
Weight
Small-reel accumulation: 1,200 kg
Linear capacity
Accumulation table: 3,000 mm, comprising 2 × 1,500 mm
Rotation
Accumulation table: 10 rpm on the large rollers
The ALFI source describes an accumulation conveyor for small rolls on a paper handling line. The following figures relate to that historical configuration.
Roll characteristics
- Diameter: 300 to 1,100 mm.
- Height: 55 to 1,200 mm.
- Stated weight: 1,200 kg.
Accumulation table
Linear capacity is 3,000 mm, arranged as 2 × 1,500 mm. The stated rotational speed on the large rollers is 10 rpm. For a new project, usable dimensions and load capacity are specified from the rolls and the flow to be handled.
A telescopic conveyor assists manual loading of packs and rolls in insulation product logistics. It supports the loading operation carried out by operators.
The layout depends on product dimensions, pickup and discharge points, and available space. Operator movements and access to the station are included in the study of this logistics area.
The route and transfer heights are defined with the connected equipment. Product shape, weight and contact surfaces determine the support arrangement.
Where accumulation is needed, the number of waiting products is considered alongside incoming and outgoing rates and available space. These details determine how conveying is organised along the line.
