Wedge Conveyor

Wedge Conveyor

Product Description

Constructed with two parallel flex conveyors utilizing a urethane gripper chain that wedge the sides of the product to lift or lower it vertically. Products are fed into the Wedge Conveyor from a horizontal conveyor with at least a product length gap to avoid hitting each other while going through the vertical transition. Products then exit onto a horizontal conveyor. Can be used with products of various sizes and shapes including boxes, totes, cans, plastic containers and bottles. Product must be able to withstand some side pressure. Vertical transfer can be through a wheel corner or plain bend corner. Wheel corner is generally limited to products less than 100mm in length. Can be configured with a manual adjustable conveyor positioner for quick product size changeover. Various configurations can also change product orientation.
