Friction Transporters

The friction transporter is also known as the vibratory conveyor or scrap shuttle, and can offer different benefits over the traditional pneumatic conveyors and belt conveyors. Some of these benefits include:

· Very cost effective

· No air consumption / low noise which is typically below 70dba

· Swing away and quick release units

· Quick clamps for fast removal of trays

· Quick clean trays as required in the food industry

· No mechanical springs and no conveyor belts to fail make friction transporters very reliable

· 4.5 metres/minute product transport

· Weight of trays 30Kg maximum

· Continuous cyclical motion ensures very low maintenance

Belt conveyors often fail due to scrap or components/items making their way under the belt, and over a period of time this can cause damage to the belt which may end up beyond repair.

Pneumatic types of conveyor have been found to be unreliable when poor quality air is supplied to them, and in many cases they are not as robust as vibratory conveyors which use an electro/mechanical gearbox.

Electro/mechanical units are generally built for the press shop, and are strong robust units with a gearbox with an eccentric gear which drives the scrap material in the forward position and then rapidly returns. It conveys the material or components/items using this action at four times per second, and conveys the material horizontally and does not need to be inclined or tilted. This makes it ideal for press tools where space for scrap material may be limited.

They are easily adaptable to meet most requirements, and a selection of trays may be fixed or mounted onto the unit. The length of the tray presents no problems, and when using trays of over three metres in length, linear bearing supports can be provided. Common trays can be used for different applications and different tools.

Friction transporters can be used for a wide range of applications, and for this reason they are found in many different industries such as foundry, casting, pharmaceutical and machine tool industries.

Some friction transporters are supplied with a motion sensor that automatically shuts down machinery if the power supply is interrupted, however a motion sensor can be supplied to all friction transporters as an optional extra.

Friction transporters are especially suited to be fitted underneath pressing tools, eliminating all waste handling problems, and the trays or chutes may be custom made to suit most requirements.
