Adept Conveyor Technologies V conveyors for cylindrical products

Cylindrical products are often difficult to transport or accumulate and store on conveyor systems due to the shape of the product. Sensitive cylindrical products can also be damaged or caught up on the conveyor.

Adept Conveyor Technologies has developed a means to convey such product using two smaller conveyors set in a V configuration.

The solution is adaptable to a wide range of product diameters, lengths and weights, and can minimise surface damage due to transport and storage. This system is also cost effective compared to other complex solutions. V conveyors can be powered or non-powered and are available as either roller or belt conveyors, and in a variety of materials and surface finishes. Lifting devices for loading, unloading and rotating products, along with storage skids and trolleys, are also available.

Powered V conveyors can be configured as simple transport conveyor modules or as accumulation and storage conveyor modules with minimal change required.

The features of the powered conveyor modules are: 24 VDC power; robust gearbox design to operate with high efficiency; a wide range of speed and power using low energy; IP54 rating.
