Belt Transfer Device (TDB)
Description
  
Specifications
Product Description
  
Features

The belt transfer device (TDB) is a bidirectional transfer device that facilitates load transfers to or from adjacent perpendicular conveyors on either side of the device. Loads are carried during transfer on multiple strands of flat top chain powered by an electric gearmotor. Each carrier chain occupies the same space of one roller and is guided by UHMW-PE chain guides mounted on a rigid chain bar weldment. The device and load are raised and supported during transfer by multiple pneumatic actuators mounted on bases anchored to the floor.

The chain used for this device is a plastic chain with a pitch of 3/4". This short pitch allows small radius turns that accomodate short center distances between the end of the transfer surface and adjacent conveyors. The general idea of multiple chain bars wit adjustable centers is similar to our standard chain transfer device. However a box shaped chain bar gives the device improved rigidity and protection to the plastic chain.

 

  
  • For use with new or existing Mainline Conveyor System conveyor
  • Adaptable for use in other manufacturer's existing conveyor
  • Adjustable chain spacing allows on site reconfiguration to match existing conveyor requirements
  • Potential for tandem operation
  • Self contained power train fits completely within the conveyor frame
  • Flat top chain eliminates damage to bottoms of loads
  • 3/4" pitch chain permits small radius turns and close center distances with adjacent conveyors
  • Box chain bar profile allows improved rigidity of chain bar for heavier loads

 

 

 

 
Application
    
TDB's transfer loads between adjacent perpendicular conveyors. This bidirectional device may be used to provide either a two, three, or four way intersection. Multiple adjacent TDBs may be electronically slaved to handle large loads. TDBs may be installed in existing Mainline Conveyor Systems conveyors without the purchase of a new midsection. The flat top chain provides a smooth conveying surface for applications where it is important to avoid damage to the bottom of the load.
