Dispatch Transfer Device (TDD)

The Dispatch Transfer Device provides a pusher bar offset along the side of the conveyor that moves across the conveyor to push loads off the opposite side to an adjacent conveyor. The pusher bar or Head is recessed from the side of the conveyor, at it's home position, allowing loads to pass as they move along the conveyor. When a load is to be transfered, the load centers in front of the pusher head and stops. The head will move toward the load, push it off the opposite side and onto the adjacent line, and return home and wait for the next load.

The pusher head is a sturdy structural angle mounted to and supported by a pair of trolley assemblies. These trolleys are supported and guided by rails that are incorporated in the device frame, and span the width of the conveyor. Loads pass above the guide rails as they move along the conveyor, while the conveyor belt passes beneath the guide rails as it drives the conveyor. The pusher assembly is pulled by tow chains attached to each trolley by a common drive. Adjustable limit switches control the home and full forward positions of the stroke.
