The roller transfer device (TDR) is a bidirectional transfer device that facilitates load transfer to or from adjacent perpendicular conveyors on either side of the device. These devices include spaced racks of nonpowered rollers that raise the load and support it during lateral transfer to or from the device. Air actuators are used to raise and support the device and load, and are usually operator controlled by means of a foot valve located near the intersection. Loads are moved to or from the device in the raised position by the operator's manual effort.

-
For use with new and existing Mainline Conveyor Systems
conveyor.
-
Adaptable for use with other manufacture'rs conveyors.
-
Nonmetallic UHMW rollers are mounted on steel shafts
supported by formed channel roller racks.
-
Each rack occupies the space of one conveyor roller,
and all are tied together as a unit by the subframe.
-
Rack spacing is typically 9" to 15" center to center, but
may be adjusted to suit a particular application.
-
Racks are pneumatically raised and lowered as a single,
rigid unit.
-
Units may be added to Chain Transfer Devices (TDC) to
extend load length capacity in certain applications.

| TDR's are used to transfer loads between adjacent perpendicular conveyors. These devices may be used to provide 2, 3, and 4 way intersections. Typically, these units are employed where transfers need not be automatic, loads are relatively light, and transfers are not frequent. These units may be installed as part of new conveyor installations or may also be used in existing conveyor installations. |
