Streamlined Design and Construction Results in Low Maintenance, Quiet Pop-Up Transfer Conveyor

Nov. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- (Cincinnati, OH) - TKF offers pop-up transfer conveyors designed for smooth, quiet, trouble free operation.  One of the company’s most popular models is a light-duty unit designed to handle loads up to 250 pounds.  It utilizes economical and compact motorized roller driven strands, eliminating noisy chain drives.  There are no vertical guides or cam ramps used for positioning, and no slides or bearings used in its construction, making it simple to maintain.  

The light-duty model is available with urethane V-belt, urethane o-ring, or chain strands.  The number of strands and stroke height can be customized to suit particular application needs.  Heavier duty models are also available through TKF that utilize traditional motor drives.

Pop-up transfer conveyors lift items vertically raising them above the bed of the feeding conveyor, then conveys them 90° to an adjoining or adjacent conveyor. The transfer uses mechanical linkage to guide lifting.  They are ideal for the computer and electronic component, food and beverage, appliance, automotive, and glass industries where non-contact between product is crucial.
