Excelling in conveyors.A major design plus for the latest zero-line pressure roller conveyor A materials handling aid containing rollers over which cargo is moved. from Excel Automation is the inclusion of a miniature 24v DC drive and associated gearbox gear·box n. 1. See transmission. 2. A protective casing for a system of gears. gearbox Noun the metal casing enclosing a set of gears in a motor vehicle Noun 1. within one of the actual conveyor rollers. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] This enables a compact, low-power accumulation conveyor to be built that is ideal for conveying unit loads such as cartons and totes Totes (more fully Totes»ISOTONER) is a corporation that sells umbrellas, gloves, rubber rain boots, and other similar accessories. Its headquarters is in Cincinnati, Ohio. for many industry sectors including the food and beverage F&B is a common abbreviation in the United States and Commonwealth countries, including Hong Kong. F&B is typically the widely accepted abbreviation for "Food and Beverage," which is the sector/industry that specializes in the conceptualization, the making of, and delivery of foods. industries, high-speed warehousing and distribution centres. The drive of this self-contained, modular accumulation conveyor system will power up to nine slave rollers to create a single zone through a simple loop configuration that is capable of operating at speeds up to 90mpm. However, to cater for application variations Excel adapts each zone size by adding or reducing the number of rollers to suit tote bin/carton length as well as adjusting speed, although this latter adjustment can be easily carried out on site. As the conveyor description suggests, zero-line pressure allows the accumulation of cartons and tote bins in each zone without collision and rubbing, thus preventing damage to the outer wrapping in the case of a carton. Control is achieved by a single photo-electric sensor strategically positioned between rollers at the start and end of each zone. It detects the leading edge of a carton, halting halt·ing adj. 1.

This latest development affords the user many benefits including quieter operation than conventional line shaft (Mach.) a main shaft of considerable length, in a shop or factory, usually bearing a number of pulleys by which machines are driven, commonly by means of countershafts; - called also line, or main line.

Also the build is very similar to Excel's established Excelvayor range of conveyors. The new accumulation section embodies all the proven maintenance features such as clear side guards for visual inspection of drive cards and a simple roller removal system comprising spring loaded rollers. Therefore, in the unlikely event that a roller needs changing, even if it is the drive roller, this can be achieved without major disruption to the workflow.
