TP30-40

Apron conveyors are high-capacity conveyors for transporting large quantities of paper rolls in a lying position, suitable for floor-level installation in hall floors.

This type with a chain pitch of 400mm is especially suitable for very long transport sections. The chassis is in the form of a closed trough which can be cast into the foundation pit. The V-shaped steel pallets form an endless chain which can be crossed by industrial trucks and therefore presents no obstacle in printing or storage halls. Drive and tensioning stations are the end positions of the conveyor and are equipped with covers for easy access for maintenance purposes.

Together with the function of aligning the lifted paper rolls, this station also permits the changing of roll trolleys. This can be necessary in a long conveying section in order to achieve shorter return sections and hence also higher conveying capacities.

Lifting and aligning station

The pneumatically actuated lifting station can be integrated at any point in a MecaRoll section. In the lower position the 2 support rollers are recessed level with the floor. 2 pneumatic cylinders lift the support rollers with the paper roll synchronously from the roll trolley. The freed roll trolley returns to its loading position. Meanwhile the new roll trolley coming from the opposite side fetches the lifted paper roll. The available roll is loaded on to the new roll trolley by a careful lowering action. The station is also suitable for the transfer of fully prepared rolls.

The push-off device carries out the targetted push-off of the rolls from the conveyor system

Push-off Device

The pneumatically actuated push-off device is used to achieve a push-off of the rolls from conveying systems (apron conveyors or MecaRoll) at particular addresses. A roll is automatically pushed-off from the conveying system in a line or centrally. The push-off takes place by means of a lever arm and a steel roller which permit the sideways movement of the transported roll by means of a spring and hence guarantee a gentle action. The solid housing contains the pneumatic cylinder, the solenoid valves and the compressed air unit. The push-off lever is guarded at the side by sheet metal cladding over its entire stroke to eliminate trapping and crushing locations. The push-off area is monitored by a contact rail and pushing-off is stopped when the line is full.
