Multi-Conveyor launches product turner conveyor system
Multi-Conveyor (multi-conveyor.com) recently built a mild steel-constructed belt product turner conveyor system to transport shrink-wrapped flats of jars. This unique, cost-effective dual lane conveyor belt turns products by simply adjusting the speeds of the side-by-side opposing conveyor belts.
The first single belt is running faster to provide an adequate gap between products to ensure turning without products colliding. The dual belt design, using Intralox belting, has the belts running at two different speeds that are set by trial and error depending on product size and weight. For instance, this particular project has the belts running 52 and 30 feet per minute.
