Hi, I'm Karl Scholz President of PACLINE Corporation and PACLINE Conveyors Inc.
Today I'd like to introduce you to the
full range of PACLINE's Overhead Conveyor products.
On this display rack behind me, I have
three styles of synchronous conveyors,
the signature series is called the PACLINE C-250 conveyor,
we have
our PAC-MAX conveyor, which is a heavy duty
enclosed track conveyor,
and on the bottom we have probably one of the oldest conveyors in the industry
the I-Beam conveyor.
We start with the C250.
First of all synchronous conveyor means that all the load attached to the chain
will move at the same pace.
If you stop the conveyor, all loads stop, if you start the conveyor all loads will start.
That's not to be confused with non synchronous conveyors
such as these two.
In synchronous conveyors,
there are basically
two different styles.
There's the enclosed track
which PACLINE is famous for
and then there's
open track. Enclosed track conveyors
have a bit of an advantage over
other conveyors in that their
very safe.
So if this conveyor was running, I could actually
touch the track without any danger of getting my fingers caught
in the mechanisms.
On an open track conveyor you can see that
these bearings are all exposed, if i was to put my finger in there
it would probably loose it.
The other advantage is that
in applications such as paint spraying
the over spray
will eventually make its way onto the track as opposed to inside on the bearings
and the chain.
On an open track style the over spray will hit those components
and it eventually will
fall-off
and cause a defect on the product that is being
that are being conveyed.
It's very simple
on an enclosed track
overhead conveyor like this, we have a chain running inside this tube
On an open track conveyor
you have
a number of trolleys
that are driven by pulled by a chain
and the load will be attached below.
These two conveyors are non synchronous which basically means that
the loads that are hanging from this
can work at different
can be conveying at different paces
and they can actually
stop and go independently of each other
and can actually switch tracks.
This is called the Power and Free conveyor.
So it's so named because on the top we have
something similar to an enclosed track conveyor running continuously.
So this chain is running continuously
the only thing that is hanging down from it is a drive dog.
Underneath that is another set of tracks called the Free track.
Inside the free track are trolleys.
These are free to roll back and forth
and only when
engaged with this driving dog will they be pushed along.
So if I had
to stop this trolley and the load beneath it
I would have a device
that allows these flippers
to move out of the way, and now the drive dog would pass right over top. In other words
a trolley is now free.
So that's where the name comes from Power and Free.
A number of our conveyors are invertible
the C-250 is not an invertible
conveyor.
The PAC-MAX conveyor is
this can run in any orientation. It can run with slot sideways
or the slot
facing up.
This is particularly useful when you have a very high-quality finishing system
where you want the load above the conveyor
therefrom thereby there's no chance of any kind of oil or
debris from on top of the track to hit the product.
In the power and free non synchronous conveyors
both of these models are invertible.
They have spring loaded trolley flippers
which allows this to happen.
Once again for cleanliness reasons you'd want to do this
you can also do what's called over under conveyors ... with
the track actually loops
in a vertical plane.
Very useful if you have
if you're lacking floor space in a particular work cell.
In terms of capacities
in our synchronous
conveyor line
this conveyor has the capacity the C-250
has the capacity of fifty pounds per hanging point, but if
you use a load bar arrangement and distribute the load over multiple
points,
You could have a hundred pound capacity or even a two hundred pound with a four
platen load bar arrangement.
The same holds true for
our other conveyors. The PAC-MAX conveyor
has a single point hanging capacity of
two hundred and twenty pounds
single
with a 2 platen load bar
that's four forty pounds
four platen load bars that's four hundred and eighty pounds.
When you get to
these higher capacities, you'll wanna make sure that you track is supported
properly
so more support points.
the open track I-Beam conveyor down
below
comes in three different capacities.
It's not invertible.
this is a three inch I-BEAM that we're showing here
four inch variety
and a six-inch variety.
The three inch
has the capacity of two hundred-pound a hanging point
the four inch has a capacity of
four hundred pound per hanging point
and the six inch has the capacity of
twelve hundred-pound per hanging point.
The six inches is what you would typically see in a car plant
carrying an entire car.
So that is our
product range.
If you were to call in to one of our
Engineers
they'll likely
to select from one of these
five conveyors
according to function and capacity. Thank You.
