El Prado\’s Live Roller Conveyor

20 05 2009

In this system, the belt runs under the rollers giving them movement. This system\’s main advantage is the possibility to acquire different levels of accumulation of the materials to be handled. Adjusting the belt\’s pressure that generates over the rollers gives the option of making different systems. From systems with a small accumulation possibility, to systems where the materials can be stopped very easily. It is very useful for medium or small loads moved in boxes or trays.





Transitions between belt conveyors and regular conveyors

Whenever is necessary to mix or unite the two handling systems, there are options that allow a smooth transition preventing possible damage to the products.

The transition rollers constitute a good option between conveyors and belt conveyors. The load will transfer from one system to the other with no difficulties.

The electric suspension monorail

16 05 2009

Flexible materials handling with a clear floor, in cyclical or flow operation—that is the great strength of the electric suspension monorail. Whether it\’s distribution logistics in the food, drink and tobacco sector, production-based solutions in the dairy industry, vehicle wheel assembly or the automotive industry, it\’s electric suspension monorails that make many solutions possible in the first place. Supplying raw materials, linking up production phases using logistics, storing finished products and providing pallets in the dispatch department—these are all tasks that can be handled by a system solution.
In complex solutions, one single vehicle often handles many different tasks. For example, when a vehicle has set down a pallet of finished goods in the dispatch department, it can then take raw materials from the warehouse to the production hall on its way back. These redundant material handling systems are also highly tolerant of system failure and faults and, above all, they can respond flexibly to changing load levels. Special applications can also deal with extreme variations in height. For example, raising and lowering operations of up to five meters can be achieved with telescopic devices. The transfer to floor-based conveyor systems can be eliminated, thus saving expensive floor space. The electric suspension monorail makes ergonomic assembly possible in the automotive industry. Changing assembly heights is easy and can be tailored to the individual worker.




G&S general transport conveyor

16 05 2009

The general transport conveyor is designed to move baggage quickly through today’s intricate airport configurations.

Each component is painted or powder coated in a machine grey color. The resulting finish exhibits exceptional durability and appearance.

Generally unseen by the public, these conveyors smoothly and reliably transport baggage through the terminal to make-up units for destination batches. Stand alone or combined with power curves and sortation devices, baggage can travel effectively and efficiently to meet and exceed the demands of any airport.

The design of the G&S Airport Conveyor General Transport conveyor meets or exceeds all industry standards. The modular component design concept allows for complete flexibility and versatility in meeting the needs of simple baggage transfers to complex bomb-detection and sortation systems.

The modular components consist of a drive section, one or more slider bed modules, and a tail section. When changes in elevation are required, a standard-angle knuckle module can be added to accommodate inclines or declines. General transport conveyors can transfer bags horizontally and on inclines or declines up to 23 degrees of angle.





G&S Power turn conveyors

16 05 2009

Power turn conveyors smoothly and efficiently transfer baggage around curves without changing or affecting the orientation of the baggage to the conveying surface. Positioned adjacent to other conveyors, they accommodate baggage flow by providing a gentle, effective change in baggage direction.

Available for all standard widths, power turns are manufactured in angular increments from 15 to 209 degrees.

G&S Airport Conveyor utilizes Sigma Belt Power Turns, manufactured by
Portec – Flomaster Division, of Canon City, Colorado.

ADVANTAGES

Robust and reliable design
Modular design allows flexibility and versatility of system design
Belt widths available from 24\” wide thru 48\” wide

Belting
Standard belting is a 3-ply nylon, black smooth PVC face and polyester friction back. The belt can operate in temperatures from –4 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

Drive
G&S Airport Conveyor drives all power turns using integral motor/gearbox units such as the SEW Eurodrive gearmotor or equivalent.

Installation
G&S Airport Conveyor site representatives have an extensive history with power turn conveyors and are experts at installing and maintaining this equipment.





G&S check-in conveyor

16 05 2009

The check-in conveyor is ideal for transferring outbound baggage efficiently and effectively from the public ticket-counter area to airside operations.

Designed with workplace ergonomics and aesthetics in mind, this low profile conveyor can be manually loaded as a stand-alone unit, or automatically fed when integrated with any number of scale conveyor combinations.

The check-in conveyor consists of a drive section, one or more slider bed modules, and a tail section; all finished with high quality stainless steel. Offered in standard widths, the modular design allows conveyor lengths to be built to site-specific dimensions.

Designed with flexibility in mind, this robust and reliable design meets or exceeds all industry standards, while perfectly complimenting ticket-counter operations.





G&S Inclined Baggage Dispenser

16 05 2009

The slope plate conveyor is a high capacity, sloping-face, baggage conveyor that features a number of overlapping flites that are linked together to provide an endless, re-circulating conveyor surface. This unit is suitable for baggage claim and/or baggage make-up functions in high-density airports.
Normally operating at a speed of 90 feet per minute, the direction of travel can be either clockwise or counter-clockwise to meet customer needs. Loading of the unit can be achieved by feeding from below and through the floor or from overhead.

Manufactured with modern and durable materials, finished to the highest standards, and complimented with leading-edge mechanical and electrical components, this robust and reliable design meets or exceeds all industry standards.

Conveying Surface 63” Conveying width 22.5°
Angle sloped surface
Polyurethane arresting buffers
Heavy duty support wheels

The conveying surface is comprised of individual, rectangular, overlapping flites, angled 22.5° from horizontal, which are supported by structural splines and load bearing wheels, that are directly coupled to the main conveyor chain.

Flites are mechanically fastened to formed-steel splines, which provide the necessary structural support. The lower end of each flight is fitted with polyurethane buffers to cushion baggage as it is discharged and slides down from the feed conveyor. The entire flight and spline assembly forms an integral link in the main conveying chain that is positively engaged by the drive chain. A restraint strap is fixed between the articulating ends of each spline to ensure the correct pitch-distance is maintained between flites.

ADVANTAGES

High Density, Sloping-Face Make-up or Claim Conveyor
90 FPM, Clockwise or Counter-clockwise operation
Modular design allows flexibility and versatility of system design

Each flight and spline assembly is supported by an upper and lower heavy-duty support wheels. The support wheels are comprised of a high-density plastic tire molded onto a precision, sealed-for-life ball bearing.

Flites 14 gauge stainless steel (type 304, #4 finish) complete with leading edge, underside wear strip; or
¼” textured ABS plastic

The quality-controlled flites meet and exceed the dynamic and static loads specified for slope plate conveyors and will support a live load weight of 250 pounds, experiencing no undue deflection or damage.
