under floor conveyor

A floor conveyance system for transporting goods along a preselected conveyance path includes a drag chain conveyor defining a first surface and a skid conveyor having one end adjacent to the drag chain conveyor and defining a second surface disposed at a higher level than the first surface of the drag chain conveyor.

A conveying frame is operatively engageable with the drag chain and skid conveyors for supporting goods thereon and includes front and rear pairs of wheels to permit for rolling movement of the conveying frame across the first surface and a pair of elongated parallel skid members mounted interiorly with respect to the front and rear pairs of wheels and each having a longitudinal length less than the separation dimension between the front and rear pairs of wheels.

The parallel skid members establish sliding contact with the second surface when the conveying frame is conveyed along the skid conveyor. Thus, the front and rear pairs of wheels contact the first surface when the frame is conveyed by the drag conveyor while the pair of skid members are inoperative, and the front and rear pairs of wheels are disengaged from the first surface when the pair of skid members come into engagement with the second surface of the skid conveyor.

This type of conveyor uses one or more endless chains on which loads are carried directly. Parallel chain configuration is used for transporting pallets. Vertical chain conveyor is used for continuous high-frequency vertical transfers (cf. vertical conveyor used for low-frequency intermittent transfers)

Optimum use of the available storage capacity, perfect transshipment of goods and high flexibility in the redistribution of the goods are the objectives of powerful logistic companies. For many companies a solution that is easy and in addition very effective is the redistribution of the goods via an underfloor conveyor system with trolley-jacks.

The essential advantages of our chain conveyor system are:

• Easy handling



• High transport capacity



• Personnel saving



• Reduction of the fork lifter fleet



• Reliability



• Calm work flow



• Fewer complaints



• eliminate lifting and hauling scrap

Unique Features：

Full usage of hopper size due to low heights and adjustable widths.

Optimal hopper filling due to forward-backward motion of transportation.

High level of weight-bearing capacity.

High level of operational safety, minimum wear.

No danger of winding or entangling when processing long or endless materials.

Simple integration into existing material hopper systems with a minimum of work.

Examples of use of floor conveyor:

• In automobile companies - floor conveyor systems are designed to have low friction and to stabilize the product onto a flat surface track. Automobiles can easily be moved down the track without any complications. It is mainly used for merging and transferring the product.
• automotive body shops
• automotive paint shops
• automotive final assembly systems
