Powered Transportation Conveyor
A powered conveyor is recommended to maintain a positive flow of products that are not the same size, weight, or shape. The standard belt speed for most
conveyors is 65 feet per minute. Other speeds, from less than 1 to over 200 feet per minute are available.
Belt Conveyor
Belt conveyors are typically used for the following: inclines and declines; product that cannot be conveyed over rollers;
sorters that utilize pushers; gapping belts to separate product; and general transport to maintain product separation. Three
general things are considered: characteristics of product handled, environmental conditions, and the operations to be
performed. Boxes should not exceed the overall width of the belt conveyor.
C
O Powered Accumulation Conveyor
N
V The accumulation conveyor is very similar to a live roller conveyor except the drive pressure on the product can be adjusted to a minimum or even
E eliminated. Many times, it is necessary to be able to accumulate a long line of boxes without back pressure so they are ready to be fed into loading, sorting,
Y strapping, palletizing, or many other operations.
O
R
Minimum - Pressure Accumulating Conveyor (product lightly touches)
Enough drive power is removed from the tread roller to stop a moving package, but not too much back pressure to cause
I
package damage. The amount of back pressure on this type of conveyor is usually 2% of the total live load on the conveyor
N
and is adjustable.
F
O
R Zero - Pressure Accumulating Conveyor (product does not touch)
M Drive pressure is removed by placing sensors at regular intervals. When activated, the sensors remove pressure from
A the preceding zone. Applications for this conveyor must be reviewed carefully because many factors affect proper
T operation. Conveyor speeds may vary from 30 to 250 feet per minute. At higher speeds, product will need to be tested for
I accumulation and slip characteristics.
O
N
Gravity Conveyor
Gravity conveyors move products without motor power by using a slope to convey product. Wheels or rollers are placed in steel or aluminum channel
frames. Gravity conveyor is less expensive than powered conveyor, and it can provide minimum pressure accumulation (product lightly touches). The use
of free running gravity conveyors for boxes over 200 pounds is not recommended. Always test the angle of decline with your full range of products to
ensure proper flow. Typical angles of decline fall between 3 and 6 degrees.
12 1-800-264-9610 www.bmhcorp.com
Powered Incline Conveyor
For most applications, the maximum angle you should incline a conveyor is 18º. Beyond this incline a square box with a central center of gravity will
begin to tumble. Most catalog calculations are based on 15º. Declines greater than 22º may cause boxes to slip or tumble down the conveyor, or the drive
capacity may be exceeded. Consult the chart below concerning your specific incline conveyor needs.
(Fig. A) (Fig. B)
Power Feeders
Power feeders are often used when transferring packages from a horizontal conveyor to an incline
conveyor. When boxes move from gravity or roller conveyor to inclined belt conveyor, the trailing
bottom edge of the box could hang up between rollers (Fig. A). With a power feeder, the transfer of a box is
positively fed up the incline (Fig. B). A power feeder should be as long as the longest package and twice as
long as the belt width. Power feeders are usually attached by a slave drive to the main incline conveyor.
Noseovers
The noseover allows a smooth transition from the incline to the horizontal and prevents product tumbling.
A single noseover provides a 0º to 15º transition. A double noseover is used for a transition greater than
15º. Noseovers are normally used when the angle exceeds 10º. Noseovers are optional on incline and
decline conveyors.

Conveyor Spurs R
Straight or curved spurs are used to converge or diverge product on or off the main conveyor. Connections may be made from a live roller conveyor to a I
belt conveyor or vice versa, from roller conveyor to roller conveyor, or from belt conveyor to belt conveyor. N
F
O
The following conditions should be taken into consideration:
R
• Small packages may hang up or tumble at the gap between conveyors.
M
• Small boxes may hang up on non-powered system couplings or pop-out rollers.
A
• Live roller conveyors usually provide the best transition.
T
• Both conveyors must be at the same level to assure a smooth transfer.
I
• Curves should be preceded by a straight section of conveyor as long as the longest box to
O
keep the packages from overshooting the curve.
N
Spurs are available in 30º and 45º angles for converging and diverging applications. A corner turning wheel
may be necessary to help boxes negotiate converging spurs. A plow or pivot divert is necessary when
diverging to a spur from the main conveyor.
Conveyor Curves
Curves are used on a conveyor system when a 30º, 45º, 60º, 90º, or even 180º turn is necessary. Boxes
traveling around curves with straight rollers will not stay oriented, nor will they exit the curve in the same
orientation as they entered because the outside of the box must travel a greater distance. Using tapered
roller curves will maintain product orientation through the curve. Skatewheel curves and split roller curves
also allow boxes to stay oriented. A 2 in. clearance is recommended between the package corners and
the outside radius on all curves; this may necessitate curves being wider than straight sections in order to
accommodate turning packages. Curves should have a guard rail mounted on the outside radius to prevent
boxes from falling off. When ordering curves, specify right-hand or left-hand curves according to the flow
diagrams shown.
1-800-264-9610 www.bmhcorp.com 13
Zero-Pressure Accumulation Conveyor
Product Length
Minimum
Minimum product length on zero-pressure package handling conveyors should be three times the
roller spacing. Based on the standard roller spacing of 3 in., this would be 9 in.
Minimum product length on zero-pressure pallet handling conveyors should be four times the
roller spacing.
Maximum
C Maximum product length on zero-pressure package handling conveyors should be 3 in. less than the
O accumulation zone length to allow for product slipping as it stops. There will be no gaps between
N products if the product length equals the accumulation zone length. Maximum product length on zero-
V pressure pallet handling conveyors should be 6 in. less than the accumulation zone length.
E
Y Product Width
O Product should not be wider than the between rail width of the conveyor on zero-pressure package handling conveyor. (NOTE: Product clearance must be
R checked if zero-pressure curves are used in application.)
D
E Product Height
S Verify if box flaps will be in the up position or if long products will be sticking up and out of the carton.
C
R Condition of the Product Bottom
I A firm flat bottom is generally required on a product. A soft or irregular bottom may cause
P hang-up. If the load exceeds 50 lbs. per foot, product should have a rigid bottom. Pallet type
T products must have a conveyable surface with runners in the direction of travel. The pallet
I runners cannot be concave or convex or the pallet may hang up.
O
N
S Product Shape
Containers with handles, product overhang, or of v-shaped design may leave gaps at an
accumulation sensor (see illustration to the right). If the sensor is not depressed or blocked, in the
case of photo electric sensors, a back pressure build up may occur.
Product Flow
All of the zero-pressure conveyors featured in this catalog are designed for one direction conveying only. Please specify if accumulation is required in both
the forward and reverse direction.
Conveying Speed
Speeds other than the standard speed listed in the specifications for each conveyor may affect the accumulation feature of the conveyor due to product slippage.
Bed Lengths
Bed lengths are supplied in multiples of zone length. Because of special design equipment, standard bed lengths must be used to make up overall
conveyor length. Adjoining conveyors should be altered to fit layout requirements. Typical bed lengths are 10 ft. long.

Belt Curve
Taco Curve
4096/4096R Applications
180º curve tables are used wherever the path of conveyed goods must be reversed in a defined pattern within
a very small space. Due to the small curve table radius, commissioning conveyors can be installed directly
parallel to one another when space is limited. High volume flow rates are achieved thanks to continuous
transport of boxed goods. The system is driven by a proportionally working friction (cam action) wheel drive
positioned below the return belt and powered by a 3-phase gear motor. The belt is held on track by spring mounted
pressure elements along the outside radius. Belt turnaround is accomplished by cylindrical idler rollers. This
makes it possible to achieve close connection to conveyors on either side.
Curve Technology
With the help of the 180º Taco Curve Type 4096, a return or cross conveyor can be eliminated. Everywhere,
the 180º Taco Curve can connect parallel lines when placed at the end for a continuous flow. Up to a
diameter of 55”, with a usable width of 20”, the construction has the advantage of no inner radius guide.
Larger diameter of up to 13 feet, would have an inner radius of 8”. At maximum speed, there is no skew of the
transported article.
Belt Tracking
The outer edge of the belt is here shown with a specially developed polyurethane (PU) tracking profile. With the help of this profile, the natural inward
radial forces are counteracted where the belt is tracked in a definite position. The counteracting forces are applied to the outside radius of the curve via the
tracking profile by ball bearing rollers. These rollers are spring loaded to counteract even extreme radial forces for extra safety and a longer belt life. With
this advanced, patented design of the spring loaded tracking rollers, an easier and faster belt change is possible, even when access is only available from
the top surface of the curve.
Drive System
B The drive of the belt curve acts upon the bottom of the belt with a unique friction pinch drive. The significant benefit for this drive system is the
E proportional pinching force delivered by the cam action design. This allows for the transportation of large and heavy loads even when the belt is
L started from a stand still. In addition, the patented cam drive is fully functional in both directions, thus giving the advantages of on line reverse
T direction switching, which is often advantageous in line jam situations.

Key advantages of the spiral chute are its efficient space utilization and economical cost. The spiral chute provides at least three times the floor savings over
conventional decline conveyors. Greater savings can be realized by multi-floor applications of the CM. Also, the size of the chute allows it to be utilized in
tight situations such as elevator shafts and other small spaces.
The spiral chute provides a safe, secure means of lowering your products. Specially designed fiberglass
profile modules help control the descending speed of your products. In high humidity situations the self
starting characteristic of the gel coated fiberglass assists products to flow freely, gently and safely. In
contrast, the product normally sticks and hangs up in common steel chutes when humid conditions pre-

Vertical Continuous Lift
CVC Applications
The model CVC high speed continuous lift allows efficient vertical accumulation. The
model CVC utilizes steel reinforced urethane belting in place of roller chain. The CVC
urethane belting is extremely resistant to oil, grease and gasoline; chemically resistant
to ozone and sunlight; hydrolysis resistant; acid and alkali resistant; and requires no
lubrication. Parallel steel cables integrally molded in the urethane provide excellent
tensile strength and high resistance to elongation. CVC belts also incorporate a patented
connection that performs to 100% of the belt’s breaking strength (6,000 lbs.) Some other
advantages are:
• No lubrication required.
• High speeds.
• Extremely quiet (less than 60 decibels).
• Low maintenance.
• Minimal belt stretch.
• High abrasion resistance.
• Lower profile design.
Specifications
• GENERAL - Each CVC is custom built to accommodate load size and
delivery rate required. Delivery rate or throughput (loads per minute) is based
on platform (carrier) spacing and belt speed. Minimum platform spacing is a
function of the load length and load height.
Generally a lower belt speed will enhance operation and equipment life. When V
possible, add platforms to achieve required throughput instead of increasing E
belt speed. R

It is the use of the rubber block chains in particular which gives rise to the very low running noise of the
circulating vertical conveyor. People working in the vicinity are not disturbed by noise when the conveyor
is in operation.
The rubber block chains require no lubrication, regular adjustment or retentioning, which leads to minimum
maintenance and low operating costs. The type of rubber used for the chains is determined by each application.
Either SBR for abrasion, resistance, or neoprene where the chains could come into contact with oil. Steel cables
are vulcanized through the center of the rubber thus providing the rubber block chains with high tensile strength.

Accumulating Conveyor Definitions
Minimum Pressure
The driving of the tread rollers on the minimum pressure conveyor is accomplished with the top
surface of a standard section endless V belt. The strength and wear qualities of the tread rollers
and this belt have been thoroughly tested for continuous duty.
To maintain the driving of the tread roller, the pressure roller is mounted in spring adjusted
carriers (see photo) which sense the required driving friction regardless of the length of
accumulated load. This pressure can be maintained constantly to give a 2% minimum back
pressure in either a forward or reverse direction.
In the event of extreme changes in unit load (weight of box or package), convenient knurled
thumb adjusting nuts can be turned to accept this heavier load.
This method eliminates the need for selecting proper tension spring holes in trigger
mechanisms or jogging cleats on driving belt and eccentric (off center) tread rollers.
By maintaining a constant minimum pressure on the tread rollers, long loads may be conveyed, accumulated or stopped on the conveyor at any point
using very little motor horsepower and giving practically no pressure between boxes or packages.
Zero Pressure
The conveyor is divided into accumulation zones. Each zone extracts power from a flat drive belt that runs the entire length of the conveyor. The
drive belt is pneumatically lowered away from the tread rollers, causing product in that zone to stop. EZLogic® accumulation modules sense product
presence and control the accumulation and release of product from the zones.
• Sleep mode stops tread rollers from turning when no product is present, reducing noise and extending roller
bearing life.

CBR Applications
The TGW Clutch Brake (CBR) accumulation conveyor consists basically of an electromagnetic clutch and brake that are integrated in a conveyor roller. The
roller is divided into a permanently driven part against which the drive flat strap is pressed and a non driven part. Engagement for is created via the clutch
between the driven and the non driven parts. In the braking procedure, this is disengaged and the brake pulled back in the opposite direction.
The “slave rollers“ are co-driven by round bands interconnecting variable zone lengths. Widths of the conveyor vary from 16 inches to 31.5 inches. Zone
lengths come in 18, 24, and 30 inch possibilities.
The unit is pre-wired from the factory with all the necessary sensors for control built into the side channels.

Powered Roller Accumulation Conveyor
Applications
Powered roller accumulation conveyor is an improved method of transporting and accumulating product using
24VDC motorized rollers in lieu of standard belt and chain driven conveyors. Powered roller conveyors operate
solely from low voltage electrical power and control signals making it inherently safe. In addition, it requires no
air, brakes, or clutches to provide product accumulation easing installation and maintenance requirements.
Powered roller accumulation conveyor has many applications including low noise environments, situations with high degrees of operator
interface, conditions requiring low conveyor profiles, and applications where accumulating in curves, inclines, or declines is beneficial. Powered roller A
accumulation conveyor can interface at each zone with higher level PLC or PC based control systems allowing for maximum control and flexibility. The C
low installation, maintenance, and power consumption requirements make the full lifecycle costs of powered roller accumulation conveyors more attractive C
than conventional conveyor systems. U

Chain Driven Live Roller
Medium Duty
199-CRR Applications
The 199-CRR is a chain driven, roller-to-roller conveyor and is ideally suited
for applications where belt driven live roller conveyors would not be suitable
due to the environmental conditions. Examples include manufacturing processes
where parts may be oily preventing belts from driving the rollers. The rollers in
the 199 CRR are positively driven with chains roll to roll and therefore the drive
is not affected by oily conditions. This conveyor can be converted to minimum
pressure with the addition of roller sleeves.

Pallet Handling
Applications
Wood pallets have been notorious for the challenges they present in the material handling
industry. Typical pallet construction has the orientation of the bottom boards that contact the conveyor
perpendicular to flow. Unless the pallet is in perfect condition, roller conveyors tend to have
problems conveying wood pallets. Drag chain conveyor is a more forgiving method of unit handling that
better handles irregular or damaged pallets. Uses for drag chain conveyor include general transportation,
accumulation buffers and more complex systems as shown in the following system.
In this case, there are (2) parallel drag chain conveyors that have accumulation zones that lift the pallet
off the chains allowing for queuing unit loads. At the end of each drag chain conveyor are a series of
pop-up roller transfers that convey the load from one drag chain conveyor to the other. In this particular
system a pallet full of product is loaded onto the system with a forktruck. If there are no pallets in queue
ahead, the pallet will travel to the far end of the system, transfer to the adjacent drag chain conveyor,
and proceed toward the operator pick area. An operator will pick cases of product off the pallet and build
multiple orders simultaneously. Once all cases of that product have been picked, the pallet is released
out of the pick zone and conveyed to the forktruck pick-up zone. If more of this product is needed for a
later order, the pallet may be reintroduced into the system by transferring back onto the first drag chain
conveyor. Along the length of the drag chain conveyor are accumulation lift bars that are pneumatically
actuated to raise the unit load off of the chains.

Automated Electified Monorail
• The KHB-F5 is based on an aluminium profile. The height and width of this profile comply
with the European standard, which has now become the international standard for loads up
to 1,100 pounds. However, the F5 system is designed to handle heavier trolley loads. The profile
is symmetrical, enabling a wide variety of power and data bus bars to be attached to its sides.
• This system is designed for loads between 3,300 and 11,000 pounds. The tracks are
correspondingly larger than those used by the KHB-F5. The symmetry of the KHB-F20 track
profile makes it possible to attach a variety of power and control bus bars. Like the KHB-F5, AEM (Automated Electrified Monorail) connecting a
the KHB-F20 is of modular design. Standard components, such as trolleys, tracks, switches and warehouse with the production line of a brewery
lifts, have been proven in the field over many years.
Inverted type
An Inverted Monorail System (IMS) is effectively an inverted overhead monorail. In this system the track is floor mounted and the trolleys act as
transport platforms.
O
V • Inverted Monorail Systems offer standardized tracks for quick and easy installation onto the floor. Loads between 660 and 3300 pounds
E can be transported with this system without difficulty. Loads need not to be distributed evenly on the trolleys. Speed < 400 ft/min are possible.
R Various layouts provide for maximum flexibility. Inclines and declines can be included in the track layout. A broad range of controls is available.
H
E Applications
A
D Automotive
Being so reliable, AEMs are an ideal transportation method for the automotive industry, where a breakdown could instantly bring entire production lines
to a standstill.
Distribution
High performance and reliability are the main requirements of a warehouse AEM. An AEM may be added to existing facilities, or specified from the outset
of a new project. Modular construction gives users enormous flexibility for future modifications or extensions.
Production Process
AEM makes an ideal solution for linking production processes together. A ceiling suspended system saves valuable floor space.
Benefits
• High system reliability. • Transport, storing and sorting with one system. • Fully automated.
• Inclines/declines up to 90 degrees. • Heavy loads up to 11,000 ponds. • High capacity.

Modular Plastic Belt
Advantages
Durable
These conveyors are more durable than other similiar conveyors. Large portions of original chain
are still running on conveyors that have run six days a week for years, even in areas with high levels
of contaminants.
Quiet
These conveyor systems are designed as a complete system, with all parts created specifically to
work together and reduce noise. These conveyors create one-twentieth the amount of noise of a
conventional plastic conveyor system.
Safe
The conveyor chains are completely captured to the frames so there is no loose chain on the top or
bottom of the conveyor. Dangerous catenaries have also been eliminated.
Clean
The chain has a 40-75% open design (depending on the type of chain), allowing crumbs and debris to fall through. Cleaning is
easy - the conveyors can be hosed down! And these system conveyors are USDA Approved and BISSC certified.
Easy to Maintain
The chain can be opened at any point with a standard screwdriver. Sprockets can be replaced without having to remove the drive M
shaft. And the modular design allows for standardization of replacement parts. O
D
Easy to Modify U
These conveyors use modular bolted construction, so sections can be added, removed or changed. Drives, idlers, curves, and L
vertical bends are all modular, so individual units can be changed or replaced independently. A

Magnetic Conveyor
Magnetic Conveyor Applications
Engineered for moving ferrous materials such as small chips, fines, small parts and stampings - the magnetic
conveyor is an effective solution for cast iron and steel machining operations where fines are too small and
numerous for removal by conventional conveyor systems.
Broken and/or fine cast iron or steel chips in metal cutting machine tool applications are difficult to remove from coolant. This magnetic conveyor solves the
problem of separating metal chips in those applications. Steel or cast iron chips and fines flow with the coolant onto the load section of the conveyor. Gravity
causes larger chips to settle to the bottom, while finer chips (still in suspension) are attracted by a series of magnets located underneath the conveyor.
Advantages
• Move ferrous materials such as small chips, fines, small parts
and stampings.
• Ideal for cast iron machining operations where fines are too small and
numerous for effective removal by conventional conveyor systems.
• Faster and easier recycling resulting from coolant draining off.
• Reduced build-up of fine chips in clean tank results in less
downtime for cleaning.
• Cleaner coolant improves machining accuracy and prolongs tool life.
• Cleaner coolant reduces the costs of coolant replacement and
coolant disposal.
• Reduced plugging of through-the-tool or through-the-spindle
coolant holes reduces the possibility of tool breakage, workpiece
damage and unscheduled downtime.
• No moving external parts.
• Submersible watertight construction. BUDGETARY PRICING

Angled Conveyor
4061 Applications
The angled conveyor Type 4061 is a universal conveyor. It offers the option to move easily from
the horizontal to the incline section. Due to the excellent quality of the belt, the bearings and the drive
motor, this conveyor is totally reliable, durable and maintenance free. The most important parts are made
from anodized aluminum profiles and are built by flexible unit construction. A sealing lip on both sides as
well as an additional “labyrinth” construction of the profiles ensures a positive sealing of the conveyor is
also suitable for very small plastic parts.
A new kind of hinge joint together with an automatic tensioning device allow a constant tension of the belt at 0 - 60 degrees. The tension of the belt no longer
requires adjustment. A new type of belt guide ensures the belt’s reliable operation, even with extreme angle settings.
The special drive roller guarantees that the belt runs perfectly, even with heavy loads and without flexing on the bend. The height is adjusted by a threaded
spindle. The conveyor is equipped with casters (lockable).

Slip Torque®
The Slip Torque® conveyor is based on polished stainless steel shafts individually powered by flexible belts
on a line shaft or by a continuous chain. These stainless steel shafts are covered with segmented, loose-fit
rollers, which become the conveying surface.
It is the weight of the product being conveyed combined with the coefficient of friction between
the shafts and the inside diameter of the rollers that provides the driving force. As the weight of the
product increases, there is a corresponding increase in the driving force supplied. As the product stops, the
segmented rollers beneath it also stops, creating very low back pressure accumulation and reducing
product damage, jamming, scuffing and shingling.
Slip-Torque® offers the freedom of multi-lane, bi-directional, and reversible product travel within one
frame. Applications include precise positioning for a robot to accumulate with a packaging system. This
conveyor is often observed in industries such as electronics, printing, manufacturing, and automobile
component manufacturing.

PRODUCT JUSTIFICATION
Products may be justified either to the right or to the left as they are
conveyed on the ART. Simply install the angle roller top belt with all
rollers angled to the right or to the left and products may be justified
against a low friction guard rail as they are conveyed. Products travel
approximately 50-60% faster than the belt travels, depending on
friction of the product on the guard rail.
PRODUCT CENTERING
Products may be centered as they are conveyed on the ART. For
product centering, two belts are installed side by side with each
having rollers set at opposite angles and angled toward the center in
a herringbone fashion. Products travel up to 60% faster than the belt
speed and exit the Model ART in the center of the conveyor width.

PRODUCT DESCRAMBLING
Many times products get scrambled or side-by-side when being
conveyed. This is especially true when handling small or unevenly
weighted products, particularly at high speeds. This presents a real
challenge when the need arises to sort these scrambled products.
The Model ART can be utilized very effectively in descrambling
products prior to sort operations when other methods may not
be cost effective. The configuration of the ART system will vary
depending on the particular throughput demands and product
sizes that need descrambling. The following diagrams show a few
possible layouts for effectively descrambling products. BUDGETARY PRICING

1. SINGULATOR - Packages enter the 1 T
singulator infeed and are driven to one side I
by skewed rollers. Successive sets of rollers O
increase in speed and create spaces between N
the packages. The skewed rollers align the
packages to one side of the unit to form a
straight line.
2. SIDE BY SIDE REMOVER - The side 2
by side remover consists of three parts: a
high friction belt, a skewed-away roller
section, and a parallel roller section that
is in line with package flow. The width of
the friction belt is the same width as the
narrowest package to be processed. Packages
that contact the friction belt are transported
on through, while those that lie on the skewed
rollers are deviated to a recirculation slide and
onto the recirculating conveyor, then return to
the beginning of the singulator.
3. FLOW CONTROLLER - Next, packages
enter the flow controller, consisting of two 4
sequential narrow belts, which remove large
side by side packages and meter the rate of
packages discharged. Doubles and overflow
packages are pulled off the narrow flow 3
controller belt by a powered roller and sent
down the slide. BUDGETARY PRICING

One of the factors that make metal mesh belt adaptable to so many applications is that it is available in many different materials. From sub zero to 2200°F,
whatever the corrosive conditions may be, metal mesh belts may be woven of virtually all wrought alloys that can be drawn into wire form.
The standard edging for frictionally driven metal mesh belts is the welded selvage. For applications or belt constructions where weld are not desirable, a
knuckled selvage may be used. A variation of the knuckled selvage, which provides a smooth outer edge as well as strength, is the ladder selvage. Other
selvages can be produced to suit application needs.

Power Roller
Working Concept
The turning force of the motor (outer rotor) is transmitted through the shock absorber to
the planetary gearing. The planetary gearing drives the inner gear which is affixed to the
roller tube. The tube will rotate because the output shaft (stator) is held stationary by the
conveyor frame.

The precision bearing tapered roller can be used in many applications such as warehouse and
distributions centers, skewed roller sections, merges, and high speed sortation.
These precision bearing rollers offer three times the life of conventional rollers at decibel Precision Bearings
levels far below the OSHA mandated 90 dB ceiling. These rollers install quickly and easily
with virtually no maintenance and they are safe. You will not need to worry about shaft
cut-through that can cause worker injury from rollers of inferior quality.
Spring Load
The precision bearing tapered roller has a patented spring load design with self-adjusting
hexagonal tapered shuttle. Tension from the spring causes the shuttle to lock in the conveyor
frame’s mounting holes. Roller rattling, the leading cause of roller shaft and side frame wear, is Through-Shaft
eliminated. The design is so effective in eliminating frame wear that we stand behind a 10 year
performance guarantee.

Roller Coverings
Advantages
These roller coverings are smooth, high friction coverings for rollers and skate wheels which share
these advantages:
• Will not mark or scratch finished, sensitive, or coated products and materials.
• Absorbs impact and shock, further protecting finished products.
• Reduces system noise.
• Increased traction (up to fifteen times greater grip than uncoated rollers).
• Allows conveying up steeper inclines at higher line speeds.
• Maintains full load rating of rollers and wheels.
• Extraordinary cut and abrasion resistance ensures long system and component life.
• High visibility safety orange (85-A) or green (90-A).
• Large inventories ensure short lead times.
• USDA and FDA approved.
Koat-A-Roll®
Koat-A-Roll® is a non marking, rugged, slip-on covering for standard conveyor rollers. In addition to
damage reduction, the high friction surface provides for more secure conveying. This allows powered
conveying at steeper angles and greater elevations, offering a practical alternative to belt or vertical
systems. When bonded, Koat-A-Roll® also greatly increases the effectiveness of driver and diverter
rolls.
Koat-A-Roll® is made from 83 Shore A safety orange and 90 Shore A green Kastalon Polyurethane®. Koat-A-Roll® is stocked for 1 in. to 3.5 in.
diameter rollers, in ¹⁄8 in. wall thickness (also ¼ in. wall thickness for the most popular sizes of 1.9 in. and 2.5 in.) and 10 foot lengths. Additional sizes, wall
thicknesses, colors, and hardnesses can be special ordered. Factory installation, bonding and custom cutting are also available.
Vinyl Koat®
Vinyl-Koat® is a PVC roller covering that is a simple, cost effective alternative to dip coating. With its smooth, uniform ¹⁄8 in. wall thickness, Vinyl-Koat®
eliminates the inconsistent thickness and surface irregularities (drips, runs, and sags) of dip coating. Secondary machining and bearing contamination are
eliminated as Vinyl-Koat® is quickly installed over assembled rollers.
Vinyl-Koat®’s excellent chemical resistance makes this material especially attractive for corrosive and hostile environments, e.g. battery changers or
automated washing systems. Vinyl-Koat® is outstanding as a protective covering for plastic rollers. By absorbing shock and wear, full roller loads will be
effective throughout the coating’s entire life.
Vinyl-Koat® is stocked in 60 Shore A gray color for 1.90 in. and 2.50 in. rollers and in 90 Shore A blue color for 2.50 in. rollers. The 60-A material is
U.S.P.S. approved for postal system conveyors. The 90-A is tougher and better suited for heavier duty conveyors. This can be especially useful for battery
handling systems. Additional Vinyl-Koat® sizes, colors, and hardnesses are available.

Powered Transfer
MicroSpan® Transfer Applications
MicroSpan® Transfers are used when:
CAPABILITY
The MicroSpan® transfer, with its 5mm pitch chain and 6mm nosebar, can successfully transfer very small products from conveyor to conveyor. When
equipped with feed-off fingers and used in conjunction with a raised top chain conveyor, the gap between the transfer and conveyor can be as small as
10mm for end to end transfers. The unit is designed to move even delicate products between conveyors while maintaining consistent product orientation.
D
I CLEANLINESS
V All MicroSpan® transfers are fully washdown capable. When used with MultiSpan® conveyors, the transfer can be lifted out of place using a pair of
E integral, recessed lift-out handles. These handles serve as ready hand holds when removing the unit for cleaning.
R
T SAFETY
E The transfer’s lift out capability is also an important safety feature; if something becomes lodged on the infeed side, the unit will lift up.
R
S POWER OPTIONS
The MicroSpan® transfer can be slave driven from the drive shaft of a Designer System® conveyor. Power transmission is accomplished through an all
P gear drive, and the sprocket driven MicroSpan® chain requires no tracking mechanism.
U
S INDEPENDENTY POWERED
H When a slave-driven unit is not an option, MicroSpan® transfers can be powered by independent gearmotors. This design makes variable speeds possible,
E allowing the gap between consecutive parts to be increased or decreased.
R
S ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
MicroSpan® chain is available in three types: 4mm flat top, 4mm raised, and 6mm raised. The raised types can be used on inclines, when the product
A surface is soft and the raised points can aid in gripping the product. All MicroSpan® chain is made of acetal plastic and has a 5mm pitch. The 6mm nosebar
N is made of extruded #6063 aircraft grade aluminum, hard plated with a nickel alloy. Standard MicroSpan® sprockets are made of nylon and have a two
