The complete pallet and/or box movement systems are integrated by different units.
Linear conveyors.
They are in charge of transporting the pallet or box between two points in a straight line.
Transfer units.
They are in charge of transferring the pallet or box between two linear conveyors with 90º disposition, to make a change of direction of this same angle.
There are two main types of linear conveyors, depending on the technique of dragging the pallet or box:
Roller conveyors:
- Free rollers, without motorisation. The load slides by gravity with a slight inclination of the conveyor.
- Motorized rollers
Chain conveyors, with two or three chains (*):
- Single motorisation
- Independent motorisation
(*) For boxes with reduced section legs, the chain conveyor can be equipped with bases or platforms that act as adapters.
