Case Studies
A pallet conveyor system has a mighty challenge
Pallets are essential for streamlining production flow and managing storage capacities, however, they can weigh an absolute tonne! Incredibly robust roller conveyors and fully bi-directional pallet lifts feature on this PJP pallet conveyor system which certainly offers flexibility and strength to transfer pallets.
A heavyweight system with tasty outputs
This system can easily handle a heavyweight pallet challenge. It transports, lifts and lowers multiple sized pallets weighing up to 1500Kg. The items that sit on the pallets vary a lot. One might contain tubs of powder, packaging materials, factory waste or finished goods, which in this case is delicious chocolate confectionary.
Horizontal and vertical journeys
Delivery waggons bring in the pallets. Special forklift load centre points ensure a safe transfer from trucks to a large transport conveyor.
Multiple locations then beckon. Pallets could travel along one level to go into bulk storage. Alternatively, they may need to be diverted to one of many operational locations on the first floor. Bespoke pallet lifts, specially designed and installed by PJP, transport the items up and down if this is the case.
No danger of hitching a ride on these lifts
Pallets feed in and out of the lifts in single file via dedicated pallet conveyor lanes. These conveyors include light guards at all entry and exit points to safely prevent operator access. This means only pallets can enter the system. If any other transport medium (or person) attempts to gain entry into a lift, the system instantly stops and requires manual resetting.
Safety is always important in material handling applications, but its importance is paramount when lifting and lowering heavy loads!
Exceptional results
This system is now used 24 hours per day, 5 days per week and has completely transformed operations on site. We have certainly created remarkable productivity increases in many processes with this system.
