Loose Container Conveyor
Loose Container Conveyor
Empty and Full Containers
The Loose Container Conveyor serves as the link between individual machine centers, it’s the backbone to performance. The width of the conveyor, number of transfers, guide rail design and amount of accumulation are critical to how your equipment runs.
Function and Fit
- Layout design is the most important step.
- Start-up is quick, setting up your long-term system success.
- Ensuring accumulation levels provide sufficient reaction time between machine centers.
- Accessibility for material flow.
Clean Design
Descon Loose Container Conveyors feature clean design for easy cleaning and simple maintenance.
- Platform style or open construction.
- Clean-out access holes for washing.
- Tapered spacers behind legs and brackets.
- Tubular welded sanitary support structures.
- Minimization of flat surfaces that can collect dust.
- Integrated conveyor cleaning headers.
- Peaked, formed dust covers to minimize can exposure to foreign material.
Available Options
Descon provides many Loose Container Conveyor options to enhance efficiency, productivity, and ensuring safety.
- Programmable automatic container guides using DC linear actuators.
- Stainless steel or powder coated carbon steel.
- Auto lubrication and Run-Dry systems.
- Integrated internal cleaning manifolds.
- Pre-mounted motor isolation switches.
- Integrated electrical wireways.
- Drip pans and dust covers.
- Duck unders for safe passage.
Loose Container Conveyor Features
Transport
Descon takes advantage of the latest developments in conveyor chain technology so that you see the benefits. These include low friction factors, flatness and wear characteristics.
Features
- Suitable for cans, glass, and PET, PVC, HDPE bottles, round and non-round.
- Available in single chain or mass conveying.
- Parallel, Dynamic DTS or S-Box type transfers.
- Varying chain types including plastic modular belting and stainless steel slat chains.
- Universal splice plates and integrated stainless-steel leg supports.
- Integrated electrical wireways.
Accumulation
Accumulation is vital to the success of any well-running line. By absorbing product during downstream stoppages, more critical machine centers can continue producing, therefore improving your bottom line.
Benefits
- Production continues during downstream stoppages.
- Suitable for cans, glass and plastic bottles, round and non-round.
- Provides significant accumulation with minimum floor space.
- Simple synchronization between critical machine centers.
- FIFO (first-in, first-out) accumulation or FILO (first-in, last-out) accumulation.
Pressureless Single-Filer
Our Pressureless Single Filers singulate containers from mass at high speeds, eliminating the possibility of a downstream shutdown.
Benefits
- Suitable for cans, glass and plastic bottles, round and non-round.
- 100% down bottle evacuation.
- High speeds:
- Cans up to 1,700 cpm
- Full PET and glass up to 1,400 bpm
- Empty PET up to 1,000 bpm
- Simple changeover between container formats
