    BPS Chain Transfer Conveyors: Right-Angle Efficiency

    BPS Chain Transfer Conveyors use a pneumatic lift mechanism to raise chain strands through the gaps in the roller conveyor. This allows the chain to engage the bottom of the load, transferring it at a right angle to its original path. This feature is crucial for sorting, diverting, or repositioning loads in dynamic production or warehouse environments.

    Versatile Load Handling for Heavy-Duty Applications

    Designed for unitized and palletized loads, BPS Chain Transfer Conveyors excel when bottom pallet boards are aligned either perpendicular or parallel to rollers. Whether for side loading/unloading, accumulation zones, or precision-alignment requirements, this conveyor type supports efficient and consistent movement of items such as pallets, containers, and other unitized loads.

    Industry-Specific Performance

    BPS Chain Transfer Conveyors are ideal for a wide range of industries. In chemical processing, they manage containerized loads in harsh conditions. In concrete production, they streamline the movement of heavy molds or pallets. Food and beverage operations benefit from their hygienic and efficient load transfer capabilities, while mining and recycling facilities appreciate their ruggedness and ability to handle irregular or abrasive loads.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can the Chain Transfer Conveyor handle large or awkwardly shaped loads?
    Arrow
    Yes. The conveyor’s robust frame and customizable chain configurations make it suitable for various load sizes and shapes, as long as the weight capacity is respected.
    How do I maintain consistent speeds across multiple conveyors?
    Arrow
    By integrating compatible motor drives and using a centralized control system (like a PLC), you can synchronize speed settings for a smooth, continuous flow of materials.
    Is the conveyor customizable for different operating environments (wet, high-heat, etc.)?
    Arrow
    Absolutely. Specialized materials, coatings, or seals can be used to adapt the conveyor to challenging conditions—just specify your environmental requirements when consulting with the manufacturer.
    What maintenance schedule is recommended?
    Arrow
    A routine monthly check of chain tension, lubrication, and drive alignment is typically sufficient for most operations. More frequent inspections may be necessary in harsh or demanding environments.
