Corner transfer units are used to transport conveyed materials in areas of the conveyor system where there is a change of direction or crossover. In most cases, the properties of the conveyed materials also determine the technical details of the corner transfer unit to be selected. In general, an up and down movement and a movement in the direction of travel must always be performed. When planning the system, care must be taken to ensure that the transfer switches the conveyed materials from longitudinal to transverse conveyance or vice versa.
The upwards and downwards movement can be performed using pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, motorised spindle drives or simply by motor-driven eccentric discs. Toothed belt, flat belt, chain, or roller conveyors can be used as conveying elements in the direction of travel. We have the right product for every application.
