Dorner Gangs Up to Enhance its 2200 Series Conveyors
HARTLAND, Wis., (Dec. 23, 2002) - Dorner Mfg. Corp. is putting another gang to good use. Dorner this month expanded its gang drive system for 2200 Series conveyors. Gang drive is an option that allows multiple conveyors to be driving from one drive shaft by using thru-hex-bored pulleys.

Performance and specifications for a 2200 Series gang drive conveyor are the same as a regular 2200 Series with the following exceptions:

o Pulley diameter is 1 inch, compared to 1.25 diameter for regular 2200 Series.
o Gang drive pulley is hollow to allow a hex shaft to extend through it to drive multiple conveyors.
