Original Press Release:
Extending Alvey's Pallet-Handling Capabilities
Alvey's new Pallet Mat Conveyor, which can be used in tandem with palletizers like Alvey's 780 Series, features continuous slider pans that fully support the conveyor belt, enabling it to convey unstable or fragile unit loads such as loads of empty aluminum cans used in the beverage industry. This continuous surface also helps eliminate damage that can occur to plastic pallets that often operate on multi-stand chain conveyors.
At standard lengths of five and 10 feet, the Pallet Mat Conveyor has as its standard drive a shaft-mounted reducer/motor with a square shaft (turned-to-fit reducer) and metal tooth sprockets. Take-up for the Pallet Mat Conveyor is a pulley-augmented cantenary, which permits "jog" reverse capability. With a weight capacity of up to 3000 lbs., the Pallet Mat Conveyor's standard speeds are between 30 and 90 fpm. Both the 780 Series Case Palletizer and the Pallet Mat Conveyor are supported by Alvey Systems industry-leading Customer Service & Support (CSS) program.
"The Pallet Mat reinforces Alvey's commitment to our material handling and packaging customers," says Alvey conveyor product manager Mike Hale. "Our roots have always been in service to these industries. The Pallet Mat continues along in this vein."
