Selecting a Conveyor Type 1 Factors influencing the selection Conveyed product The conveyor is selected while taking into consideration the product weight, the distributed load, the over all load, the dimensions and the product transport position. Specific product properties such as temper ature, sensitivity to shock, whether the product contains oil or has sharp edges also influence the selection. Transport route The most suitable conveyor system is determined based on whether the product is conveyed with a specified orientation (e.g. using a pallet) or without a particular order and...

Speed – continuous operation compared to cycling operation The diagrams show the need for a higher maximum speed in cycling operation compared to continuous operation. In addition, they show an example of the course of a cycling operation with soft start-up and standstill for a different action (e.g. to process the conveyed product). Continuous operation compared to cycling operation Example of cycling operation Vmax Cycling operation (a=const.) Vmedium Standstill for other action Full load Selecting motors based on speed and load This diagram can be used to determine the motor power...

Drive Location Motor Selection The head drive is located on the discharge end of the conveyor and pulls the transport medium, e.g. the belt. This is the most common, safest and most affordable drive position. If you have location restrictions, you can also install a head drive on the infeed end for use as a rear drive (pushing). In this case, however, you must provide adequate pre-tension and prevent the transport medium from getting kinked. Our standard product range also includes a variety of different stock equipment motors from well-known manufacturers. These gearmotors, consisting of...
