Enclosed Track Overhead Conveyor The PAC-LINE? (Model C-250)

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides comprehensive guidelines and specifications for PACLINE's enclosed track overhead conveyor systems, detailing their applications, design considerations, and installation procedures.

Specifications: The PACLINE enclosed track conveyor is engineered for medium capacity loads up to 50 lbs per pendant, with options to increase load capacity by coupling multiple pendants. It supports both horizontal and vertical operations, accommodating various inclines.

Design Guidelines: A step-by-step process is outlined for assessing the suitability of an overhead conveyor, focusing on product carriers, load capacities, and production rates. Emphasis is placed on designing carriers for adequate clearance and balance, particularly on curves and elevation changes.

Components and Features: Key components include carriers, curves, take-up assemblies, and support structures. Curves are available in standard sizes and are designed for wear resistance. The take-up assembly ensures smooth chain operation, even under varying temperatures.

Installation and Support: Guidance is provided for supporting the conveyor system using floor or ceiling mounts, with spacing recommendations based on load per foot. Safety measures, such as warning signs and emergency stops, are also highlighted.

Advantages: The PACLINE system offers benefits like a prefabricated modular design for easy installation, protection from contaminants, and efficient space utilization. Its low-profile track design is ideal for compact environments such as ovens and spray booths.

Additional Components: Various support and attachment components are described, including angle iron supports, track joining flanges, beam clamps, and bracing connectors, all designed to facilitate installation and maintenance.

Connector Specifications: The connector is designed for mounting from optimal points, such as a roof girder or SB-750 wall clip, featuring a standard RH ½” threaded rod with a zinc-plated finish.

Pipe Support Assembly: The preferred conveyor support method involves a ¾” I.D. Sch. 40 pipe, which is entirely bolted to eliminate the need for overhead welding, and includes an adjustable lower clamp for easy leveling. The assembly is zinc-plated for durability.

Conveyor Applications: The system is suitable for various applications, including empty carton handling, trash handling, powder coating and finishing, over/under parts buffers, parts accumulation and storage, and assembly lines.

PACLINE Customer Support: PACLINE provides detailed installation and maintenance manuals, design and simulation services using Solidworks, technical information on their website, complete control capabilities, and worldwide installation services.

Design Guidelines PACLINE Enclosed Track Conveyor An enclosed track overhead conveyor consists of a powered chain running within a round track. Loads are suspended from the chain pendants that stick out of the slot of the track. This conveyor is considered for synchronous operation, where the loads carried all move at the same speed. The chain can be stopped and started as desired, but all loads will react similarly. required. It can also run inverted with the pendant facing up in certain applications.
