Custom 3200 Z-Frame Conveyor Takes Abrasive Metal Discs to New Heights

3200 Z-Frame ConveyorThe Problem:

In a recent application, a customer needed to move sharp, abrasive, metal roofing discs from a low elevation to a higher elevation to optimize their manufacturing process.  

The Solution:

We designed a custom 3200 Series Z-Frame conveyor that could accommodate the height requirements and product weight and material.

The Details

The metal discs are bulk feed into the horizontal to incline portion of the conveyor. Using high side guiding and a custom drop cute cover we’re able to contain the product and reduce product loss. The product then inclines up the cleated belt and reaches a height of 132” where it exists the conveyor into a vibratory hopper that feeds 5-gallon buckets to a specified weight, discharges, gets packaged, and prepared for shipping. 

3200 Series Custom Painted FrameOther features and specifications of the Custom 3200 Z-Frame System include:

  • 24” wide, 132” tall, 3200 Series Conveyor with a T-Slot frame for each attachment of accessories
  • Cleated, flush grid (open mesh) modular belt
  • Standard-load VFD gearmotor
  • Custom stainless steel drop chute cover and high side guiding
  • Custom 2.5” weldment painted frame
  • Controls mounted in a nema enclosure
  • Stop/Start laser sensor for integration with customer’s hopper

Additionally, we painted the frame system green, per the customer’s specifications, to match their facility.
