We build Towline conveyors, which are embedded in the floor or are low to the ground.
- Typically, towlines use a cart or dolly which allows engagement with the system’s chain through a towpin.
- They are versatile, utilizing stops, and chain to chain transfers.
- These conveyors are used to navigate product through robotic paint systems, for assembly lines and washer systems.
- System loads include, but are not limited to 80,000 lbs of product per chain on a flat plane.
CHAIN ON EDGE
This type of conveyor consists of an embedded track with trolleys carried by chain. Therefore, they require two tracks for a straight run, a live track and a return track. Chain on edge towlines are more flexible as they can make any curve desired.
CHAIN ON FLAT
These towline conveyors are a more cost effective approach to conveying dollies. The cost savings of a chain on flat system come from a simpler chain and can return in the same track that is conveying the product. A chain on flat cannot, however make curves.
