Pneumatic conveyor for lightweight products such as bottles has ducts connected by a flexible points system and actuating mechanism

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The conveyor, designed for moving lightweight products such as bottles by means of an air flow, consists of upstream (1) and downstream (2) ducts connected by a flexible points system (3) that allows products to be directed between ducts. The points system is mounted on a supporting structure, is fixed at one end (3') and adjustable at the other (3") by a reciprocating mechanism (5). The flexibility of the points system is provided by a flexible guide strip that supports a pneumatic propulsion system. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Controlling the direction of movement of lightweight products such as bottles being propelled by an air flow through ducts. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The points system provides an easy means for changing the direction of the transported products, with a reduction in inertia that makes for higher operating rates. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of the pneumatic conveyor points system. 1 : Upstream ducts 2 : Downstream ducts 3 : Points system 3', 3" : Ends of points system 5 : Reciprocating mechanism.
