Automatic loading and unloading of circular conveyors with hangers

摘要

The conveyor has hangers (1) with carriers for goods (4). The carriers are formed by projecting teeth (5). A transfer station has continuous transfer chains (6) with projecting transfer teeth (7). The transfer chain speed is the same as the conveyor transportation speed, and loading/unloading of goods is automatic. Several carriers are positioned above each other. The transfer chain is driven by the circular conveyor chain via a mechanical coupler element. The circular conveyor is connected to a further conveyor (9), which supplies and removes the goods.
