Pallet conveyance based on gearless roller conveyors
Gearless roller conveyors are deployed when the pallet has been loaded stably: the products have already been wrapped or are positioned stably on the pallet.
The propulsion is manual or gearless under an angle.
Braking rollers are installed in relation to gearless pallet conveyance over a large length to limit the increase in speed of the pallet. Pneumatic stops are also provided at the removal station.
ITRA can offer modular solutions at very competitive prices.
