Description
Modern day methods of production in all fields of endeavor demand greater efficiency, better utilization of expended efforts and elimination of wasted man-hours. In the meat packing industry a step in this direction has been made by the increased use of track conveyors.
The 4″ Roller I-Beam Conveyor utilizes stamped steel trolleys with plastic wheels which roll on the I-beam flange. A drop finger attachment is mounted to a X458 chain which is supported by the I-beam trolleys. For certain applications this style of conveyor can be used as a captive type conveyor with hooks (or other attachments) mounted directly to the chain which eliminates the need for track and hangers. The benefits of a 4″ Roller I-beam Conveyor System are : smoother, quieter operation and less maintenance as well as a vertical curve feature to overcome any elevation obstacles. Immediate results are increased production per unit of man-hours, greater sanitation, and elimination of the non-productive efforts of pushing trolleys along a rail. Rate of slaughtering and dressing can be geared to a desired rate or to plant limitations rather than to the personal ability of the slowest man on the line.
