Conveyor Cleaner Airogap Co. Inc. Oak Lawn, III.
System
Nonmotorized conveyor cleaning system for monorails or enclosed tracks improves finish quality and cuts paintline costs. By removing conveyor contaminants, rejects from fallout and costly reworks are eliminated. Continual cleaning ensures constant conveyor grounding, cuts overspray, and allows coaters more precise control over film builds, which cuts wasteful over-deposition. The Chain/Trolley Cleaner, when mounted just before the line enters the washer, helps keep conveyor din and grease away from washer chemicals or powder reclaim systems. Companion rail cleaners remove buildup throughout the entire line.

Systems
and Com-
The Rapid Flex Enclosed Track Conveyor is available from Rapid Industries. The medium-duty conveyor is available in both a synchronous, continuous, overhead model and a nonsynchronous, power-and-free model, which features automatic dispatch, accumulation, switching, and computer-integrated control packages. Either conveyor may be inverted when overhead installation is not desired. The systems will transport individual unit loads ranging from 75 lb on the synchronous model to 1,000 lb on the power-and-free model.

Track & Chain
Pacline’s C-250 Series conveyor chain is designed for medium capacity loads of up to 50 lb per pendant. The universal link conveyor chain traveling inside a round conveyor track allows for greater flexibility in both the horizontal and vertical planes. Horizontal curves are available down to a 9-in. radius. Other standard radii are 12 in., 18 in, 24 in., and 36 in. All track sections are formed from special alloy steel with curves heat treated for wear resistance. Zinc plating provides corrosion protection. Each track section is prefabricated with a joining flange at each end, simplifying installation. Onsite welding is not necessary. Loads can be transported in the conventional way, as a hanging load, or the system can be inverted to convey load-carrying trays.
