TRANSPORTADOR DE RETORNO

1 Edge bander + 1 Return Conveyor = 1 fully productive operator, a streamlined workflow, less handling damage, less rejects…  Unlike their human counterpart, an automated system needs no hiring, no training, does not take off sick and works extended hours without receiving extra money. This is true for all Return Conveyors installed on shaper/sanders, single end tenoners, planers and wide belt sanders.

Operating Principle: Its receiving rollers are equipped with a down stroke mechanism that is activated by detection of the trailing end of the panels exiting your equipment.  Transfer belts nested in between the rollers are used to side shift product to a set of motorized rollers parallel to your equipment.  Those return rollers are lower than the pass line on your equipment in order to avoid interference when overlapping panels are traveling in opposite directions.  Once the panels have cleared the reception area, the receiving rollers return to their upper position ready to receive the next panel.

Infeed Device: All models come standard with motorized rollers to ensure a smooth transition between your equipment and the receiving rollers.  All  models can be supplied with receiving arms as an option.

Operating Speed: Are equipped with a variable speed drive to match the processing speed of your equipment, receiving table speed is adjustable 30 to 90 feet per minute, belt transfer speed is fixed at 180 feet per minute and return conveyor speed is adjustable 60 to 180 feet per minute. 

Direction of Return: According to your indications, are built for right or left-handed return. However, they remain adaptable to your changing needs throughout their useful life. Transfer and return orientation can be field modified from right-hand to left-hand and vice-versa. Options such as the panel deviator for narrow parts and panel turner for oversize rectangular parts can be added-on and the transfer section can be broadened.
