Adjustable lateral guide

Adjustable lateral guide/lane adjustment

Since packaging sizes, containers, and bottle designs are more variable than ever today, lanes in conveyor technology must also be highly flexible. It is important to have the simplest, most modular implementation of adjustment tasks. With a wide range of linear axes, from systems with a hand wheel to fully automated concepts using actuators and control systems, we offer every solution for easy lateral guide adjustment.

Roller conveyor bearing support

Roller conveyors

A wide variety of conveyor systems are used to move goods internally. But for roller conveyors, wheel conveyors, roller ball tables, or other transport methods, it is always important to have the right bearing support. iglidur plain bearings and xiros ball bearings, guide rollers, and ball transfer units require no lubrication or maintenance and can ensure reliable conveyor system function even in industries with heavy dirt loads and continuous operation.

HIGHLIGHTS

Two-component silent bearing

The combination of two polymers enhances dimensional stability and extends service life. Around one third the noise of standard deep groove ball bearings made of xirodur B180.

Electrostatically dissipative guide roller

This version ensures that unwanted electrostatic charge is dissipated by our own xirodur F180 material.

Conveyor belt bearing support

Conveyor belt bearing support

In goods feeding or other internal goods traffic, conveyor belt function must always be flawless. Product selection at conveyor belt bearing points helps ensure that it is. Even in continuous operation and when there is heavy contamination, bearing point operation should require as little maintenance as possible and be absolutely reliable.

Knife edge rollers

Knife edge rollers

Durable, wear-resistant knife-edge rollers made of iglidur material ensure that conveyor belts are reliably deflected even under high loads. The various iglidur materials offer the right properties for any application. For example, iglidur H1 is designed for continuous operation at particularly high temperatures, while iglidur A250 conforms to FDA and EU/2011 specifications.

Tribo-tape at fixed plates

Fixed plates

Products can wear quickly within the conveyor technology at fixed plates and on lane walls. To avoid scratches on beverage bottles and premature wear on cartons, surfaces must buffer and have as little friction as possible. Product and container service life can be extended with tribo-tape liners or bar stock plates made of friction-optimised iglidur materials.
