Flexco Europe present innovative solutions

What can be done to keep packages from accumulating at transition points in belt conveyor systems? This is a problem that Flexco Europe can solve. The manufacturer of mechanical belt fastening systems will be presenting its segmented transfer plates at LogiMAT from March 11 to 13. It will also be displaying new transfer plates for roller conveyors. The company will show how these solutions work using a demonstration model in Hall 1, Stand A25.

Flexco Europe will be presenting its segmented transfer plates for conveyor systems at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. With a low coefficient of friction, they provide reliable transfer points where items can easily slide from belt to belt or to the transfer hopper to transport packages and cartons safely. Conveyed material frequently accumulates at transfer points and falls to the ground, especially at airports. This can damage the contents of packages. With segmented transfer plates the material can glide smoothly from belt to belt. Flexco Europe offers two transfer plate variants, suitable for belts with widths of up to 1,524 millimeters and gaps of 100–250 or 75–150 millimetres. The bright yellow colour of the segments helps maintenance personnel monitor them and replace them quickly if necessary.

Roller conveyor transfer plates (RCTPs), which can be installed in belt-driven, shaft-driven, chain-driven and motorised roller conveyors, ensure that envelopes, polybags, and small parcels do not get lost between the rollers – a common problem in conveyor systems. The RCTP covers the gap between two rollers. With this solution, conveyors are not only more productive, but also safer. Employees no longer have to reach between the rollers to pull out products, reducing the risk of injury. The transfer plates are suitable for large quantities of packaged products that can differ greatly, ranging from soft and flexible to dense and compact. Visitors will have an opportunity to take a close look at them at the Flexco stand.

Flexco Europe will also exhibit another practical solution for transferring conveyed material safely – the Hitch Guard. The Hitch Guard keeps small objects from becoming lodged at critical points of the conveyor belts, where they can cause damage. If foreign objects become lodged along the belt profile, individual segments become detached from the support bar. The other segments do not move. The result is a high level of operational efficiency.

At LogiMAT Flexco will show a conveyor model to demonstrate how the Segmented Transfer Plates, the hitch protector and the new transfer plates for roller conveyors are operating.
