Recirculation tables
Dynamic storage system for cylindrical products offering better utilisation of floor space
Technical features:
- Floor space: depending on conveyor width and length, overhead installation available
- Height: 800-1200 mm depending on line height
- Structure material: AISI 304
- Strip width: depending on product width
- Accumulation: depending on the space available in the plant
- Productivity: variable
Consisting of a central transit belt flanked by two wider belts in counterflow between them. At the stop of the central belt the others remain in motion and fill up by overflowing. At the restart the speed of the central belt is increased according to the recovery capacity of the line. Since the products are not guided inside the counter, except on the outer boundaries, the speeds must remain low and close to the nominal line speeds so that stability is ensured by mutual contact.
This system requires minimal operations in the case of format changes and offers better utilisation of floor space than the coil. They can also be used in the case of truncated cone products, using suitable containment roofs, provided that there is no risk of damage or tipping of the products in this way.
