Horizontal Motion Conveyors
Horizontal Motion Conveyor handles product with a gliding motion making it ideal for fragile snacks, cereals and seasoned / coated products. Horizon minimizes breakage and coating loss during handling, and eliminates condiment buildup on the conveyor bed. Horizon smoothly and quietly conveys the product, with the reliable performance you expect from key material handing conveyors.Horizontal Motion Conveyors are the answer for those processors who have experienced damage to friable or delicate products caused by the hopping and tumbling action common to other types of conveyors and feeders.
In foundry and metalworking applications, noise is greatly reduced because parts gently slide along the tray bottom. Horizontal motion conveyors are low maintenance, self-cleaning and available in a variety of tray shapes, widths and lengths. Drop gate discharge mechanisms can be provided along the length of the tray to allow materials to be deposited onto other conveyors or feeders.
The operating principle behind horizontal motion conveyor is simple and efficient – a smooth forward horizontal motion followed by a quick return. Material moves ahead through differential friction along the pan without the bouncing and vertical impact experienced with a conventional vibrating conveyors. Gentle material flow and simple, uncluttered construction make this linear conveying system ideal for moving bulk materials such as foundry sand, chemicals, scrap, and food products.
