Linked Conveyor System for Ammunition

Task: Gentle parts transport of bullit casings to a production machine

Bullit casings shall be given from plastic containers to a bunker and feeded to a production machine tailored to demand. The capacity of the bunker shall be 300l.
Per minute approx. 250 bullit casings will be processed.
The production machine is equipped with two centrifugal feeders. Sensors on site detect the filling level. The feeding shall be according to the demand.
After the first production machine the bullit casings shall be feeded to a second machine, optionally they shall be distributed to buffer containers.
The transport has to be carried out gentle. The parts must not be damaged. A deadlock has to be excluded.
Interfaces to the production machines have to be processed by the controller.
Since there is lack of space at the machines, passages for the staff has to be available. The sketch shows that as a red block
Highest process reliability is important, i.e. no bullit casing may remain on the belts when the type is changed. The presence of containers has to be detected, a change of a container has to confirmed, etc.

Solution: Soundproof conveyor system linked with multi-rounder and distribution switch

Combination of a GL-conveyor with big stainless steel hopper and a PL-conveyor equippped with a pneumatic junction plate to divide the flow rate to the circular feeders.
ZL-conveyor with a fixed 75° angle right after the first production machine, equipped with a chute to pass on to a rounder. This chute consists of a special stainless noise suppression sheet with integrated cascades to reduce fall velocity.
Rounder with polycarbonate cover to guide the parts optionally to the hopper of the second production machine or into the containers.
The PL und ZL-conveyors are equipped with a hard wearing polyester belt (MTF-belt no. 12) with extra large cleats. The belt is guided in order to achieve a minimum gap between guiding profile and cleat.
The guiding profiles of the conveyors are completely covered with stainless steel. The punts are welded and trimmed to avoid any hems.
Complex controller, brand VIPA (similar. Siemens S7), to control the complete system including illustration of the interfaces to the production machines.
The steep parts of the belts are covered with flexible material above the cleats in order to avoid a backslide of parts.
All conveyors have a top cover made from polycarbonate.
