Vertical Conveyor with Hopper

Task: Space-saving conveying of plastic parts between machines

Plastic parts are produced on an injection moulding machine and should be transferred to an assembly line
The assembly line is located very close to the injection moulding machine, so there is only very limited space available
On machine downtime of the assembly line the production must not stop and the parts have to be stored intermediately
When the assembly line is working the parts should be feeded automatically
It must be possible to manually unload the buffer (e.g. on longer machine downtime)

Solution: Vertical conveyor with collecting hopper

Combination of an angled conveyor type NL-HE 010 to transfer the parts from the injection moulding machine into the hopper of a vertical conveyor type PLF-Special
The vertical conveyor transfers the parts into the vibration hopper of the assembly line
A sensor at the outlet of the chute controls the level of parts in the vibration unit. On maximum level (adjustable) the conveyor stops. If the level has reached a desired level the conveyor starts again
The conveyor is controlled by a frequency inverter with a special software
On demand the chute underneath the outlet of the vertical conveyor can be manually swiveled to remove the parts out of the automatic process (e.g. on longer machine downtime)
