The Function
A fast-back conveyor moves dry goods along a production line, moving the product slowly in one direction and then reversing the conveyor back at high speed. The conveyor motion can be gentle in moving the product without shaking it too much.
This type of conveyor is used to move:
• potato chips and seasoned foods – flavored potato chips or cereal,
seasoned nuts
• pharmaceuticals
• rice and grains
• small finished metal parts
The Problem
Producing just the right type of movement without damaging the
product is a complex engineering problem that usually requires intricate mechanical
solutions.
The Solution
As part of a linear servo system, the Moog motor’s programmability produces
optimum motion for any product without the expense and high maintenance of complex
mechanical systems. The Moog motor also is used with vibratory conveyors.
The result
•Faster conveyance speed, even up slopes
•Easy modification of motion profile for products requiring different motion
Moog motors can even be electronically geared together
to drive large
conveyors – impractical to impossible for mechanical systems to accomplish.
