Dorner Conveyors has come up with a custom solution to help customers that are in a limited space and do not have the room to add a traditional curve to their conveyor. Their result is a 90 degree product rotator.
When dealing with limited space, some applications require extremely flexible solutions. In this instance, the facility needed to increase capacity by adding equipment. The problem was that they did not have enough room for a traditional curve chain conveyor for the product takeaway. Dorner solved the application issue by engineering a 90 degree product rotator.
The compact sanitary rotator fit the customer’s requirement. Product is moved onto the conveyor, it is rotated 90 degrees and then the conveyor off loads the product and rotates back into place. In order to fit this sanitary environment, Dorner leveraged its AquaPruf product line of stainless steel conveyors. The AquaPruf line is designed for fast and effective sanitation that fits in even the harshest application.
Dorner has applied this solution for both 90 and 180 degree applications. In addition, we have pop up transfers that can work for compact spaces. To see an example of a pop up transfer click link below:
