Quiet and gentle
conveying technology
for a long-term customer

Once more, the division GOESSLING was able to convince with the right machines and its expertise and received another order. The client’s demand was to handle the discharge of screws from a thread roller into the client’s containers in a quiet and gentle fashion. An automated operation and complying to space restrictions on site were additional demands.

As a solution, GOESSLING designed and manufactured an L-shaped Hinged-Belt Conveyor with an adjustable incline. The machine has an effective width of 400 mm and an axle-base of 2.400 mm with an incline of 35 degrees. This conveyor feeds the screws into a discharge slide with a special coating. Using an automated flap, the slide can store material. When opened, the screws slide onto an automatic horizontal load pusher. The starting position of the load pusher is at the bottom of the client’s container. As the content in the container rises, so does the level of the load pusher. The incline is also adjusted according to the fill level of the container. Thanks to the mobile nature of the machine, a gentle and quiet conveying process is guaranteed.

When a container has been filled, it is moved with a Hinged-Belt-Chain Conveyor and the next container takes its place. In the charge and discharge bays, the containers are moved manually by forklifts.

There is a special feature included in the electronics. Each screw type has an individual machine setting pre-programmed to optimize the material flow and filling process. The successful commissioning took place in July.
