Powered Roller Conveyor | Tranzband | Lineshaft Conveyor

Whether straights, transfers, accumulation, around bends or through gates, Tranzband powered roller conveyors (or line shaft roller conveyors), with inbuilt accumulation, are proven in many industrial applications. The basis of the system is a tough polyurethane belt, which enables each grooved roller to be independently driven from a common line shaft. It’s simple, yet provides the whole system with reliability, efficiency and flexibility.

Tranzband is often used as an accumulating conveyor, as the rollers will stop turning when there is something stopping the item on top from moving, however when this is released, the rollers will return to being driven. This is because of a lineshaft spool which increases the wear life of the driven roller belt, and this lineshaft spool slips on the shaft opposed to the roller rubber band which decreases wear and is a safety feature. 

Features & Benefits

• Modular design for quick installation, which also means they can be modified or added to easily
• Built in accumulation allows rollers under product to stop when it comes up against a physical stop
• Accumulation pressure is adjustable
• Tapered rollers give accurate powered transfer around bends
• Shaft is mounted so it can be lifted straight out the top of the conveyor – this means any replacement or maintenance work is quick and easy to do. 
• Joiner flanges are built into the frame design meaning no joiner plates are needed
• Safe - Spacers between drive spools, no pinch points or chains and fully guarded underneath
• Safety edges on straight sections and smooth frame on bends means there is no risk of staff injuring themselves on protruding roller shafts.

Uses

• Warehousing and Distribution
• Fruit/Vegetable carton and crate packing
• Meat - carton handling
• Product Manufacturing
• Logistics and baggage handling

Accessories

Chain Transfer
Used to transfer another product onto a conveyor line at 90°.

Drop Gate
Creates a gap in the line to feed off meter into machinery e.g case taper, labelling machine or weigh scale.

Linebrake
A series of rollers to lower accumulation pressure or create gaps between products.

Pedestrian Access Gate
Allows a pedestrian through conveyor lines, as the gate lifts up, the drive on the gate disengages. Safe design with no pinch points. 

Accelerator
Speeds up a series of rollers to create a gap between cartons.
