A compression conveyor maintains the corrugated boxes in position while continuously applying mild pressure as they are moved past the case identification processes of the application. By compressing the case from above onto the smooth running conveyor below, the printer heads can print complete data including company logo, product logo, bar coding, branding, etc. with supreme quality and clarity onto the moving cases.
In a recent situation, the customer required a straight running, mild steel constructed timing belt compression conveyor, designed with a fixed lower conveyor and adjustable upper conveyor belt.
A simple hand crank utilizing hydraulic lift cylinders was incorporated to easily raise or lower the upper belt into position to allow for packages of varying height and size to pass through the compression conveyor successfully.
Other features/benefits include:
- Adjustable compression height
- Quick release belting
- Variable speed
- Closed top construction
- Roller return
- No guide rails required
