Conveyor retractable gate

The retractable gate:

Is designed to horizontally retract into itself

Operated by a simple-to-use hand crank

Provides a standard pass through opening of 30 in.

Can be paired back-to-back to extend the pass-through opening to 60 in.

Includes adjustable guide rails

Can be used with any TableTop conveyor system

The use of a retractable gate conveyor can reduce the overall production line footprint by eliminating the need to design around traffic patterns and promotes a safer environment with employees no longer walking under conveyors when navigating the production floor.

The Conveyor Retractable Gate is the latest addition to the ProCore family of conveyors and conveying equipment. The ProCore family of conveying systems are engineered with a purpose: to maximize packaging line performance, reduce changeover times, and get products from point A to point B efficiently.
