Vertical conveyor with bunker

Details MTF Technik Hardy Schürfeld GmbH & Co. KG

Task: Space-saving conveying of plastic parts between machines

Plastic parts are produced on an injection molding machine and are to be fed into an assembly line

The assembly machine is located very close to the injection molding machine, so that only little space is available

In case of malfunctions in the assembly machine, production should initially continue and the parts should be buffered accordingly

If the assembly machine is ready for operation, the parts should be fed automatically as needed

If the assembly machine is not in operation for a longer period of time, it must be possible to manually eject the parts

Solution: Vertical conveyor with collecting hopper

Combination of an angled conveyor belt type NL-HE 010 for the disposal of the injection molding machine and transport of the parts into the collecting hopper of a vertical conveyor type PLF-Sonder

The vertical conveyor transports the parts into the vibrating conveyor of the assembly machine

A sensor at the chute outlet monitors the parts level in the vibratory conveyor. When the maximum fill level is reached (adjustable), the conveyor stops. Once the fill level has dropped again, the vertical conveyor starts up again.

The vertical conveyor is controlled by a frequency converter with special programming

If necessary, the chute below the belt outlet can be manually swivelled to remove parts from the automatic process (e.g. during a longer downtime of the assembly line)
