FLEXconveyor2 is a Patent Pending easily reconfigurable conveyor system. It literally clamps together with no tools needed. One section or an entire plant, We can ship it in fully assembled or knocked down. Simply move the sections onto the floor, put them in position and quick clamp them in place. Instead of weeks or months to setup a factory it now take a few hours.
Each conveyor section is free standing on levelers. Additionally, a Patent Pending quick clamp and quick release device is attached to each end of the conveyor section. During installation all the engineer needs to do is to rough layout what they believe will work well. Bring in the needed quantity of sections of conveyor and quickly attach the sections together and lock the casters. Literally in a matter of a few hours an entire factory can be setup by just a few people.
- Each section of conveyor is free standing on levelers, for easy implementation and on the fly reconfiguration.
- Each section of conveyor has two H frame stands and has 4 levelers rated at 250lbs.
- Conveyor rollers are 1.375" Dia. x 25" between frames mounted on 6" centers.
- Conveyor height from floor to top of rollers is adjustable from 26.87" to 36.12"
- Patent Pending quick clamp, no tools required method of removing or adding a section of conveyor.
- Zinc Plated steel rollers and frame, fully ESD compliant with ESD drag chain on each conveyor section.
- Legs are only available in Bliss Blue, custom colors not available.
Conveyors in General
All types of conveyors are either free standing and bolted down to the floor, free standing and not bolted down, hang from the ceiling, or stand on wheels. Each section of conveyor is bolted together end to end in all these uses. The problem is that conveyors can be planned by engineers on paper, but rarely can an engineer envision every possible problem that might occur to be the most efficient way to run an assembly line. The time and cost to disassemble and reassemble to try a new method has been highly cost prohibitive. It can take many people several days to unbolt sections, move them around and re-bolt them. Along with drilling holes in the floor to bolt them down along with City Permits that may be required.
Benefit
Once production or product assembly has started, the engineer can watch the line run. As the engineer identifies bottlenecks on the line they simply hand sketch what sections need to be adjusted to eliminate the bottleneck. During a lunch break or at the end of the day the engineer can simply quick disconnect the sections needed and move them around and re-quick clamp them in the new configuration. Then watch production run. this can continue to infinitum. Additionally for a production line that has frequent product changes and needs to be reconfigured, this can be accomplished over and over as needed for one time orders or repeat orders. |
