Since packaging sizes, containers, and bottle designs are more variable than ever today, lanes in conveyor technology must also be highly flexible. It is important to have the simplest, most modular implementation of adjustment tasks. With a wide range of linear axes, from systems with a hand wheel to fully automated concepts using actuators and control systems, we offer every solution for easy lateral guide adjustment.

With the drygear Apiro modular gearbox system, e.g. entry lanes can be implemented in an extremely modular and cost-effective way.

A wide variety of conveyor systems are used to move goods internally. But for roller conveyors, wheel conveyors, roller ball tables, or other transport methods, it is always important to have the right bearing support. iglidur plain bearings and xiros ball bearings, conveyor rollers, and ball transfer units require no lubrication or maintenance and can ensure reliable conveyor system function even in industries with heavy dirt loads and continuous operation.

When selecting guide rollers, it is worth looking at the details and also considering solutions – depending on the application – that go beyond the standard. This applies, for example, to the materials (it doesn't always have to be metal) and the possibilities of 3D printing. This white paper provides conveyor system designers with tips on how to find the optimum guide roller for their application.

In goods feeding or other internal goods traffic, conveyor belt function must always be flawless. Product selection at conveyor belt bearing points helps ensure that it is. Even in continuous operation and when there is heavy contamination, bearing point operation should require as little maintenance as possible and be absolutely reliable.

The renowned Belgian brewery Chimay, known for its traditional Trappist beer, is using lubrication-free igubal H3 spherical insert bearings in its bottling line instead of the previously installed metal ball bearings, which were constantly rusting, damaging the shafts and causing machine downtime. The change has enabled the brewery to increase its efficiency and reduce maintenance work.

Durable, wear-resistant knife-edge rollers made of iglidur material ensure that conveyor belts are reliably deflected even under high loads. The various iglidur materials offer the right properties for any application.For example, iglidur H1 is designed for continuous operation at particularly high temperatures, while iglidur A250 conforms to FDA and EU/2011 specifications.

iglidur knife edge rollers are used in the conveyor belts of Krones AG at high speeds and in continuous operation.

Products can wear quickly within the conveyor technology at fixed plates and on lane walls. To avoid scratches on bottles and premature wear on cartons, surfaces must buffer and have as little friction as possible. Product and container service life can be extended with tribo-tape liners or bar stock plates made of friction-optimised iglidur materials.

Liner in the area of the collection container and the ejection chute minimises frictional resistance in this filling system.

Storage and buffer tables can serve as parts storage to easily handle production peaks. Both drylin toothed belt axes and tribo-tape liners ensure that no maintenance is required.
