Chip and Parts Conveyors

Friday, August 01, 2008

Chip and Parts Conveyors—Chip and parts conveyors from Eriez, Erie, PA, are featured in a brochure that explains their unique internal track system called Tuf-Trac, designed for low maintenance, quiet operation and long service life.

Eriez conveyors provide a virtually maintenance-free way to move and elevate ferrous materials such as chips, turnings, small parts and stampings. Except for an externally mounted drive motor, the unit is self-contained, and the conveyor mechanism is completely enclosed. There are no moving external parts to jam, break or endanger personnel.

Eriez permanent-magnet conveyors use a continuous series of ceramic magnets to pick up and glide material along the stainless-steel slider plate. Material then is discharged over the head end.
