Scrap Removal
Pax Products Booth S4314
Pax Products, Inc., Celina, OH, will display the EGD-50 oscil- lating conveyor, a new, smaller addition to its existing EGD prod- uct line. The EGD-50 can carry 50 lb. of trays plus the weight of the scrap being conveyed out of a stamping press.
The patented EGD conveyors are electrically driven, oscil- lating-type conveyors that use a motorized, elliptical gear drive to convey parts and scrap out of the press area. Utiliz- ing elliptical gears in a sealed oil bath provides an extremely reliable, high-torque design.
The units also employ a user-friendly snap-on tray design. Tray brackets snap in place over the round portion of the con- veyor’s crossbar without the use of tools. Once in place, the trays can be rotated on the crossbar should the trays need to run at a slight angle. www.paxproducts.com
