Continuous fl ow production with RoundTrack ®<br />
In a comparative test of similar transport<br />
systems, the RoundTrack ® scored the best<br />
results by far both in energy consumption<br />
and rolling resistance. The test included air<br />
cushion transport systems, unmanned<br />
systems such as motorized pallet jacks,<br />
skid conveyors, and conventional fl at<br />
rails.<br />
“Many rail transport systems have wheels<br />
with fl anges,” says Derek Clark. “Since<br />
they increase rolling friction signifi cantly,<br />
this is a major criterion when comparing<br />
the RoundTrack ® against other steel/steel<br />
combinations.” Flanges on crane, railroad,<br />
and streetcar wheels cause considerable<br />
rolling friction on the rails. The rolling<br />
resistance coeffi cients range between .01<br />
and .15, in contrast to .003 with the<br />
RoundTrack ® . Featuring a profi le similar to<br />
a gothic arch, Strothmann’s rollers do not<br />
need a conventional fl ange. The special<br />
profi le ensures that contact with the rails<br />
is limited to two small surface areas,<br />
which minimizes rolling friction. “The low<br />
rolling resistance positively affects the<br />
performance rate and results in very low<br />
energy consumption,” says Clark. Next<br />
