MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT1. Chute conveyorUnit/Bulk + On-Floor + AccumulateInexpensiveUsed to link two handling devicesUsed to provide accumulation in shipping areasUsed to convey items between floorsDifficult to control position of the items2. Wheel conveyorUnit + On-Floor + AccumulateUses a series of skatewheels mounted on a shaft (or axle)Spacing of the wheels is dependent on the load being transportedSlope for gravity movement depends on load weightMore economical than the roller conveyorFor light-duty applicationsFlexible, expandable mobile versions availableMobile3. Roller conveyorUnit + On-Floor + AccumulateMay be powered (or live) or nonpowered (or gravity)Materials must have a rigid riding surfaceMinimum of three rollers must support smallest loads at all timesTapered rollers on curves used to maintain load orientationParallel roller configuration can be used as a (roller) pallet conveyor (more flexible than a chainpallet conveyor because rollers can be used to accommodate are greater variation of palletwidths)26
5. CONVEYORS3(a) Gravity roller conveyorAlternative to wheel conveyorFor heavy-duty applicationsSlope (i.e., decline) for gravity movement depends on loadweightFor accumulating loads3(b) Live (powered) roller conveyorBelt or chain drivenForce-sensitive transmission can be used to disengagerollers for accumulationFor accumulating loads and merging/sorting operationsProvides limited incline movement capabilities4. Chain conveyorUnit + In-/On-Floor + No AccumulationUses one or more endless chains on which loads are carried directlyParallel chain configuration used as (chain) pallet conveyor or as a pop-updevice for sortation (see Sortation conveyor: Pop-up devices)Vertical chain conveyor used for continuous high-frequency verticaltransfers, where material on horizontal platforms attached to chain link(cf. vertical conveyor used for low-frequency intermittent transfers)5. Slat conveyorUnit + In-/On-Floor + No AccumulationUses discretely spaced slats connected to a chainUnit being transported retains its position (like abelt conveyor)Orientation and placement of the load is controlledUsed for heavy loads or loads that might damage abeltBottling and canning plants use flat chain or slat conveyors because of wet conditions,temperature, and cleanliness requirements27
