The 3-Strand 90° Wheel Transfer is engineered to change product direction at right angles within a conveyor line by raising wheel strands above the conveyor surface to support and convey loads across an intersecting path. This transfer is designed for installation within the conveyor frame and uses pneumatic lift to position the wheel strands into the product path, providing a repeatable transfer action. The wheel transfer is commonly matched with gravity-fed conveyor sections where driven belt or chain conveyors are not required, and is suitable for loads up to approximately 500 pounds.
This unit is built with heavy-duty bearings and a positive lift mechanism that ensures consistent engagement of the transfer wheels with the product. Its simple, rugged construction makes it appropriate for mid-range load handling and environments where a moderate degree of directional control is needed without the complexity of driven chain or belt transfer systems.
Applications
- Right angle transfers between parallel conveyor runs
- Product routing to multiple downstream lines
