Pallet Conveyors

At CKF we design and manufacture our own standard range of pallet feed solutions developed over many years to accommodate the unique challenges presented when working within palletising systems and other automated environments.

All standard conveyors are manufactured from 5mm thick mild steel, powder coated (RAL5010 – Gentian Blue), mounted on a painted mild steel support frame incorporating localised height adjustment.

Pallet Roller Conveyor

The PRC range of conveyors comprise of Ø80 x 3mm wall mild steel, zinc plated rollers pitched every 150.8mm to ensure a smooth transfer of both EUR1 and EUR2 pallets narrow edge leading.

The conveyor can be mounted to a range of standard support legs offering low level, standard range (shown in table) or as a two tier configuration

Pallet Chain Transfer

A chain transfer unit is employed when a pallet is required to turn 90° changing the direction of travel for the pallet from narrow edge leading to broad edge leading (or vice versa)

The construction is based on a standard PCC conveyor mounted to a standard PRC conveyor via a pneumatically operated conveyor lifting unit. When required, the lifting unit raises the chain conveyor above the top of the rollers to enable the pallet to feed off/ on at 90°.

Automatic Pallet Destacker

The automatic pallet destacker has been developed over many years to provide a very robust trouble free automated delivery of empty pallets.

The design is based around a modular system allowing for both EUR1 and EUR2 pallets to be accommodated in both NEL and BEL orientations with a choice of infeed/ outfeed positions.

The design is based around a very robust framework fitted with heavy infeed guides to ensure an acceptable pallet stack to be loaded.

Lifting of the stack is accomplished by motor driven lift units fitted to two sides of the pallets, with pneumatically actuated fingers fitted to each unit to retain and release the stack on command.
