The merge conveyor
solves the problem of injecting luggage from different angles to
a main conveyor at busy airports. The control system manages the
merging of the luggage to ensure there are no clashes resulting
in bag jams.
The merge conveyor
comprises twelve belts, each 80 mm wide but of differing lengths
arranged to provide a live surface from square end in feed position
to a stepped discharge position set at 45°.
Each belt has a ribbed surface and is tracked by crowned head and
tail pulleys. The conveyor belting is flame retardant in accordance
with ISO340. At the tail all belts pass around a common crowned
drive drum which is driven by a shaft mounted GMU complete with
torque arm fixings located on the long side of the conveyor.
|
At the discharge
each belt passes around an individual roller which rotates on a fixed
shaft with internal bearings. A plastic infill strip is provided to
give minimum gaps around the discharge rollers and is site trimmed
to length so providing a good fit to adjacent equipment.
Individual belt tension is achieved by factory clipping each belt
to a specific calculated length which, when fitted, provides the ideal
tension thus removing the need for complex individual tensioning arrangements.
Guards are provided for the conveyor undersides and around the drive
drum while extended side plates are provided 400 mm high above belt
level. The whole conveyor is mounted on adjustable legs giving a maximum
of one metre ground clearance to the belt.
Quick belt changes are realised by 'slipping' the damaged/broken belt
off its pulleys and through an access plate located in the short side
of the conveyor. The replacement belt is fed through the access plate
and located on the relevant pulleys. |
