Seat Handling - Low Profile Truck Unloading Conveyors

Seat plants typically utilize automated truck unloading and loading conveyors. This eliminates the need for fork trucks, thereby improving efficiency. A challenge of these automated systems is typically the low elevation conveyor required. Typical systems require conveyors as low as 10.5” to the top of roller. Low profile conveyors and accessories developed by Blue Arc include roller conveyors, chain transfers and accumulation stops. One of the more challenging applications is the low profile chain transfer. Our designs include between rail (BR) style, extended style and conveyor to conveyor transfers to transition assembly pallets in perpendicular flow.

Low Profile Truck Unloading Conveyors Specifications

“Pin” stops come up to control pallet flow and accumulation as required. Simple guided cylinders provide simple and long lasting service.
Chain transfers are actuated with air bags and have a mechanical linkage system to keep the transfer level through the actuation sequence.
Roller conveyor is roll to roll design with SEW-Eurodrive gearmotor, 460/3/60. Rollers are 2.5” diameter x 11 gauge and are on 6” typical centers.
