Conveyor Pushers
Conveyor Pushers are used in applications requiring a package to be transferred perpendicular to conveyor flow. Various designs exist to serve a wide range of applications. Conveyor Pushers can be mounted on the top, side, or bottom of conveyor frames depending on the application. Rapid cycle rates can also be obtained with conveyor pushers as well.
Types of Conveyor Pushers
Side-Mounted Pusher
A Side-Mounted Pusher is a medium duty pusher designed to mount to conveyor side frame. Use a guided cylinder attached to pusher face.
Overhead Pusher
An Overhead pusher is a heavy duty pusher deigned to mount over top of conveyor. Typically has a carriage system with cam rollers to take side loading.
Under-Mounted Pusher
An Under-Mounted pusher is designed to mount underneath conveyor and operate between roller centers. Often used to pull products across conveyor.
Conveyor Pusher Applications
Conveyor Pushers are used to divert products perpendicular to the flow of the conveyor. Conveyor Pushers can be used to either push or pull product on or off conveyor.
