Omni Conveyor
One of the shortcomings of many conveyor systems, such as those with rollers or skatewheels, is that they only allow for movement in one direction. Reorienting packages as they move along one of these conveyors can be difficult. One solution to this problem that you'll find at Ensalco is the Omni conveyor system. Omni conveyor systems make use of the unique design of the Omni Wheel. Omni Wheels, like skatewheels, are mounted on axles within conveyor systems. This difference is that while rotating in the direction that the axle moves, Omni Wheels also allow for lateral movement. Each Omni Wheel is constructed with several free turning rollers that are mounted around the periphery of the main wheel. In addition to providing 360° of rotation, Omni Wheels are also resistant to corrosion, making them suited to environments that contain dirt and moisture. Plus, no maintenance is required to keep them operating properly. Omni Wheels can be used in both gravity and power conveyor systems. They are designed to accommodate heavy loads. You can mount them into different parts of your conveyor system, such as the conveyor itself or a transfer table. Omni Wheels are also well suited for use in robotics, as they allow for both forward and lateral movement. If you have questions about Omni conveyors and whether the Omni Wheel will be right for your operation, don't hesitate to contact us at Ensalco. With more than 30 years of experience, we'll provide you with expert suggestions for your company's conveyor system.
