WHEEL
PATTERNS
| Gravity wheel conveyors are best suited for light duty applications. The key
criteria is that the load bottom surface is flat, rigid and smooth. Soft bottom
packages are not recommended since wheels may indent soft bottom containers, thus curtailing product movement.
Also, consideration must be given to the construction of the bottom surface of the product container.
A wooden crate, for example, may hang on individual wheels and not start from its stopped position.
When calculating minimum
wheel spacing required, wheel patterns at right may be used to determine minimum wheel spacing.
Wheel axles are spaced on 3" centers. |
