Powertrack Geschlossene Kettenfördersysteme
Diese Systeme bestehen aus einer zweidimensionalen Kette, die von einer Antriebseinheit angetrieben wird und in einer geschlossenen Stahlschiene läuft, deren Querschnitt entweder rechteckig oder, falls eine höhere Tragfähigkeit erforderlich ist, kreuzförmig sein kann.
Powertrack-Offenkettenfördersysteme
Die offenen Kettenschienen der Baureihe Powertrack, PT200 und PT500, verwenden ein I-Träger-Schienensegment, an dem eine geschmiedete Kette mittels Laufwagen befestigt ist, deren Räder auf dem unteren Flansch des I-Trägers laufen.
Frequently Asked Questions About MCM Powertrack
MCM Powertrack is a range of monorail overhead chain conveyor systems designed for handling a wide variety of products. The range includes enclosed-chain systems for medium loads and open-chain systems for heavier-duty applications.
Enclosed-chain Powertrack conveyors run the powered chain inside an enclosed steel track and are designed for loads up to 100 kg per pendant. Open-chain Powertrack conveyors use an I-beam track with the chain suspended beneath it by trolleys and are available for heavier loads up to 500 kg.
The enclosed-chain system uses a bi-planar chain powered by a drive unit and running inside an enclosed steel track. Pendants are attached to the chain at regular pitches and project through a slot in the underside of the track, allowing products to be suspended from the conveyor.
Open-chain Powertrack systems use an I-beam track section with a drop-forged chain suspended beneath it by trolleys. The trolley wheels run on the lower flange of the I-beam, providing a robust arrangement for heavier-duty product handling.
MCM Powertrack systems are available for a range of load requirements. Amber Industries' published technical data lists enclosed-chain models with capacities from 23 kg to 100 kg per pendant and open-chain models with capacities up to 500 kg. The appropriate model depends on the load and application requirements.
Yes. On enclosed-chain Powertrack systems, higher loads can be accommodated by using loadbars connecting two or more pendants, allowing the load to be shared between them. The conveyor configuration must be selected to suit the particular product and application.
Yes. Amber Industries states that its enclosed-chain Powertrack conveyor systems can operate in temperatures up to 250°C, making them suitable for applications where heat is applied to the product. High-temperature lubrication systems are used to help maintain reliable operation under these conditions.
MCM Powertrack conveyors can be used across a wide range of manufacturing and processing industries. Applications include automotive, surface finishing, meat processing and general manufacturing.
Yes. The modular Powertrack design includes vertical and horizontal track bends and bolted support and clamp assemblies, providing flexibility when configuring conveyor layouts to suit the available space and production process.
Yes. The modular construction of the Powertrack range allows existing conveyor systems to be modified or extended. Modifications and extensions can be undertaken with minimum disruption and downtime, subject to the requirements of the existing installation and the proposed changes.
