Dynamic Acceleration Sections Create Instant Traction

  • Acceleration sections can be turned on/off via air
  • An air pressure regulator can be used to control zone traction authority
  • Acceleration sections have flexible placement in design
  • Traction zone placement and length is user definable in the design phase utilizing our IMPACT! software add-in for Solidworks 
  • No limit to the number or length of traction zones

  • Traction zones can be easily positioned/re-positioned in the field utilizing an included kit
  • Accommodates low line pressure accumulation
  • A first of its kind, this product allows mixing and matching of traction control in a line.  From low back pressure, to high traction, with ultimate configurability and flexibility within.

Anatomy of a Roller Chain Conveyor with Dynamic Traction Control

Heavy duty construction with added flexibility

 

Our dynamic traction control conveyors are built to give you an innovative option on a roller chain conveyor. Built with industry-leading steel roller chain steel chain, the built-in rollers spin under accumulating products to reduce backpressure. We’ve also added a built-in, programmable accelerator to add friction when you need it, typically at stop locations. It’s everything you need in a roller chain conveyor, with a signature Glide-Line twist including everything you want.
