Gravity skate wheel conveyors by Ashland Conveyor Products, are used to transport lightweight packages or for operations that require lightweight sections. They will convey light loads that have firm flat bottoms such as cartons totes, cases, etc. Primarily they are used in shipping departments, stocking areas and assembly lines. Skate wheel conveyors are very portable and allow for quick and easy set-up and tear-down. Hook & rod couplers along with tripod supports make it ideal for temporary set-up.For skate wheel conveyors there must be a minimum of three axles and five wheels under the load at all times. Wheel density is described as skate wheels per foot. The wheel density must provide enough wheels under the load so that the total wheel capacity exceeds the maximum load. Ashland Conveyor Products offers many wheel density configurations in three standard widths.Often curves will determine the width of the conveyor system, as the product requires additional space to negotiate the turn. This additional space depends upon the length and width of the product being conveyed. Compared to other types of conveyors, the individual skate wheels in the curved sections allow packages to track better.Skate wheel conveyors from Ashland Conveyor Products are a great choice for areas that need to move lightweight packages with very little pitch as skate wheel conveyors roll more easily than roller conveyors. They are lightweight conveyors that are offered in both galvanized steel and aluminum with three standard widths available to choose from.
