Specialty Conveyor

Bastian will examine your needs and goals to assist you in determining the best conveyor available to meet your material handling integration needs. Occasionally we find that conventional conveyors do not work for a client’s entire system. Allow us to assist you in finding the best specialty conveyor to increase your productivity while decreasing your costs. While there are too many types of specialty conveyor we offer, including custom fabrication, a few of the most popular specialty conveyors are:

Angled conveyor
Angled conveyor is a universal conveyor. It offers the option to easily move from the horizontal to the incline section. In addition, due to the excellent quality of the belt, the bearings and the drive motor, this conveyor is totally reliable, durable, and maintenance free. With the angled conveyor, the most important parts are made are made from anodized aluminum profiles and are built by flexible unit construction. A sealing lip on both sides, as well as an additional labyrinth construction, of the profiles ensures a positive sealing of the conveyor. The angled conveyor is also suitable for very small parts.

Blue Steel Conveyor

Blue steel conveyor
Blue steel conveyors are able to convey hard to handle parts because of its flexibility and ease of adjustment to the travel path. A blue steel conveyor system will allow any combination of standard or custom components to tie your process to your process together in a more efficient, automated manner for most gravity material handling systems. Standard track components allow you to design and assemble your own tracking or, if you’d prefer, have Bastian do it for you. Blue steel conveyor is available in blue tempered spring steel or stainless steel. Blue steel gravity feed systems consist mainly of dedicated roller steel track rails interfaced to the gear production machine at machine input and output points.

The system relies on gravity to move the part although elevation devices and steel topped conveyors are often part of the overall system. Typically a machine integrated loader automatically loads and unloads the work pieces. Finish work pieces exit down a roller steel rail to a conveyor. The conveyor system is a customer application dependent, customized solution for moving parts from one cell to another.

Bastian offers many other types of specialty conveyor to assist in making your system complete. Below is a brief listing of additional specialty conveyor types we have developed for our clients.

Drag flight conveyor
Drag flight conveyor effectively handles materials of sludge or paste consistency when cutting steel, cast iron, aluminum or brass. Drag flight conveyors handle fine particles usually with large amounts of coolant present. Drag flight conveyors are engineered to meet customer specifications and can be fabricated with coolant reservoirs for machine tool applications where cutting oil and coolant is involved; with tank configuration per requirements. Custom fabrication of drag flight conveyor includes conveyor configuration, support structure, incline angle, chain design and width, drive system components and optional safety equipment.

Magnetic conveyor
Magnetic conveyor is engineered for moving ferrous materials such as small chips, fines, small parts and stampings in addition to being an effective solution for cast iron and steel machining operations where fines are too small and numerous for removal by conventional conveyor systems. Magnetic conveyors are easily installed.

Non-synchronous pallet based conveyor
Non-synchronous pallet based conveyors are available in three sizes to suit a range of applications. Non-synchronous pallet based conveyors can be used in precision assembly and testing applications and have a pallet payload range from 6 to 551 lbs. This makes the non-synchronous pallet conveyor excellent for use in the assembly of everything from electronics to large automotive components. Typical types of products that can be assembled using this type of conveyor include:

  • Automotive components
  • Appliances
  • Communications
  • Computer
  • Electronics
  • Medical devices.

2-1/2” Pitch hinged steel conveyor
2-1/2” Pitch hinged steel conveyor is an ideal conveyor for handling parts, stampings, die castings, screws, scrap, chips, turnings, material wet or dry, horizontal or elevating, single or multiple unit systems. All conveyors are custom fabricated to customer requirements to ensure proper fit. Conveyors can be fabricated with a coolant reservoir for machine tool applications where cutting oil and coolant is involved. Tank configuration per customer’s requirements. For complete design flexibility there is a choice of conveyor type with any reasonable length legs and angles, belt design and width, and drive systems with optional safety equipment.

Portable parts conveyor
Portable parts conveyor can be used as a portable or permanent parts conveyor. The portable parts conveyor is good for plastic or metal parts and stampings. The portable parts conveyor is also good in press rooms. Flapper guard prevents parts from falling through. Avoid using the portable parts conveyor with powders or liquids.

Slat conveyor
Slat conveyor provides lasting, dependable performance with its rugged steel construction. Slat conveyor is often used to convey heavy loads, hot, oily parts or items through a heat drying process. Slat conveyors can also be used for assembly line and production operations. A roller chain also reduces friction.

Slip torque conveyor
Slip torque conveyor allows for small part low pressure accumulation. The slip torque conveyor creates very low back pressure enabling you to transport and accumulate products without jamming, scuffing, or shingling.

The slip torque conveyor is based on polished stainless steel shafts individually powered by flexible belts on a line shaft or by a continuous chain. These stainless steel shafts are covered with segmented, loose fit rollers which become the conveying surface.

With the slip torque conveyor, it is the weight of the product being conveyed combined with the coefficient of friction between the shafts and inside diameter of the rollers that provides the driving force. As the weight of the product increases, there is a corresponding increase in the driving force supplied. As the product stops, the segmented rollers beneath it also stops, creating very low back pressure accumulation and reducing product damage, jamming scuffing, and shingling.

Slip torque conveyor offers the freedom of multi-line, bi-directional, and reversible product travel within one frame. Applications include precise positioning for a robot to accumulate with a packaging system. This conveyor is often observed in industries such as electronics, printing, manufacturing, and automobile component manufacturing.
