Need to “walk through” your conveyor?

… lift-gates are your answer.

Multi-Conveyor recently built two (2) independently powered straight configured bottle conveyors with lift gates for a new chemical packaging line.  Single lane filled and capped containers (product not shown in the video for proprietary reasons) end transfer on low back pressure roller transitions with complete stability at infeed and again at discharge of the petite 80” overall long conveyor sections.

Each conveyor includes a manually operated lift gate assembly for operator access through the production lines. The operator easily maneuvers to the opposite side where they safely and manually lower the slave driven lift gate back into the horizontal position

An operator can access the lift gates by using handles mounted on either side of the system.  Multi-Conveyor designed each lift gate assembly with a bottom safety pan for additional operator protection while in the upright position.  This manual lift gate assembly was provided with 30” clearance in upright position, slave driven from each conveyor discharge end.

Standard built-in safety includes bearing covers, finger guards, and shaft cut-out guards. We demonstrate raising and lowering the mechanism in operation mode for demonstration purposes only.  However, Multi-Conveyor urges customers to power off the conveyor before accessing a lift gate assembly for operator safety.  Proper safety training is outlined in our Operations Manual but is ultimately the responsibility of the end-user.

Lift gates are part of Multi-Conveyor’s core capabilities.  We offer an assortment of lift gate solutions for many markets.  Some cases require pneumatic or air shock assist lift gates, which provide a gentle return to their base horizontal position.
