Palletflo Gravity Powered Conveyors
Palletflo was the pioneer in pallet controlled gravity live storage systems. Thousands of Palletflo gravity powered conveyors serve industry throughout the world. Its success is based on the ability to handle almost any pallet and the smooth speed control resulting from the Hysteresis control built into every wheel. Palletflo adds economy because there is no need for power, braking devices, special pallets, or re-handling of loads and pallets when transferring from receiving pallet to special pallet to shipping pallet. Its simplicity and versatility make it easy to apply whether the need is for a single lane to accumulate the output of a palletizer or a complete high rise warehouse.
In the years since it gave industry its original break-thru into pallet live storage, Palletflo has proven its versatility - handling pallets and skids carrying all types of loads in a variety of working conditions, such loads range from an empty pallet to 14,000 lbs. of air cargo, in runs over 100 feet, at temperatures ranging from 28º to 90ºF. Special conditions can be accommodated if required.
The OD of the Palletflo wheel is resilient to conform to irregularities such as warped, split, or loose boards in the pallet bottom surface. The wheel tread is made of an elastomer with high hysteresis properties. As a load rolls down the rail slope, each wheel in the rail absorbs kinetic energy from the pallet moving at a safe controlled speed.
Designing Palletflo Rails
Two rails with single rows of wheels usually suffice for most common wood pallets. Double row rails are used for pallets whose cross-wise bottom boards are not wide enough (less than 4 1/2). The 1 1/2" spacing is sometimes needed to keep wheel loading within the design recommendation of 80 lb. / wheel. This is often the case when the pallet boards are few and narrow. A simplified formula for determining maximum wheel spacing in a two rail system is: Spacing (inches) = [Total board width / Total Load (lb.)] x 160. Spacing should not exceed 3" without testing. Three rail systems which are sometimes used for sagging pallets or to reduce wheel loading require special consideration and it is best to consult the factory. For total assurance, Kornylak offers to test your pallet and load at its facility without charge.
