An overhead conveyor is a system that moves products above ground level. It's a type of material handling system that's often used in production facilities to move parts between locations.
Works
- Overhead conveyors move products along a continuous path that can go up, down, or side-to-side.
- They can be designed to adjust levels, allowing them to lower loads to work areas.
- They can move products that are too heavy or bulky for humans to carry by hand.
Types of overhead conveyors
Monorail overhead conveyors: These conveyors have rails suspended from the ceiling, and power is delivered through conductor lines within the rails.
Benefits
- Overhead conveyors can take advantage of unused vertical space above the working area.
- They can evade ground-level obstructions.
- Other types of conveyor systems Belt conveyors, Roller conveyors, Line shaft conveyors, and Air conveyors.
