Qwik Conveyor solves those 'difficult' conveyor problems

Automation Supplies is launching the Qwik Conveyor (5200 series) from Dorner and the company says the feature-packed conveyors can solve a wide variety of common problems - such as:

Qwik Conveyor solves those 'difficult' conveyor problems

  • Multiple conveyors required to meet at right-angles
  • Products getting snagged and belts wearing at points where products move from one conveyor to another
  • Many product sizes and weights all required to traverse around bends
  • Bends required at 60, 45 or 30 degrees - or an angle that can be changed by the user on site
  • Belt alignment on long conveyors
  • Conveyors up to 1m wide required with several bends and only one drive

Dorner's Qwik Conveyor is a modular plastic belt conveyor system for industrial, automation and packaging applications. It can be configured - and reconfigured - to just about any layout you can think of. It is described as 'a major innovation in conveyor design'. With a saw and a cordless screwdriver, customers can shorten or lengthen the conveyor, change the curve configuration, or make other modifications. The reconfigured line can be back up and running in very little time.

Accessory features are designed-in so controls and accessories are easily integrated. Air and wire management systems are also designed-in, and a patented sprocket alignment key makes quick work of sprocket and belt alignment.

The Qwik Conveyor comes in sizes and capacities to handle almost any application, and the contained belt eliminates sag and reduces pinch points.

Feature overview

Modular 15-degree curve segments and side rail design makes reconfiguration quick and easy. Qwik slots make mounting controls and accessories simple. Easy frame reconfiguration with no drilling required. Patented sprocket alignment key for quick belt alignment. Completely contained belt reduces pinch points. Nose bar option for small parts transfer.

General specifications

Straight flat modular plastic belt and cleated modular plastic belt models and curved flat plastic modular belt models: conveyor widths in curves from 203-914 mm in 50mm increments and on straights from 203-1524mm in 50mm increments. Lengths on straights up to 25.4m with one drive, depending on the product being conveyed.

Load capacity: straights up to 453kg and curves up to 226kg.

These revolutionary conveyors answer the needs of the most demanding environments in automated assembly, packaging, accumulation, sortation, machine part handling, curing, cooling, heating and cleaning.
