Warehouses can be chaotic and labor-intensive environments, but they don't need to be chaotic.
Bulk handling material equipment stores, controls and transports loose form materials in large quantities.
The control unit can be managed by a PLC, which can be used to regulate the load transfer at 90 degrees to either of two sides or via a straight line based upon logic/sensor feedback. This allows the entire system to be fully integrated with downstream and upper-stream equipment.

The triplex chain conveyor, and the pop up tables with roller beds, were created from our standards.
IKI, as a manufacturer of pop up chain transfer conveyors, designs and manufactures roller and chain transports that are used in pallet conveyors to sort or merge lines or change direction of travel by 90°. We offer a variety options to meet conveyability requirements and system throughput.
An automated material handling system can have issues with poor pallet quality. While it can help reduce poor pallet quality issues, locating rollers closer together may not be the best option. However, tighter centers on rollers will limit space available for chain transfer. IK has created a chain transfer to carry 4,000-pound loads. This is made using a 3/8” plate welded steel frame that allows for 2-1/2” diameter rollers with 4-1/2” centers. This transfer features a chain take-up design which can be adjusted without the need for conveyor disassembly.
