Quick Tip of the Month
Gravity Application
 Gravity
conveyor is often installed on a decline. When used on a
decline, its most likely application is a "gravity flow
system." Although less expensive than power conveyor,
gravity does not provide a positive flow. The degree of pitch
needed for a gravity conveyor to operate efficiently depends on
several factors:
- The type of conveyor, roller or skatewheel.
- Are the bearings grease packed or clean? (Grease packed
bearings roll slower)
- The weight of the package.
- The quality or firmness of the package bottom
 --The
flow rate of boxes on a gravity conveyor is also affected by the
acceleration effect of a spinning roller or wheel which is still
spinning after a box has travelled over it.
--Straight line of gravity decline. Boxes go faster and
faster as they move down the conveyor.
--Retarding plates and other restraining devices are
available to slow boxes. Boxes may also be slowed by changing
the angle of decline periodically.
--Items usually flow easier on a skatewheel than a roller
conveyor.

ProSort 400 may be configured for diverting products to the
right hand or left hand side of the sorter. Also it may be
configured for diverting at 30 degrees where close divert
centers are important or 22 degrees where high speed is
required.
