Bulk materials loaders and unloaders are used to fill and remove powders, granular substances and other bulk solids from bags, bins, boxes, carts, drums, hoppers, railcars, trucks, and silos. They often include solids feeders and break down clumps or arches to allow for the more uniform distribution of bulk materials.
Industrial conveyors are horizontal, inclined, declined, or vertical machinery that transports bulk materials or discrete units from one place to another at a controlled rate.
Industrial manipulators and industrial lifters are used to move and position materials, products, parts, and tools. Commonly used attachments include hooks, magnets, electromagnets, core grips, suction cups, pneumatic clamps and vacuum pads.
Solids feeders are used to deliver powder, granular and other bulk solid materials along a process line, or to and from process units, storage bins, conveyors and product packaging.
Solids valves are used to control or regulate the flow of powder, granular and other bulk solid materials along a process line, or to and from process units, storage bins, conveyors and product packaging.
Vacuum lifters consist of a below-the-hook frame with a large vacuum pad or several smaller suction cups for grabbing large sheets, rolls, plates, or other smooth-surfaced products.
Vertical conveyors are used to lift or lower loads between various levels in intermittent flow operations and where horizontal space is limited. There are two types of vertical conveyors, reciprocating and continuous.
