Conveying pallets

The decision for the suitable pallet conveyor system is likewise crucial in view of quality, economy and reliability of the internal material flow.

For horizontal or vertical movements, turning or moving, swivelling, tilting or stacking, the RBS pallet conveyor system with its flexible modular system BK1200, including a variety of modules, always offers the right solution, even for demanding tasks.

In internal logistics, products and goods flows must often be ensured over several levels. Here, vertical conveyors are commonly used for conveying goods vertically. Such vertical conveyors handle any height differences of various conveyor or building levels.


RBS level lifts ensure the fast and reliable vertical transport of pallets in intralogistics. The existing broad selection of standardized vertical conveyors ensures that individual tasks, such as the material provision on various building levels, can be performed.

The RBS pallet lifts are available in 1-post to 4-post versions. They can be installed free-standing, within a steel structure or in a wall shaft.



Depending on the requirements, different load handling devices are used. In addition, various controlled drive options can be selected. Due to the modular and robust design for low space requirements, these pallet lifts ensure high reliability and process safety in the internal material flow.

In general, all free-standing RBS level lifts are fitted with complete protective covers. All access points, both for free-standing pallet lifts and for lifts integrated in a lift shaft, are secured in close consultation with the existing safety departments. A wide variety of automatic high-speed doors, safety gears and access control systems are available for this purpose.

A conveyor system can only be turned into an integrated overall system if various modules are combined. These include modules for conveying, collecting and distributing the material to be conveyed. Further elements to ensure safety and carry out the necessary maintenance.

RBS Pallet conveyor modules

 

 


By combining RBS system modules with roller and chain conveyors, complete transport systems, designed individually according to the customer’s requirements, are obtained to ensure the internal material flow.

Pallet turning stations and rotary table roller conveyors, also with integrated chain transfer units, enable the inward and outward transfer and distribution of the conveyed goods at different angles of rotation even in small spaces.



Roller transfer units or swivelling table roller conveyors feed or discharge goods at right angles. Lifting tables convey the material to specified heights. Modules for floor-level pallet feeding, empty pallet storage systems, pallet separators and transfer carriages complete the RBS portfolio.

Since only intact pallets allow a safe throughput, RBS also offers modules for pallet control. In addition to checking the maximum pallet dimensions and pallet geometry, individual pallet runners can also be checked for damage.

RBS Palettenstapler / Palletstacker

For safety as well as maintenance and servicing, crossings, maintenance walkways and protective fences are available. Depending on the requirements, RBS also supplies pallet strappers and pallet wrappers for the stretch-wrapping of pallets or other goods. Labellers for labelling, marking and coding products, as well as high-speed doors and fire protection closures from well-known partner companies can likewise be integrated, as required.


 

Due to their different roll diameters, roll pitches and variable drive concepts, roller conveyors can be used in a variety of ways in the production process: from sorting, distribution and storage of material to order picking. The RBS roller conveyors are robust, low-maintenance and can also be used as simple roller conveyors without a drive. In addition, they are very adaptable in terms of the weight of the goods to be transported.

RBS Roller conveyors

 

 


The standard RBS roller conveyors are designed for standard pallets with weights of up to 1,500 kg and speeds of up to 0.5 m/s.

The roller conveyors can be used for a wide range of applications. The system components are based on special support profiles made of anodised aluminium.



Due to the modular design, special designs for customer-specific pallets and conveyed goods are possible. Roll spacings and conveyor widths that can be changed in the grid system create flexibility for individual adaptation. The low height of the roller conveyor also allows it to be mounted directly on the floor.

Loading and unloading can thus be carried out either with standard hand pallet trucks, electric lift-trucks or forklift trucks. For the buffering of pallets, a load-independent accumulating roller conveyor with single-slot system is used.

Depending on the application, the RBS roller conveyors are designed with a continuous chain drive or a drive from roller to roller. Depending on the application, the drives can be reversible or have a soft start. The necessary safety is guaranteed at all times by appropriate protective coverings.

A large number of guide grooves in the lifting flange allow an infinitely variable mounting of electrical control devices and various attachments with DIN screw connections.

The lifting flange of the roller conveyors can be used for laying cables and bus lines. This area is equipped with plastic covers that ensure a protection against dust and damage.


RBS chain conveyors are used wherever pallets in transverse direction or pallet cages have to be transported.

The chain conveyors consist of anodised aluminium profiles and are designed, as a standard, for transporting goods with weights of up to 1,500 kg and speeds of up to 0.5 m/s. The chain conveyors can be used for a wide range of applications.



The RBS chain conveyors are also available in multi-strand versions for transporting a wide variety of pallets.

The duplex chains are supported on profiled plastic rails and contribute to low-noise operation. Integrated chain tensioners ensure less wear on chains and sprockets due to the correct tension.

Narrow, ball-bearing deflections ensure the transport of standard pallets without additional support aids at the conveyor transition.

As the RBS roller conveyors, the chain conveyors can also be very flexibly adapted to a wide variety of customer requirements thanks to their modular design.
