Bespoke Automatic Beam Unloading System
Amber Industries designed and manufactured a bespoke automatic beam unloading system to improve the handling of racking beams following the paint finishing process.
The equipment automatically removes racking beams from an overhead chain conveyor after they have passed through the paint plant. The beams are then laid flat onto a belt conveyor for onward transportation to the despatch area.
By connecting the overhead chain conveyor with the belt conveyor, the beam unloader provides an automated transfer between different stages of the production and materials handling process.
This installation demonstrates Amber Industries' ability to develop specialist handling equipment for applications where standard conveyor arrangements alone may not provide the required solution.
Frequently Asked Questions About Beam Unloaders
An automatic beam unloader is a specialist materials handling device designed to remove beams from a conveyor system and transfer them to another handling process. Amber Industries developed a bespoke unit for unloading racking beams from an overhead chain conveyor following paint finishing.
The system automatically unloads racking beams from an overhead chain conveyor after they have passed through the paint plant. It then lays the beams flat onto a belt conveyor, allowing them to continue towards the despatch area.
A bespoke beam unloader provides a way to transfer painted components between different conveyor arrangements. In Amber Industries' application, it connects the overhead paint plant conveyor with a belt conveyor used for onward transportation.
Beam unloading equipment can be designed around the requirements of a particular conveyor installation. Amber Industries' example demonstrates how a specialist unloading device can connect an overhead chain conveyor with a belt conveyor.
Amber Industries designs specialist materials handling equipment for applications requiring a tailored solution. The suitability of an automatic unloading system for other products would depend on their dimensions, weight, handling characteristics and production requirements.
