180 degree drum conveyor

180 degree drum conveyor

This is a very typical turning conveyor equipment, whose core function is to achieve material turning or U-shaped turning in a horizontal plane.

It perfectly solves the problem of complete reverse material transportation in production line layout due to space limitations or process requirements.

1、 What is a 180 degree drum conveyor?

It is a drum conveyor that can change the direction of material transportation by 180 degrees. It sends the material in direction A, passes through a semi-circular path, and is sent out in the completely opposite direction.

Core principle: Based on the differential principle of conical drum or fan-shaped belt, it ensures that the material runs smoothly on the bend without jamming or tipping.

Intuitive metaphor: It's like the "U-shaped curve" of a standard track, but it's designed for industrial items such as boxes and pallets.

2、 Application scenarios

The 180 degree drum conveyor is indispensable in the following scenarios:

Optimization of production line space: When the layout of the production line is limited and materials need to be sent back to the vicinity of the starting end, a compact circular layout is formed.
