CDLR Conveyor System for 4K LB. Pallets
Application: Conveying 48″x48″ Pallets of 55-gallon drums weighing 4,000 LBS. each.
Solution: LEWCO provided a combination of pallet handling conveyor, including Chain Driven Live Roller (CDLR), Drag Chain Conveyor, Turntables, and Transfer Cars.
In the customer’s initial layout, they had several turntables. After learning more about the application and required rate, LEWCO proposed using Transfer Cars in several places to reduce the amount of turntables required. This resulted in significant cost savings. In total, there was almost 500 FT. of straight CDLR conveyor, 55 FT. of chain conveyor, and 300 FT. of transfer car track . One unique aspect to this project was the customer needed a stainless-steel roof structure on top of all the conveyor to prevent contaminants from falling into the 55-gallon drums.
According to LEWCO Vice President of Sales, Jude Guerra “This project was right up our alley. We make pallet handling conveyor every day. We listened to the customer’s needs, offered cost-saving solutions, and in the end, we delivered a heavy-duty solution they’ll be proud of.”
