Customer requirement<\/h2>\n

For an existing production process, a compact solution was required to automatically transport small parts from the low infeed area to a higher transfer position.<\/span><\/p>\n

The conveyor systems were required to occupy minimal floor space, be flexibly positionable, and integrate safely into the existing production environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our solution<\/h2>\n

BKLS developed three identical Z-conveyors with integrated carriers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The products are picked up in the lower area and transported in a controlled manner via an incline to the designated discharge height. Carriers and lateral guides ensure reliable material flow. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mobile base frames enable flexible positioning within production. Transparent protective covers support safe operation while providing clear visibility of the conveying process. <\/span><\/p>\n
