The monorail system is a special designed conveyor. It is of the chain slat type, incorporating a proprietary low friction guide system. The monorail system is of a strong and modular design. Only one drive is required due to our proprietary low friction guide system. All conveyors are equipped with an automatic chain tensioning device and built-in overload components requiring minimal maintenance. The guide system includes precision low friction steel bearings and the chain is of heavy-duty chrome plated steel construction. The guide rails are made of polyurethane embedded in an extruded aluminium profile. The slats are of moulded reinforced polycarbonate. The slats are overlapping to accommodate small items. The conveyor can be delivered in steel, powder coated in every desired RAL-colour. Other possibilities are galvanized or stainless steel versions.

Product twister
 

The product twister is an innovative conveyor for inline rotating of cases and other unitised loads.

The loads can be rotated 90° or 180° in a continuous motion. This conveyor is used in packing lines where products need to be rotated upside down or to one side without delay or product damage. The product twister can accommodate a wide range of load sizes without adjustment.

Applications
 

The product twister is used as a conveyor for inline rotating of products. Product orientation can be diverted either 90° or 180°. Product rotation of 90° is often used and required upstream of palletisers.

For example, cases can be filled in the upright position, but have to be rotated 90° for correct position for stack pattern of palletiser.

Spiral conveyor technology designed for continuous vertical product flow, featuring a small footprint, high throughout, low maintenance and long operational life is guaranteed by Apollo VTS.

 
 Spiral conveyors can handle most conveyable product, including bags, bundles, totes, trays, pales, cans, bottles, containers, wrapped and unwrapped items.

APOLLO has a modern test facility in Coevorden and many of our customers take advantage of this service to make sure their particular products will convey properly on our spiral conveyor.
 
The spiral conveyors are frequently used as elevators or lowerators in packaging lines. Many of these lines run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The spirals can be delivered in stainless steel or wash down versions, suitable for food handling. Spiral conveyors are also very attractive as continuous lifts between floors in multilevel order picking systems or any other vertical conveying application with limited space and a need for high reliability.

Applications in cold storage and freezer operations are also standard solutions for Apollo VTS.
