Linear transfers

Our flat cam linear transfer systems are used in all types of industries to transfer parts and products.

The mechanical energy created by a truly ingenious cam technology enables the transported product to slide. This is a perfect solution for applications requiring respect of the product and preservation of its initial position.

The cam movement generator is ideal for transferring small or medium sized parts, powder, granules, and all other kinds of dry products. The linear transfer of powder and granules is considered to be a powder filling and refilling supply solution to feed and fill dosers and sieves. This powder feeder enables dosing of powder, pulverulents and granules.

The powder and granule transport system can be cleaned with a water spray

Technology

By rotating the motor, the cam system can drive the upper plate with a horizontal to-and-fro movement. The parts placed on the system are transported by a linear movement: they are moved forward during the first “phase”, then remain in place during the reverse movement (10-15 times faster). The parts are thus not subjected to any vertical or oblique force and slide along the moving surface.

The kinematics is controlled entirely by the mechanism’s cam movement law. The parts can be maintained in their entry position, without being jolted. The shear force generated by plate oscillation still enables the dispersion and movement of a bunch of products or powders deposited in bulk on the surface of the rail.
