Power and free conveyors are typically used to transport parts along an assembly line from one process to another.
Unlike basic continuously moving overhead monorail conveyor systems, Power and Free conveyors provide the unique ability to stop individual loads without stopping the entire production line.
Power-and-free conveyor is a conveyor that has inherent in its design. That is flexible routing, variable speeds, the ability to accumulate or stop carrier, sort product, and move through processes, overhead space utilization, precision to work with automation, and easily expandable and adaptable to product change.
It consists of two tracks. Power track i.e., upper track which is powered by chain & free track in which carrier trolleys travels.
The power chain is the driving mechanism of power and free conveyor systems and consists of forged and heat-treated side links, centre links, and chain pins.
At selected intervals on the chain, special side link pushers are installed and used to push the power and free carrier.
Drive power is transmitted to the free trolley by pusher dogs linked to the power chain that runs in the upper track.
These Conveyors can be used as floor conveyor termed as Inverted Power & Free
