Belts & Conveyors

Two-Tier Conveyor System
April 12, 2022

Two-Tier Conveyor System Measures By Both Weight, Volume

PPM’s Libra Mass Flow utilizes a two-tier conveyor system that combines electromagnetic vibratory motion technology with load-cell scales, measuring product by both weight and volume. The Libra’s loss-in-weight feedback system provides continuous, real-time product measurements, adjusting product speeds to ensure feed rates are precise. With accuracy of +/- 1%, this proven loss-in-weight technology outperforms traditional weigh belts and chutes. With the Libra’s small footprint and nearly 100% vibration isolation efficiency, it can be mounted to existing sub-structures and be used to meter/weigh, blend and feed conveyors, drums, scales and more. The Libra has a durable, sanitary design, constructed using FDA-approved stainless steel without pulleys or belts.

 X-PTS shuttle system

Flexible Solution For Stocking, De-Stocking

The X-PTS shuttle system is a robust, modular and flexible solution for stocking and de-stocking heavy and freezing loads. Unlike the X-PTS, most standard shuttle technologies can only accommodate either heavy loads or freezing temperatures. The X-PTS shuttle combines both these metrics into a single unit that can store and deliver 55 kg loads while inside a freezing environment (-28°C). This is accomplished with specific and innovative frost-proof components designed with durability in mind. Integrated to a goods-to-person solution, the X-PTS provides a distinct advantage to logistics centers seeking a combination of strong reactivity and high order preparation quality.
