Multi-Conveyor, Winneconne, Wis.,provides a series of vacuum conveyors equipped with vacuum blowers to transport empty plastic bottles in bulk. The stainless-steel, low-profile plastic belt conveyor moves the bottles between an existing customer chute to the inlet of an existing customer bottle unscrambler.
The vacuum portion of the chain utilizes blowers or an enclosed fan to move air beneath the conveyor. In this case, the inlet side is attached to the conveyor frame, where air is pulled from the conveyor through the modified chain, which draws the bottles down against the fast moving plastic table top belt. The air then exhausts at exit.
