SOCO Transfer units

The transfer unit changes the pallet direction travel by 90°. The 90° transfer unit is a chain conveyor which is raised and lowered automatically above and below roller height.
Can be fitted in all pallet roller conveyors where the height exceeds 350 mm.

Motors:
Two motors – one for up/down movement and one for chain movement.

SOCO Transfer units

Overview

SOCO Transfer Units are designed to facilitate the efficient and automated transfer of pallets between different conveyor lines. These units are particularly useful for changing the direction of pallet travel by 90°, making them an essential component in complex material handling systems.

Key Features

  • 90° Transfer Capability: Changes the direction of pallet travel by 90°, optimising the flow of materials in a production or warehouse setting.
  • Automatic Operation: The chain conveyor is raised and lowered automatically above and below roller height, ensuring seamless integration with existing conveyor systems.
  • Dual Motors: Equipped with two motors—one for the up/down movement and one for the chain movement—providing reliable and efficient operation.
  • High Payload Capacity: Capable of handling pallets with a maximum weight of 1500 kg, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
  • Versatile Integration: Can be fitted in all pallet roller conveyors where the height exceeds 350 mm.
