The WhisperTrax WG-Series Wedge unit is designed to move product vertically up or down. The Wedge is a classic all-mechanical design, requiring no sensors or computer interface and offering the simple reliability of all-mechanical movement; it grabs the parts on the sides, and off they go. All products in a given production run must be the same size and must be rigid, like cartons or other containers. The Wedge Units are available in two models: the MiniLink for lightweight products, and the MultiSpan for heavier products.
Features & Benefits
Two models available to suit a variety of Wedge conveyor applications
Variable speed range available
No computers, software, or logic components needed
Flared entrance and exit for gentle product release
Identical design for inclining or declining
Speeds of up to 180 fpm (higher speeds available following engineering evaluation)
Elevation changes of up to 30 feet
Readily interfaces with SpanTech conveyors or other existing conveyors
No catenary take-up – chain remains captured to the frame at all times
Compact design saves valuable floor space
Optional “adjustable” version accommodates changes in product size and pinch pressure
Available with powder coated steel or all-stainless construction
Non-corroding stainless steel drive shaft, idler shaft, and fasteners
