Light-duty enclosed track overhead conveyor is used for the continuous transportation of relatively light items. It is composed of drive unit, tension unit, turn unit, universal link chain, enclosed track, anti-backup device and anti-runaway device, track suspension, vertical hanger, and various suspension accessories. It is an ideal transportation tool in the light industry, electronics, machinery, food, and other industries due to the advantages of lightweight and reasonable structure, beautiful appearance, flexible movement, convenient installation and maintenance.
A light-duty enclosed track Power & Free (P&F) conveyor is an advanced material handling solution designed for efficient, flexible, and cost-effective transportation of goods in manufacturing, assembly, and distribution environments. Combining the benefits of enclosed track design with Power & Free technology, this system enables independent movement of carriers (trolleys) along a closed-loop track, allowing precise control over load routing, accumulation, and sequencing.
The enclosed track structure features a durable, enclosed steel housing that protects internal components from dust, debris, and environmental factors, ensuring longevity and low maintenance. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for handling small to medium payloads (typically up to 500 lbs per carrier) in industries such as automotive components, electronics, food processing, and light assembly. The Power & Free mechanism separates the propulsion system (power chain) from the load-bearing carriers (free trolleys), enabling carriers to stop, accumulate, or divert without disrupting the entire line. This enhances workflow flexibility, reduces bottlenecks, and supports just-in-time production.
Key advantages include modular construction for easy installation and scalability, energy-efficient operation due to variable frequency drives (VFDs), and compatibility with automation systems for seamless integration into smart factories. The enclosed track design also improves workplace safety by minimizing exposed moving parts. Customizable options include curves, switches, lift sections, and programmable logic controller (PLC) interfaces to meet diverse operational needs.
Ideal for applications requiring precise load control, such as painting lines, curing processes, or batch processing, this conveyor system optimizes space utilization, reduces labor costs, and boosts productivity. Its adaptability to complex layouts and ability to handle multiple product variants make it a strategic investment for industries prioritizing efficiency and lean manufacturing principles.
