Conveyor Turntable 

Material Handling Machines

Operation

The rollers advance the pallets to the staging conveyor, which allows pallet-by-pallet passage onto the staging turntable. The turntable positions its rollers in the same direction as those of the separation conveyor to take over the pallet. Once the pallet is detected at its position on the turntable, it starts its rotation and carries out a quarter of a turn to deliver the pallet to the exit conveyor.
A conveyor turntable is driven by a motor reducer connected to a geared chain pinion, which rotates the turntable.
Motorized rollers then move the pallet on and off the turntable.

Examples of Use
Conveyor turntables can be used for transferring pallets in a cement plant,
distributing freight, manufacturing automobiles on an assembly line, and
sorting containers in a chemical plant.
