Roll-up door for clean rooms

An innovative electric roll-up door, which opens at the touch of a button, conserves valuable clean room space by eliminating large door clearance requirements. An automatic safety interlock device ensures that both doors are not accessed at the same time, and restricts the amount of air escaping the clean room to a very small volume.

The roll-up feature provides safety and efficiency in the clean room, since the door cannot be left ajar, impeding passing carts and traffic.

Pass throughs significantly reduce traffic and contamination, providing a better, safer way to transfer equipment and paperwork to and from cleanrooms. They are constructed of stainless steel with see-through static- dissipative PVC roll-up doors.

Zero-pressure chain conveyor

A zero-pressure case drag chain conveyor provides ultra-gentle accumulation of fragile product in the packaging line at beverage and other consumer goods manufacturing plants.

The ArrowTrak ZPC conveyor offers a revolutionary method of case accumulation on a drag chain conveyor. The drag chain drops away from beneath the cases, enabling them to accumulate on a bed of three parallel static accumulation support bars with minimal chain-to-product contact. The result is gentler handling, which reduces the risk of unsightly damage to the product.

Each section of the conveyor is powered by a modular drive idle, offering maximum versatility in conveyor system configuration. Adjustable guide rails accommodate diverse package widths. The conveyor is available in either stainless or mild steel construction.

Conveyor systems

Conveyor systems provide the most consistent roller action, eliminate slippage, and ensure safe operation. These are guaranteed to handle the rated weight regardless of bottom pallet boards running parallel or perpendicular. Large diameter drive sprockets provide greater contact with drive chain for minimal wear and longer life of the chain and sprocket.

The conveyors are configured to handle virtually any application including washdown, splash, or cold environments. They are also configured to special speeds, soft start/stop, and close or tight spaced rollers.
