Power and Free Conveyors

Our power and free conveyors are versatile systems designed to handle complex material handling processes. Their unique dual-track system, one powered and one free, allows carriers to move independently, enabling accumulation and stopping without affecting the entire line. This versatility ensures that our conveyors are suitable for a wide range of applications, from manufacturing operations to paint finishing systems and automated storage solutions.

Our power and free conveyor systems are built to handle heavy loads and can easily navigate inclines, declines, and curves. The enclosed track design protects the chain and bearings from contaminants, ensuring durability and reducing maintenance needs.

Power and Free conveyors can handle different speeds and start-stop functions within the same system, which is crucial for processes needing precise control. They support asynchronous movement, letting operators work at varied paces across different sections, enhancing productivity in assembly lines, for example.

Features of the Power and Free Conveyor:

• Dual-track design with powered and free movement
• Allows for buffering and accumulation zones
• Capable of transporting heavy and bulky items
• Enclosed track design protects the chain and bearings
• Provides precision control for exact timing
• Suitable for multiple industries: automotive, woodworking, manufacturing, finishing, etc.
• Two trolley/load bar arrangements and four trolley/load bar arrangements are available for heavy loads.

Pacline is a distributor of Jervis B. Webb and offers the Unibilt product line. The Unibilt Uni/Uni has a maximum capacity of 250 lbs. per trolley (500 lbs. per two trolley/load bar arrangement), and the Unbilit Uni/3″ has a maximum capacity of 750 lbs. per trolley (1500 lbs per two trolley/load bar arrangement).

Contact us today to learn more about whether Power and Free conveying solutions are suitable for your application. Please note: Pacline only offers replacement part support on S-310 and S-320 Power and Free models. All new systems will be Uni/Uni or Uni/3″ depending on weight requirements. 

Power and Free conveyors are well suited for applications such as:

• Paint lines where products need to be routed to multiple spray booths or where accumulation in an oven or elsewhere is advantageous
• “Live” overhead storage of products, where high density is key
• Work in progress
• Assembly lines where non-synchronous movement is required
