Corner transfer unit

Corner transfer units are crucial components in conveyor technology that enable a 90-degree change of direction of the conveyed goods. They ensure a smooth material flow by guiding conveyed goods precisely and in a space-saving manner in new conveying directions without interrupting the main conveyor flow. Their compact design makes them particularly suitable for confined production and storage environments. Thanks to gentle lifting and lowering movements, the conveyed goods are moved gently, making corner transfer units suitable for sensitive goods. They are the ideal solution for efficiently linking different conveyor systems and help to optimise the internal material flow.

Corner transfer units - variants for every application

Corner transfer units are often used in combination with roller conveyors, chain conveyors, transfer cars, turntables or belt conveyors. Depending on the specific requirements, different designs are possible: chain corner transfer units, roller corner transfer units or timing belt corner transfer units. These variants can be flexibly integrated into existing conveyor systems and offer maximum efficiency in the distribution and redirection of conveyed goods. Here you will find a selection of our realised solutions.

How a corner transfer unit works

The direction is changed by lifting the goods to be conveyed onto a second conveyor system, which is aligned at a 90 angle to the main conveyor section. As soon as the conveyed goods have been transferred to the new section, they are gently lowered and transported onwards. Depending on the conveyed goods and operating environment, customised solutions can be implemented that are precisely tailored to the application.

Corner transfer unit in use

Our corner transfer units are used in a variety of industrial sectors, where they optimise the material flow:

Intralogistics: Efficient distribution of conveyed goods in storage and picking systems.
Production: Seamless transfer of workpieces between production stations, e.g. in the manufacture of electrical appliances or metal parts. Our stroke transfer units are suitable for a wide range of applications in manufacturing, including the production of white goods, for feeding robot stations and other machining centres.
Assembly: Ergonomic feeding of components to assembly stations.
Packaging: Integration into palletising systems for an optimised flow of goods.
Recycling: Separation and forwarding of various recyclable materials in recycling processes.
Heavy load transport: Movement of large and heavy components, e.g. in combination with carrier chain conveyors.

Examples from our practice: For one customer, we realised a corner transfer unit as a carrying chain conveyor for feeding heavy load carriers. For another project, we used lifting transfer units to efficiently transfer heavy Euro pallets to a robot filling station. In another application, a roller corner transfer unit was integrated to enable the gentle product transport of dishwasher inner containers between different production areas.
