Stroke diverters, also known as corner diverters, change the conveying direction on a conveyor system at a 90-degree angle. They make it possible to change the direction of the conveyed goods in a very confined space without interrupting the flow of the main conveyor line. This means that conveyed goods can be easily fed in and out, their conveying direction changed or linked to the downstream intralogistics system.
Lift transfer units enable efficient and space-saving linking of conveyor systems in production and storage environments. Thanks to the gentle lifting and lowering movements, the risk of damage to the conveyed goods is minimised so that even sensitive goods can be transported without any problems. When planning the conveyor sequence, it should be noted that the lift transfer unit changes the orientation of the conveyed goods when changing direction.
Large selection of stroke converters
A frequently used combination is roller conveyorswith an integrated chain lift converter. Like our rotary tables,travelling carriagesand vertical conveyorswith different conveyor components such as roller conveyors, chain conveyors, belt conveyorsor various special designs can be realised. For example, there are chain lift transfer units, roller lift transfer units and belt lift transfer units as well as toothed belt lift transfer units. See for yourself the breadth of our expertise in conveyor systems and accessories: a selection of our realised projects with illustrative images can be found here.
Advantages of stroke converters from TEGEL-TECHNIK
Broad range of applications: Depending on the design, our lift transfer units are suitable for different applications and industries. The gentle and low-pulse lifting movement means that even sensitive goods can be transported gently.
Individuality and flexibility: Our lift transfer units enable a cost-effective and space-saving layout of conveyor lines thanks to the right-angled transport of goods. The gentle movements mean that even sensitive goods can be transported without risk.
Robust and reliable: Our components are characterised by high-quality materials and careful workmanship. We supply robust and durable designs that are suitable for conveying in a wide range of conditions.
Efficiency and cost-effectiveness: Our modern stroke transfer units are characterised by high throughput rates and short cycle times. This allows you to increase the productivity of your conveyor system.
Everything from a single source: We offer a high level of vertical integration with an extensive range of mechanical, electrical and software services. As a company and manufacturer in the field of conveyor technology, we have been drawing on our valuable experience since 1982.
Functionality of stroke converters
The change of direction in lift transfer units is achieved by lifting the conveyed goods from the feeding conveyor using an integrated second conveyor system. The transfer unit travels upwards between the conveyor elements of the infeed conveyor, thereby picking up the conveyed goods. The 90-degree rotation of the second conveyor system causes the conveyed material to change direction.
When selecting a lift transfer unit, the type and size of the goods to be conveyed, the weight, the conveying capacity and, in particular, the existing installation conditions must be taken into account. We will be happy to advise you on the selection of the right lift converter and other components for your conveying solution.
Stroke converter in use
Our lift transfer units are flexible and powerful conveyor elements that optimise the material flow in a wide range of applications. Thanks to their integrated and space-saving design and gentle transport handling, they are ideal for use in modern production and storage environments. Our lift transfer units can be found in the following industries, among others:
Intralogistics: Lifting transfer units are used in storage and order picking systems to efficiently distribute goods.
Production: In production lines, workpieces are transported between the individual work stations using lifting transfer units. Our lifting transfer units are used in the production of white goods, in the feeding of robot stations or other processing machines, among other things.
One example of gentle product transport is lifting transfer units with toothed belts: We implemented these requirements for a customer for the transport of dishwasher inner containers.
Assembly: Lifting transfer units are popular conveyor systems for the ergonomic feeding of components to assembly stations.
Packaging: Lifting transfer units are often used to transport packaged products in palletising systems. For our customer, we have implemented a system for transporting heavy Euro pallets to a robot filling station. The conveying direction is changed using a lift converter, which is designed as a carrier chain conveyor. This design is often referred to as a chain lift transfer unit.
Recycling: In recycling plants, lift transfer units sort different recyclable materials.
Heavy loads: Even heavy goods can be moved easily with lift transfer units. For our customer, we have implemented carrying chain conveyors for feeding heavy load carriers in a robot station. The lift transfer units are equipped with driven roller conveyors and integrated into the carrier chain conveyor. This variant is also known as a roller lift transfer unit.
