Lift Gates Provide Safe "Walk Through" Conveyor Access in Confined Areas by Multi Conveyor

Multi-Conveyor recently built two (2) independently powered straight configured bottle conveyors with lift gates for a new chemical packaging line. Single lane filled and capped containers (of which product was not shown for proprietary purposes) end transfer on low back pressure roller transitions with complete stability at infeed and again at discharge of the petite 80” overall long conveyor sections.
Each conveyor includes a manually operated lift gate assembly for operator access through the production lines. The operator easily maneuvers to the opposite side where they safely and manually lower the slave driven lift gate back into the horizontal position
An operator can access the lift gates by using handles mounted on either side of the system. Multi-Conveyor designed each lift gate assembly with a bottom safety pan for additional operator protection while in the upright position. This manual lift gate assembly was provided with 30” clearance in upright position, slave driven from each conveyor discharge end.
Standard built-in safety includes bearing covers, finger guards, shaft cut-guards. We demonstrate raising and lowering the mechanism in operation mode for demonstration purposes only. However, Multi-Conveyor urges customers to power off the conveyor before accessing a lift gate assembly for operator safety. Proper safety training is outlined in our Operations Manual but is ultimately the responsibility of the end-user.
Lift gates are part of Multi-Conveyor’s core capabilities. We provided an assortment of lift gate solutions for many markets. Some cases require pneumatic assist or air shock assist lift gates solutions to provide a gentle return to their base horizontal position.
