Flow Channel Transfer Strips - Material Handling Equipment at AT Auto Conveyor

AT Auto Conveyor prepares quotes for Flow Channel Transfer Strips of all sizes with pneumatic pop up ball transfers, fixed ball transfers, pneumatic positioner pads, and pneumatic skate wheels. Comes with hardware and manifold tubing already installed.

PBT Ball Transfer Strips are available with end tabs for mounting in conveyor lines or without end tabs for your own projects and applications.
Ball Transfer Strips are ideal for roller conveyor transfers and repositioning stations.
At the flip of a switch Omtec PBT Ball Transfer Units raise above the conveyor rollers to move items off of the conveyor line with minimal effort.
Flip the switch again Omtec PBT Ball Transfers retract below the conveyor ball rollers allowing items to move on the rollers unaffected by the ball transfer strips.
Omtec’s standard is to place the first and last pop up ball transfer 1.25 inches (31.75MM) C/L from each end of the main body (between frame dimension). The other pop ups are evenly spaced.
Omtec PBT Pop Up Ball Transfer Strips may be any length. The number of Ball Transfers on a strip may be varied and, located on any center lines desired. The minimum center line is 2 inches (50.8mm).

Omtec PBT Pneumatic Ball transfers are air operated. The air in feed line is a single 0.180 I.D. X 0.265 O.D. polyurethane tube under the strip between the first and last ball. The standard in feed tube supplied is 8 inches (203mm) long attached between the first and second ball, but can be any length or location on the strip desired.

Virtually any air control device may operate Omtec Pop Up Ball Transfer Strips. In the majority of applications simple non-electric foot and hand valves are used. The Omtec Pop Up Ball Transfer Unit uses very low air volume, it is usually not a consideration. Each up and down cycle of one ball uses .00038 cubic feet (.0000108 cubic meter).

If needed sensing device operation using electric solenoid valves may be used, control kits are available.

We also provide customization. Here is an example. A customer had ordered some Pop Up Ball Transfer Strips about a month back. The metal rails needed to be modified because there needed to be space for a belt to run in the middle of the strips. I drilled a half inch notch in the middle of the bottom of the side rails and plumbed the tubing outside the rail so it wouldn’t touch the belt. this is an example of the custom solutions we provide for our customers. Providing value for our customers is why we are in business. Discovering new ways to solve the pain points is where we can set ourselves apart from the rest!
