Package Transport

Package conveyor belt

In order to improve the ergonomic efficiency of Volkmann machines, the package belt conveyor has been designed in such a way that packages can be removed sideways at the belt exit point. This enhancement results in a further reduction in operating times and easier operator work loads when handling large volumes of yarn.
The package conveyor belt can also be used as an intermediate storage for the cross-wound packages. A photoelectric barrier at the end of the package belt conveyor permits cycled removal of packages. Further advantages include:

  • A wider conveyor belt surface, designed for removing all the cross-wound packages from one machine side.
  • A trough-shaped guide plate, preventing packages and tubes from jamming and avoiding the formation of trailing ends.
  • Chutes for continuous removal for fitting at the transport ends are available as an option.
