Gravity Feed Conveyors

We offer a wide range of gravity conveyors, ranging from a simple light duty models, up to very heavy duty models.

The main purpose of any conveyor is to move items from a start point to a finish point and gravity conveyors with a slight incline will do so automatically.  Some gravity conveyor is used as plain roller track where an operator moves the items manually and this is useful where more control is required and where the item is to heavy for conventional handling. The gravity track can also be used with roller track and powered track and very complex handling solutions can be designed to cover all eventualities.

The advantages of the gravity feed conveyor or plain roller track:

• Low initial costs
• Easily moved around
• Cheap to operate
• Low maintenance
• Can be easily adapted with gates and stops

The gravity conveyors can be manufactured from mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel.

With a choice of both plastic & steel rollers, and skate wheels for light duty systems, and a wide range of accessories Merlin can implement any conveyor system to meet exacting customer requirements. 

As well as the roller track systems mentioned above we offer specialist conveyor such as telescopic sections for the loading and unloading of vehicles.

Please contact us should you wish one of our technical representatives to visit and discuss your requirements.

Vehicle Loaders

Vehicle loaders and unloader conveyors are available in Fixed, Flexible and Mobile versions and can be tailored to suit your specific requirements. From mail to mattresses we have a conveyor to help with the safe and quick loading or unloading of the vehicles listed below;

Belt Boom Conveyor

Our unique telescopic vehicle loading conveyors have the following standard features:

Unique designed chassis

Front LED lighting

Electrically interlocked pop out roller at the front end

Soft start of motors and belt

Roller shrouds to avoid nipping points

Front anti-collision buffer strip

We offer a range of sizes to cover all applications. Our TL3-6-12-600 model will extend to 12 metres, our TL3-7.5-15-600 extends to 15 metres to handle the largest trailers.

Standard belt widths are 600 and 800mm.

All our conveyors have a capacity of 50kg per metre plus 100kg end load.

Operator controls are push-button and control the direction of travel of the belt and extend/retract the conveyor. Emergency stops are provided in three positions.

Powered Conveyors

Mobile powered loaders are ideally suited for a wide range of applications. The standard range includes 45 permutations of conveyors, in addition any unit can be supplied with an epoxy resin finish and food grade belt for food handling applications.

Health and Safety features common to all the range include finger guards, a mushroom-headed stop button and a specially designed machine drum, smaller than the belt width, so that fingers cannot be trapped easily.

Each model is rated to carry 100Kg per metre (67 lb per foot) with a maximum spread load of 350Kg (770 lb). Power is supplied by a fixed-speed 1/2HP single-phase 240V AC motor, with an optional 3 phase motor available at no extra charge. Other options are available on request.

In vehicle loading applications an optional gravity expandable "tongue" accessory can be attached to the end of the main-boom, giving access deep inside the vehicle. Other accessories available for this range include adjustable side guards, hydraulic infeed table lifts and electro-hydraulic controls. 

Power Belts 

Powered Belt systems can be supplied in virtually any configuration to suit specific applications and are ideal for general-purpose use or available in food quality finish.

Standard widths are 300mm, 450mm and 600mm with up to 1000mm available to order.

All belts can be supplied with a choice of finish including plain, grip face for inclines and food quality. Additionally all belts can be vulcanised endless if required, otherwise our standard fasteners in metal or stainless steel are used. The steel frame sections are electrically welded and bolted, with a variety of supports available giving complete versatility.
Power is provided by single or 3 phase electric motors, available for most AC voltages, with fixed speed roller chain drive or variable speed gears.
Starters, reversing starters, remote controls, electromagnetic brakes and emergency stops are all available to suit the customers particular needs.
All exposed drives and drums are protected bv metal guards to comply with the latest safety regulations. Adjustable or fixed side guides are also available in steel or stainless steel.
All Powered Belt systems can be arranged horizontally or inclined, and integrated into other types of conveyancing to form a complete handling system.
