Roskam offers a total line of custom conveyors. All design (mechanical, electrical plus PLC programming) is done in-house as is the manufacture, the complete assembly and test running of each system on our floor prior to shipment.

Ground Level Conveyors

Features Include:

Custom engineered systems to accommodate your specific needs using the very best of raw materials in the manufacturing process plus the use of state-of-the-art purchased components throughout.

Stainless steel top plates or sheet metal with UHMW guides for long wear, efficiency and reduced drag.

Aluminum belt pulleys machined in-house and crowned to keep belts in place.

Long-wearing Habasit belting used throughout, spliced with our self-aligned puzzle-cut system.

Self-lubricating roller chain or optional timing belt drive.

Heavy-duty motors and gearboxes

Color-coded wires are used in the control panels and all wiring is marked with one-piece, slip-on wire markers for permanence.

Conveyors are pre-wired to terminal boxes for reduced installation time.

PLC programming with digital motor controls for accurate automatic press speed following.

Press Discharge Conveyors

Inspection Conveyors

Overhead Conveyors

Custom walk-under overhead systems, built to accomodate customers specific conveyor needs. Also available as Overhead Conveyor with Spirals. Turns product as it travels up through incline and/or decline sections (eliminating need for flow turns). The Roskam overhead conveyor line economically reclaims floor space to add an in-line trimmer, provide more work area or add a Roskam stacking system with robotic palletizer.

Features Include:

Trapped V-Guide, Wide Flat or Tape Belts sections are used depending on applicational needs.

Books are captured from the center out, evenly flattening them much like crusher rollers.

Belt joggers are used to align the stream.

Aluminum or steel belt pulleys are used throughout for long wear.

Digital automatic speed following of the press as well as digital scrap tracking.

Heavy-duty components used throughout for durability, including stainless steel metal top plates with UHMW guides to protect belting from wear and give a smooth-running surface.

Spiral turns incorporated into incline and/or decline sections turn product at the desired angle to accom- modate custom conveyor configurations.

Advantages:

Lower initial investment

Reduced set-up/installation time (2 days for most)

Pre-shipment assembled and test run on our floor (then disassembled, shipped and re-assembled in your plant)

Low maintenance costs-no grippers or spring-loaded rollers to replace

Trimmer By-Pass

Divert Gates

Multi-Level

90° Drop Turns

Patented 90 degree drop turns to change product orientation plus maintain or improve the stream. This conveyor, Model 750, is designed to change product orientation from a head-to-foot configuration to backbone leading.

A unique top-belt assembly and infeed section make it possible to handle light weight 4, 8, and higher pagination signatures at low and high speeds while maintaining or improving the shingle of the stream.

The new concept in design and use of vacuum belts virtually eliminates the mis-shingling and jam-ups of product as it passes through the conveyor system.

Power Disc or Belt Turns

Accommodate turning requirements from 13 1/2 degrees up to 180 degrees.

Spreader Belts

Deserters

Stream Joggers

Crusher Roll Stands

Features Include:

Crusher rollers are designed to flatten signatures to enhance the running of product through
trimmers and/or stacker plus optional belt joggers to align skewed signatures.

Pneumatically controlled crusher rolls

Manual or automatic speed follow (geared to your speed requirements)

Heavy duty pneumatic cylinders (regulated 0-80 lbs.)

Portable and with floor locks (for ease of movement and placement)

Adjustable infeed & outfeed heights + or - 2. (Built to accommodate your specific height requirements)

Heavy duty construction throughout

AC motor and drive controller (various brands available)

Optional - Infeed joggers to align stream before primary crusher rolls

Tandem Crusher Roll additional feature:

Pneumatically controlled secondary crusher rolls with adjustable 2 1/2” wide top roller to accommodate crush of fold on side of 1/4 folded product.
