Clean Room Conveyors

Minimizing grease, oil, dirt and debris in a sanitary environment can be one the biggest challenges for medical molders. Our ACR line of clean room-friendly conveyors offers medical molders a high-quality, economical solution for automating their clean room facilities.

Flat Belt ACRF

Strong, multiple use conveyor. Use under the press, trunkline, overhead, assembly etc. Many available options.

Cleated Belt ACRC

A wide choice of options allow these sturdy, cleated incline conveyor to be customized to fit a wide range of needs. Shown with optional hopper.

Adjustable Angle ACRK

Perfect for under the press, box-filling applications, etc. Horizontal to incline transition rollers eliminate pinch points an assure smooth part transfer.

Exclusive Features

Aluminum framing and stainless steel guarding and legs resist corrosion and eliminate paint chip contamination
A USDA/FDA approved belt
An open-construction slide bed with UHMW contact strips eliminates places where abrasive debris can collect
Direct Drive motor replaces leak-prone, chain-driven systems
Sealed bearings reduce the possibility of lubricant leaks

Options

To better suit more molders’ specific needs for their clean rooms, EMI has designed the ACR conveyors to be fully customizable with the following options:

Stainless steel framing
Sealed belt edges to minimize dust from belt fraying
Non-fraying Intralox plastic belting eliminates friction contamination and is fast and easy to clean
Wash-down compliant electrics
USDA/FDA approved Delrin® rail lining to keep parts from touching the metal side rails
Maintenance-free, grease-lubricated gearbox to prevent leak contamination
Deionizing blowers to eliminate static electricity and prevent particulates from sticking to molded parts
Catch trays to prevent particulates from escaping into the environment

Specifications

Drive Package: The Direct Drive package includes a C-faced, TEFC 1/3 hp motor. Motors through 1 hp are 110/60/1 voltage and come with a thermal protected toggle switch motor starter in a NEMA 1 enclosure. 15' of SJ cord with a standard three-prong plug is pre-wired to the starter (other voltage and motor starters available). Control wiring is contained in liquid tight conduit and connectors. Drive packages for conveyors 3'–30' long have 150 lbs. maximum load (drive packages for heavier loads are available).

NOTE: If an optional variable speed drive is purchased, we do not recommend running the motor at less than 1/3 of the overall output (speed), as this could result in lowering the life expectancy of the motor. If you are planning on running at less than 1/3 of the output, please consult an EMI Representative.

Belt Guidance: True Track Belt Guidance System comes standard on 3'-30' long conveyors. Using a Double V-guide slot in the frame, 1/4" wall crowned pulleys, and bonded Double V-guide belting, “True Track” minimizes belt run off and reduces belt tracking maintenance.
Pulleys: To ensure long lived operation, 3 1/2" diameter crowned pulleys incorporate 1" diameter shafts, self aligning sealed ball bearings with eccentric locking collars, telescopic take-up adjustment, position locking nuts, and Zerk grease fittings.

Belting: Our easy to clean, FDA approved, white, PVC belting with staple-type belt lacing (which prevents lacing pullout and splice failure), makes belt maintenance quick and easy. Inclined conveyors have a bottom cleat support plate and bonded flexible cleats that have no bolts or rivets that may tear out.
Frame: Choose from 1/8" anodized sheet aluminum.
Rails: To ensure molded pieces do not get pinched, damaged, or lost between the rail and belt, we place either 12-gauge or 1/8" anodized aluminum 4" rails so that they overlap the belt by 1/2". To keep your molded parts contained on the infeed end of the conveyor, we include an infeed-end backpiece.
Shipment: Generally conveyors 3'–10' are shipped fully assembled, pre-wired, tested, and ready to run (legs must be attached). Conveyors 11' and over are shipped partially assembled to minimize shipping damage. Some frame and belt assembly is required; drive packages and system panels are pre-assembled and tested. For your convenience, arrangements can be made for longer conveyors to be shipped assembled.
Leg Sets: Adjustable stainless steel leg sets and locking swivel castors are included as standard on all clean room conveyors. Belt height must be specified.
