Conveyor systems vary significantly based on variety. Right from roller conveyors to belt conveyors and more, almost all conveyors have a strong base. However, in cases where this support is not possible, businesses need to look for alternate options. One such option is ceiling hangers. Ceiling hangers are a means of vertical suspension that supports the conveyor through a series of hangers attached to the ceiling. This blog will explore some features and applications of this support structure.
Features And Applications Of Ceiling Hangers
Utilizing Maximum Floor Space
In situations where it is not feasible to opt for floor support, or where there is a need to maximize the usage of available floor space, ceiling hangers are the best choice.
Use Of Conveyor Guarding Is Essential
Since ceiling hangers are mainly used for overhead conveying applications, it is important to have conveyor guarding for them as there is a chance for the material to slip or slide off the conveyor system.
Can Accommodate Non-Powered And Powered Conveyors
Lastly, ceiling hangers can accommodate non-powered conveyors such as gravity conveyors and all types of powered conveyors.
Applications
Suspending Conveyors Above Floor Supported Machinery
Ideally, ceiling hangers can be used to suspend conveyors below ceiling trusses, lights, HVAC systems, and piping and above floor-supported machinery. This intermediate space is expertly utilized with the aid of ceiling hangers.
Conveying Light And Medium Duty Products
As sturdy as they can be, ceiling hangers are only feasible for the transportation of light and medium-duty products. They are not stable or strong enough to handle heavy-duty goods and in such cases, other alternatives must be considered.
