HYTROL STOCKYARD ADDS MORE MODELS TO STOCK LIST

             

 

 

 

 

25-CRR

 

The success of the Hytrol Stockyard has been phenomenal. In 1964, when Hytrol began offering stock conveyors shipped in twenty-four hours, many said it couldn’t be done. Now, over 36 years later, the Stockyard continues to ship ordered stock in 24 hours, or less. Other models are available for one week shipment.
Recently, several more models have been added to the stock list, making Hytrol’s offering of models the largest in the industry. Now available are:

190-ABEZ HBC

Model 25-CRR Chain Roller Conveyor (24-Hour item)
Model HBC High Speed Belt Curve (one week item)
Gas Operated Gate (24-Hour item)
Model 190-ABEZ Zero-Pressure Accumulating (one week item)
Also available in one week are the Skatewheel Spurs, 1-3/8 Gravity Roller Spurs, and 190 Gravity Roller Spurs.
Gas Operated Gate
Conveyor of the Month
Model TA

Hytrol’s Model TA horizontal belt conveyor is the most popular and most utilized conveyor in the Hytrol line. The TA was unveiled in 1961 and customers quickly saw the potential in this versatile unit. It has been used in almost every kind of manufacturing, product handling, and warehousing application. It’s uses include sorting, packing, inspection, assembly line operations, testing, etc.

The model name "TA" is derived from the word TAble or table conveyor because of its simple table like design. Because the unit’s design is not complex, it’s uses and applications are many due to its versatility. Lengths in a variety of sizes linked with conveyor belt widths ranging from a narrow 6 in. to 24 in. wide. Wider widths can be engineered for special applications. Drive configurations range from a standard 4 in. or 8 in. dia. end drive to a neat and compact optional side mounted drive where low conveyor elevations are necessary. A center drive or overhead end drive can also be supplied.

Add to this that the Model TA can be shipped from Hytrol’s Stockyard within 24 hours and you have a conveyor that just cannot be topped.

Will the box tumble--?

When tall boxes must be moved down an incline, the potential for tumbling naturally increases. When the incline angle is too great, tall boxes will tumble.

To determine if a certain size box will tumble, a formula has been devised. Drawing at right shows the layout to the formula.

1. Draw conveyor angle and box size (Height and Length).
2. Find center of box by drawing lines "A" and "B."
3. Draw vertical line "C."
4. If line "C" falls within lower third, the box could tumble.
