Stockyard
proud of their record!
 Since
1964, Hytrol has offered stock conveyors shipped in 24 hours, or less.
In 1967, the on-time shipping percentage was made public to show
everyone that Hytrol can do it! With the Stockyard’s move to
Jonesboro, that hasn’t changed. Large signs are on prominent display
near the shipping area, showing everyone the Hytrol stockyard ON-TIME
24-HOUR SHIPPING PERCENTAGE!
The Jonesboro Stockyard continues to
prove they are the leaders when it comes to fast conveyor shipments. 100
percent in 2000 is without a doubt the best in the industry. Each day,
members of the Stockyard team work hard to satisfy the needs of
customers who need quality conveyors quickly. They prove time and time
again there’s no Stockyard like Hytrol’s Stockyard!
Today’s current display tells everyone
Hytrol shipped 100% ON TIME in 2000! An old clipping from a 1970’s era
Hy-Lites, right, shows an employee placing the monthly percentage on the
board.

Model
2511-CREZ
 Hytrol’s
Conveyor of the Month is the Model 2511-CREZ. This unit is a chain
driven live roller conveyor designed to handle loads such as pallets,
drums, etc. Items are accumulated with "Zero-Back Pressure,"
which reduces the possibility of collisions that may result in product
damage.
The Hytrol 2511-CREZ features the EZ-Logic®
accumulation system, providing accurate, reliable, zero-pressure
accumulation. The EZ-Logic conveyor is made up of standard 60 inch long
accumulation zones. Hytrol’s EZ-Logic accumulation modules sense
product presence and control the accumulation and release of product
from the zones according to your specifications. The 2511-CREZ also
features chain driven rollers, 4 ga. formed steel frames, and adjustable
floor supports.

Positioning
cartons using skewed rollers
There are
situations in the world of material handling when justifying products
to one side of the conveyor is important. Some of these situations
include preparing the product to be sorted with pushers or pop-up
diverters, positioning the product for label applicators, or
preventing narrow products from getting side by side on wide
conveyors. One good and simple method of justifying cartons to one
side of a conveyor is to use a skewed roller section. The required
length of the skewed roller section necessary to make sure all
products are justified may be calculated using the following formula:
SAMPLE
PROBLEM:
Given: a 190-ACC 28" OAW conveying
boxes from 8" wide
x 13" long to 20" wide x 29" long
Find: The length of the skewed section
using a 3" skew required
to position all boxes
to one side.
Solution: The box with the most
potential side travel is
the narrowest box.
BR
= 28" OAW -3" = 25 inch BR
Max Side Travel= 25" BR - 8" Box Width =
17" |
 |
Keep in mind that some type of low
friction guide rail will need to be positioned on the side to which
you are positioning product. Also remember that product flow may be
affected in the skewed roller section, therefore, any gapping of the
product should be done after justifying.
