We offer a wide range of ball transfer units, suitable for conveying light or heavy loads and handling different kind of materials. These components are conceived to be used in conveyor systems, loading and unloading operations in airports, ports and shipping platforms, including also lifting equipment.
Applications and functionality of ball transfer units in machine tools
Besides this specific field, they also find application in the different machine tools. For example, metal sheet processing machines, marble and tiles processing machines, glass-processing machines: in this case, the use of the main ball in plastic material is recommended; ball transfer units with main ball in plastic material are particularly suitable to move fragile materials such as glass or sheet metal in general. Ball transfer units are also used for the packing and wrapping equipment, logistics management, conveyor cars and much more.
Applications of ball transfer units in different industrial fields
Our ball transfer units having larger diameters are used in different the fields, such as paper processing, manufacturing industries of forging and mechanical workings, besides the furniture field. Our ball transfer units having smaller diameters are instead used, among others, in the fields of precision electronics, robotics and automation in general, offering versatility in different industrial fields.
Advantages of handling with ball transfer units
In the specific field of handling, the use of ball transfer units ensures that loads of different weights are easily moved, rotated and guided through 360°, allowing the operator less effort and thus improving the optimization of production processes.
Ball transfer units differ from conventional conveyor belts or other kind of mechanical or electronic production lines, since they operate exclusively thanks to the (manual) pushing on the packages to move them from a point to another.
Therefore, in most of their applications, ball transfer units offer the advantage of reducing energy costs as well as repair and maintenance costs.
Ball transfer units: easy maitenance and cleaning
Ball transfer units are closed by the cover, which prevents the accumulation of dirt. Moreover, the holes on the bottom of the housing, which characterize the most part of our ball transfer units (also according to the selected version), allow the exit of impurities and easy cleaning of the same.
