Flexmove slat band conveyors can be used in a multitude of interesting materials handling applications, but one of the more interesting ones is puck handling.
A puck is used often where the product (Normally a bottle to be filled) is housed in a puck for stability and positional accuracy.
The plastic slat band conveyor transports the puck with bottle on it's journey to be filled then emptied of the bottle before getting a fresh empty bottle.
It's a great way to use Flexmove conveyors because the pucks can be accumulated, take inclines and declines but also the product can be taken out of the puck by a "Depucker" which grabs the product from the sides and while the puck drops away on the horizontal conveyor the depucker keeps hold of the product, depositing it onto another conveyor.
