APPLICATIONS
 
NICHOLSON CONVEYORS IN FURNITURE & BEDDING MANUFACTURE

 

Nicholson Conveyors have designed and developed large dimension 90 transfer units for large products up to 2000 mms x 2000 mms, to operate in conjunction with powered roller or belt accumulation conveyors.
Applications for the systems are converging assembly lines to a single packing machine or feeding from carious assembly lines to inspection and packing areas.
For bed handling Nicholson have developed a conveyor system to handle the product vertically, with a resultant saving in space. Developments of this system allow for shuttle cars to transfer lanes and turnover units to transfer the mattresses to the horizontal for feeding packing machines.
Nicholson Conveyors also manufacture a standard range of powered roller conveyors for handling panels and stacks of timber up to 3000 kgs.
Complete gravity and powered roller assembly lines are manufactured to incorporate hydraulic lifting tables, turnover units and pedestrian gates as required.
