A turnable roller conveyor and a conveyor arrangement

Patentradars sammanfattning

Jartek Invest Oy's invention addresses the large building footprint required by linear sawmill conveyor layouts by introducing a turnable roller conveyor that redirects timber packages between transversely oriented conveyor lines. A conveyor bed carrying multiple powered rotating rollers is rigidly fixed to a circular base structure that rides on a floor-mounted curved (preferably circular) track via peripheral wheels or slide rails. A first power source drives the base structure along the track through a chain, belt, or gear transmission acting on the base structure's curved outer circumference, rotating the entire bed assembly—typically 90°—from a first position aligned with an incoming conveyor to a second position aligned with a transverse outgoing conveyor. Stop elements mounted independently of the rotating assembly prevent timber packages from falling off during both loading and transfer.
