drag chain conveyors

Hytrol drag chain conveyors are available in Canada from Norpak Handling.

A proud Integration Partner with Hytrol Conveyor Company, Norpak Handling continues to supply Hytrol’s innovative conveyor products to clients across Canada. Hytrol’s most recent developments include its drag chain conveyors – particularly the DCEZ-62 and DCEZ-82 designs, both built specifically to handle pallets.

The Hytrol DCEZ-62 and the larger DCEZ-82 are two-strand roller conveyors that use EZLogic Zone Controllers to accumulate pallets with zero pressure, reducing the chances of product collision. Hytrol also manufactures three-strand versions, the DCEZ-63 and DCEZ-83.

Less chance of product damage

By decreasing collision with zero-pressure accumulation, these drag chain conveyors also reduce the chances of product damage. Using the EZLogic Accumulation System and the EZDrive System – technologies developed by Hytrol itself – the DCEZ-62 and DCEZ-82 can sense product presence and start and stop zone drives to control the accumulation and release of the product zones.

Other features of the EZLogic Accumulation System on these drag chain conveyors, available from Norpak:

  • Zone stop function, used at the discharge end of a conveyor line or any location where required. By connecting a dry contact switching device to the EZLogic Zone Controller’s auxiliary port, this transforms any zone into a workstation;
  • Dynamic zone allocation, which improves efficiency and flexibility by automatically adjusting zone length to accommodate product length;
  • Sleep feature, which stops chains from running when no product is sensed, which saves energy and extends chain life;
  • Loading zone feature that prevents upstream-zone loads from entering loading areas; and
  • Zone on Delay, an unloading zone feature that uses a timer to delay zones immediately upstream from removed loads, keeping them from driving for set times.

The DCEZ-62 and DCEZ-82 come with five-foot accumulation zones, single-pitch conveyor chains, pre-lubricated and self-aligning ball bearings on the drives, and hardened drive sprockets. Both are capable of carrying a maximum of 4,000 pounds per zone at 30 feet per minute. The DCEZ-62 comes with a modular assembly, while the DCEZ-82 includes shaft mounted drives. Extra options include adjustable floor supports, different conveying speeds, and accumulation zones of 48, 54, or 66 inches.
