BOWTIE CONVEYOR FOR HANDLING PIPE AND OTHER CYLINDRICAL PRODUCTS

The trough shape of the roller used on this conveyor system from TKF allows the product to be conveyed while virtually eliminating the side-to-side movement associated with a round object.

Posted: November 17, 2010

TKF, Inc. (Cincinnati, OH) offers custom bowtie conveyor systems that are designed to convey pipe and other cylindrically shaped products efficiently and safely within a small footprint. Sometimes called a “V” roller, the trough shape of the roller allows the product to be conveyed while virtually eliminating the side-to-side movement associated with a round object.

While each system is customized to each customer’s specific requirements, the driving mechanism can be roller-to-roller chain drive or TKF’s roller-to-roller PosiGrip belt drive.
