Vertical Conveyor Blockage Control: Buffering, Occupancy, and Restart Logic
Vertical conveyor blockage control should stop new product release before an occupied downstream zone becomes a jam. The control system must know whether the receiving zone is clear, where products are waiting, and whether buffer space remains. A downstream occupied condition is not the same as a...Read more -
Vertical Conveyor for Mixed Product Sizes: How One Carrier Handles Multiple SKUs
A vertical conveyor can handle several product sizes without changing carriers—but only if every approved SKU works inside the same carrier and transfer envelope. The largest product is not the only design case. A smaller carton may have the worst bottom support, another SKU may be the talles...Read more -
Vertical Conveyor Carrier Design: Forks, Platforms and Spacing
A vertical conveyor carrier can support the required weight and still be the wrong design. The real question is where the product is supported and how the product enters and leaves the carrier. Product bottom shape, center of gravity, and transfer method therefore come before load rating alone....Read more -
Continuous Vertical Conveyor vs VRC: Which Is Right for Your Application?
Think of a continuous vertical conveyor like an escalator and a VRC like an elevator. An escalator keeps many steps moving in a loop, while an elevator uses one cab that travels up and down. The same basic difference separates these two vertical conveyor systems. A continuous vertical conveyor ...Read more -
Vertical Conveyor Capacity Calculation: Carrier Pitch, Speed, and Cycle Time
Vertical conveyor capacity is calculated from carrier availability, products per carrier, and the time required to load, lift, and discharge each product—not from vertical speed alone. A carrier pitch of 2 m at 0.5 m/s brings one carrier to the loading point every four seconds, or 15 carriers pe...Read more -
Vertical Conveyor Jam Causes: How to Troubleshoot Transfer-Point Failures
Vertical conveyor jam causes at infeed and outfeed points fall into four groups: lost product support, incorrect position, mechanical misalignment, or missing control confirmation. A jam alarm does not prove that a product is physically trapped. The alarm proves only that the transfer sequence d...Read more -
Vertical Conveyor Transfer Design: Infeed, Alignment, Gap, and Timing
Vertical conveyor transfer design determines whether a unit load crosses the infeed or outfeed interface without losing support, position, or timing. A vertical conveyor transfer is the controlled handoff of a unit load between the lift carrier and an infeed or outfeed conveyor at a fixed transf...Read more -
Vertical Chain Conveyor for Unit Loads: Design and Selection Guide
A vertical chain conveyor is a dedicated lifting system for stable unit loads between fixed elevations. It is not a universal vertical conveyor for unstable products or loads that cannot maintain a controlled position during lifting and transfer. Selection depends on load stability, transfer met...Read more -
