Metzner Caterpillar Haul-offs
for the gentle transport of extruded rubber profiles to the processing system
Metzner caterpillar haul-offs gently transport rubber profiles, which are pulled out of a cooling bath after extrusion and further processed, to the processing system. To guarantee material feed without deformation, tension or pressure points, Metzner uses long conveyor belts that run completely synchronously. This characteristic is maintained even at speeds of up to 40 m/min.
All caterpillar haul-offs are connected to the extrusion line via an interface. This ensures that the transport speed of the caterpillar haul-offs runs parallel to the extrusion line. Simultaneously, the caterpillar haul-off sends a signal to the cutting machine when production stops or restarts. The advantage: processing is almost completely automatic.
Depending on customer requirements, the caterpillar haul-offs are manufactured with different belt lengths and widths. In this case, the following applies: The more flexible the material is, the longer the belt length should be. In the case of extremely soft materials, Metzner offers an optional pressure regulation that ensures optimum contact pressure.
All belts can be replaced within a very short time using the Metzner quick-change system. This minimises set-up times. The insertion of new profiles is also designed to be user-friendly.
Gentle profile feeding in in-line extrusion
Metzner caterpillar haul-offs gently transport rubber profiles, which are pulled out of a cooling bath after extrusion and further processed, to the processing system.
Special features
Pneumatic belt lifting function
The caterpillar haul-off has a pneumatic belt lifting function with "spring-loaded contact pressure" for gentle material handling.
Separate drive motors for each belt without wear parts
The caterpillar haul-off has separate drive motors for each belt. There are no wear parts such as chains, belts or gears for drive conversion.
Automatic belt lifting when the cap is opened
Automatic tape lifting when the cap is opened
Uncomplicated belt change
The belt can be changed by means of a belt tensioning system without tools and long downtimes.
Special safety inlet
A special safety inlet provides an inlet opening for large profile cross-sections without a safety clearance of 800 mm.
