What is a rotating conveyor?

The rotating conveyor is a device used for automatic overturning, rotating or invert of products when they travel along the transport belt. These machines are usually found in factories or production facilities where they are part of the assembly line. Different types of rotating conveyors turn the products along the horizontal axis so that other machines or staff can easily access the bottom of the building. Others simply rotate the orientation of the product along the vertical axis. The rotating conveyor can be designed to turn the products 180 degrees, or turn them 360 degrees as needed. When the belt enters the undressing station, the product is completely closed by the rotating mechanism of the conveyor that surrounds the product at the top, down and both sides. A separate cylinder inside the station rotates with the product inside and then stops the rotating when the building was inverted upside down. The product can then continue traveling along the belt to other stations along the mounting line.

If you want to understand the advantages of a rotating conveyor, consider a standard DVD player. When it moves along the transport belt, workers and machines must access the top and bottom of the player to add different components and covers. Rather than manually pick up each unit up and turn it, the rotating conveyor turns the unit to provide the necessary access. In this type of scenario, multiple swivel units can be used to overturn products from one side to the other at different points along the belt.

Another type of rotating conveyor simply lifts the object so that it is parallel to the surface of the belt, and then turns it along the vertical axis before putting it back on the belt. These units are known as "lifting and rotate" conveyors, and are used to change the orientation of the product at different stages of assembly. For example, in a bottle race, these machines could be used to rotate the bottle bush when it passes under a stuffed station so that all bottles can be fillTent without human intervention. These machines are also useful for orientation of objects to face one side of the belt or the other to cope with machines or maximize the efficiency of human workers.
