Under Press Conveyor
Low-profile conveyors that receive parts and runners beneath the mold and carry them out of the press to a container, separator, granulator, or downstream conveyor.
Application
Receiving parts beneath the mold
An under press conveyor is positioned beneath the mold to receive parts, runners, and sprues as they drop. It carries them out from under the press to a container, separator, granulator, or another conveyor.
The 510 series is a straight, flat conveyor. The 525 series adds an incline discharge to lift parts out of the press and into a gaylord. Frames are available in E-series welded steel or A-series structural aluminum, with low-profile 3XX frames for limited clearance.
Where parts and runners drop together, a LaRos finger separator can be mounted at the discharge end and driven by the conveyor to separate them.
Construction
Standard features
- E-series welded steel (7 or 10 gauge) or A-series structural aluminum with bolted tubular cross members
- No exposed motor or drive components on internally mounted drives
- UHMW-PE belt slider and contact surfaces
- Large diameter crowned pulleys and shafts for tracking and belt life, sized to the length and width of the conveyor
- Heavy-duty belt return rollers
- Belting selected for the application, with oil-resistant and static-conductive options
- Permanently lubricated self-aligning bearings
- AC gearmotor with VFD, 115V single-phase input
- Shipped fully assembled with the belt installed and tracked

Common add-ons
Options for your press
- Soft drop zone: slider bed removed in the drop area so parts land on the belt rather than a steel bed
- Skirting and padding for cosmetic or small parts
- Containment hoppers and chutes sized to your mold and platens
- Finger separator mounted on and driven by the conveyor
- SMART-VEYOR automatic reject control reverses the conveyor on the press reject signal, discharging rejected shots off the back end
- Polycarbonate or steel covers over any section
- Cooling fans over the belt
