Water Cooling Conveyors

Description

Water-cooling conveyors are an excellent way to cool thick-walled parts as they are being transferred to another conveyor or work station. Customized, flat-to-incline conveyors and water holding tanks provide a soft landing and maximum cooling. Units are available in a wide choice of widths and lengths. An indexing option is also available. Tank and conveyor specifications are the same as those listed below for standard Submersible Conveyors.

A wide choice of options allows water-cooling conveyors to be customized to suit specific application needs. This Submersible Conveyor, used in conjunction with a robot, has an elevated floor stand that raises it to meet the robot's release height. Heavy-duty castors allow it to be moved easily within the plant.
