Systèmes de convoyeurs monorail aériens MCM Sidetrack
Le convoyeur aérien monorail Sidetrack de MCM est conçu pour les applications exigeant une protection optimale des produits contre toute contamination par la chaîne. Le rail et la chaîne pivotent à 90°, permettant ainsi aux supports suspendus en forme de C, fixés à la chaîne, de dépasser par une fente latérale du rail. Cette configuration empêche les contaminants, tels que les gouttelettes d'huile lubrifiante ou les fines particules métalliques, de tomber sur le produit transporté.
Comme la gamme Powertrack, ces convoyeurs sont conçus pour fonctionner à des températures allant jusqu'à 250 °C. Différents accessoires, conçus pour se fixer directement sur la chaîne, sont disponibles, tels que des barres de guidage continu et des unités de rotation des produits. Les systèmes de convoyage MCM Sidetrack (ST30, ST60 et ST100) constituent ainsi la solution idéale pour la manutention de produits en environnements propres, notamment lors des procédés de finition de peinture ou pour la manutention de produits alimentaires et textiles.
Les convoyeurs ST30, ST60 et ST100 ont des capacités de charge suspendue respectives de 30 kg, 60 kg et 75 kg. Le pas minimal varie selon le convoyeur.

Frequently Asked Questions About MCM Sidetrack
MCM Sidetrack is a range of monorail overhead chain conveyor systems designed with the track and chain rotated through 90 degrees. This arrangement allows the hanging pendants to project through a slot in the side of the track and helps protect conveyed products from contamination from the chain.
The Sidetrack design positions the chain and track to the side of the conveyed product rather than directly above it. The side-slot arrangement helps prevent contaminants from the chain, such as droplets of lubricating oil or minute metal particles, from falling onto the product below.
The MCM Sidetrack range includes the ST30, ST60 and ST100 conveyor systems. The different models provide a choice of pendant load capacities and pitches to suit different product handling and process requirements.
Published load capacities are 30 kg per pendant for the Sidetrack 30, 60 kg per pendant for the Sidetrack 60 and 75 kg per pendant for the Sidetrack 100. The appropriate conveyor model depends on the product load and the requirements of the application.
Yes. MCM Sidetrack conveyors are designed to operate through areas with temperatures up to 250°C. This makes the range suitable for manufacturing and processing applications where products pass through heated process areas.
Yes. MCM Sidetrack conveyors are particularly suited to clean handling applications such as paint finishing processes. The side-slot track arrangement helps protect the product from contamination from the conveying elements, while the conveyor can also operate through high-temperature process areas.
MCM Sidetrack conveyors are suitable for applications where clean product handling is important. Amber Industries identifies uses including paint finishing processes and the handling of food and garments, as well as general transportation and processing applications.
Yes. Spinner units for product rotation are available within the MCM Sidetrack range. Various attachments designed to fit directly onto the chain are also available, including pendants and continuous flight bars, allowing the conveyor to be configured for different product handling requirements.
Yes. MCM Sidetrack conveyor modules are designed for installation at high level. By conveying products overhead, the system can help keep valuable floor space available for other manufacturing and processing operations.
Yes. The modular construction of the MCM Sidetrack range uses common components and is designed to allow straightforward installation as well as future alterations and extensions, subject to the requirements of the existing conveyor system and the proposed changes.
