Ramp Conveyor
The REL Ramp Conveyor is manufactured to smoothly transition the board from the 70”
elevation of the Quarter Turn Power Curve to the 42” height of the Paint Conveyor. The
board rides on lineshaft driven rollers on this conveyor.
Paint Conveyor
The REL Paint Conveyor has driven infeed and outfeed belt beds with a gap provided to
accept the curtain coater provided by others. The infeed and outfeed conveyors are linked
with a timing belt to ensure constant speed through the paint conveyor. The paint is applied
with the board completely flat. The corner turn conveyor following the paint conveyor is
positioned such that the board will not start turning until the tail end has exited the paint
stream.
Quarter Turn Power Curves
The REL Power Curve Conveyor is manufactured to smoothly transition the board around
90 degree corners in the conveying process. The board rides on lineshaft driven rollers on
these conveyors.
Straight Conveyors
The REL Straight Conveyors are manufactured to move the board in the conveying process.
Edge guides are provided as needed to control product flow. The board rides on lineshaft
driven rollers on these conveyors.
High Speed Tipple
The REL High Speed Tipple Conveyor consists of a tipple frame that incorporates two sets of
driven belt beds. It is designed to separate the incoming product stream onto two stacked
outfeed conveyors leading to the board flippers. Each board will alternately be directed to
the upper level and Flipper #2 or the lower level and Flipper #1. The tipple frame pivots
around a point at the outfeed end, with the infeed end moving up and down. As a board
enters the tipple in the down position (top belt bed), the tipple starts indexing up before the
board is completely through. The next board enters with the tipple frame in the raised
position (lower belt bed) and passes completely onto the tipple conveyor before the tipple
indexes back to the down position. The tipple frame is actuated by way of a rotary servo
motor, raising or lowering the frame depending on the sequence.
