NBS Application
NBS Selection Guidelines
Use NBS When:
•
Medium to high speed sortation is required
•
Product may be same size and weight, or mixed
•
Product weight: 1-75 lbs, 1500 lbs. total load
•
Product size: 6" X 9" Min -- 28" X 28" Max
•
Ambient temperature is +35° to 100°F (50° to 100°F for NBS 30 WAVE™ Aligner.)
APPLICATION NOTES
1. Matching conveyor rates before and after NBS
sortation are vital to proper application decisions.
2. The take-away lanes from NBS can be either skatewheel/gravity (used as a deceleration area), or powered
conveyor, run at a speed, which can receive products as fast as they are released from the NBS.
3. The maximum divert rate for a NBS 30 is 100 CPM (18" X 18" cases moving at 300 feet per minute); for NBS
30 WAVE it is 150 CPM at 425 FPM; for NBS 90 it is 60 CPM, and single-direction, bi-directional rate it is 50
CPM.
4. When feeding NBS sortation, use a split metering belt to singulate individual products with a minimum gap of
18". For NBS 30 WAVE, minimum gap is 6”.
5. For NBS30 justify all products along the divert lane side of the NBS sorter.
6. When the NBS over-all-length is over 100', an adjustable screw belt take-up unit must be installed to allow a
greater degree of belt take-up than is available from the main NBS drive take-up.
7. The maximum length of a NBS sortation conveyor, including an adjustable screw belt take-up unit, is 150'.
Max for NBS 30 WAVE is 100’, subject to 500 lbs. max belt pull limit.
8. The gearmotors used for NBS drives are all VFD (variable frequency drive) rated.
CAUTION
The use of a VFD (VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE) is required for NBS drive motor control. Ignoring this point
may void the belt and motor manufacturer's warranty.
