Our Solutions

Table-top conveyor belts

Lanfranchi table-top conveyor belts are designed for high speed handling of all types of containers with maximum accuracy.

The flexibility required for creating the layout of more complex lines is made possible by the concept of modularity, that Lanfranchi table -top conveyor belts are conceived and built with.

This modularity allows for quick installation. With the Lanfranchi modular concept, integration into existing lines comes naturally.

Technical specifications:

Modern yet functional design.

Main structure of the belt built with stainless steel.

The type of chain and/or belt is optimised based on container type

The side containment guides, designed to prevent damage to containers and labels, are built with AISI 304 stainless steel and high density polyethylene contact profile.

Guide position can be adjusted manually or automatically.

The standard height of the work surface can be adjusted by ±50 mm by the feet.

The electric conduit is available in various types and integrates perfectly into the main structure.

The silicone or water-based dry lubrication system is available as an optional

Upper covering of conveyor belt available in several versions.

Over time Lanfranchi has developed optimised software for the management of flows dedicated to every type of container. The Lanfranchi Engineering Team designs automatic lines optimisedfor every need.

Elevator or lowerator

Thanks to the elevator or lowerator, the containers are conveyed with considerable changes in height, reducing the footprint to a minimum. According to the physical and morphological nature of the containers, Lanfranchi offers a broad range of elevators and lowerators:

Pad gripper elevators/lowerators

Aspirated/pneumatic elevators/lowerators

Magnetic elevators/lowerators

Helical elevators/lowerators

Steep ramp elevators/lowerators

Over time Lanfranchi has developed optimised software for the management of flows dedicated to every type of container. The Lanfranchi Engineering Team designs automatic lines optimised for every need.

Conveyor belts for bundles and cases

Lanfranchi conveyor belts for bundles and cases are built based on what product needs to be handled. The robust main structure of the conveyor belt is stainless steel.

Conceived with the model of modularity, they are easy to install and easy to connect to the machines that comprise the production line.

Single line or multi line, they have side guides that can be adjusted manually or automatically.

On the same line, based on what product is being handled, different types of conveyor belts can be used, which are installed ensuring that the transfer from one to the other is fluid, that no jams or damage occur to the product.

Roller conveyor belts

Lanfranchi builds different types of conveyor belts based on what product is being handled.

The range of Lanfranchi products includes different types of roller conveyor. For each type of roller conveyor, the drive chains are completely protected to ensure the maximum safety of the line operators. The curved sections are built with reduced-pitch conical rollers to optimise product transport. Roller-conveyor motorisation depends on the type of pallet being handled: empty or loaded.

The side containment guides are manually adjusted and include idle roller inserts.

Lanfranchi engineering designs complex systems that can feed one or more palletisers, starting from the single centralised pallet storage unit.

Dynamic accumulation table

According to the characteristics of the product being handled, Lanfranchi offers a broad range of accumulation tables. The design takes into account system needs and Customer specifications. The following types of accumulation tables are available:

no-pressure multi-row FIFO

standard FIFO

two-way

Rotary tables

No pressure multi-row “FIFO” accumulation table

Robust aisi 304 stainless steel structure, this accumulation table is inserted into systems requiring the accumulation of containers due to failed product evacuation downstream.

Project developed in-house at Lanfranchi, this accumulation table makes it possible to accumulate particularly delicate products on multi-row conveyors, eliminating any pressure between them and strictly maintaining the FIFO logic.

The containers flow freely during normal production. When a slowdown happens, the containers start accumulating on the multi-lane conveyor without pressing against each other. This application is particularly suited for delicate and costly products.

Standard “FIFO” accumulation table

Robust aisi 304 stainless steel structure, this accumulation table is inserted into systems requiring the accumulation of containers due to failed container evacuation downstream.

A consolidated Lanfranchi project, this accumulation table makes it possible to accumulate every type of product on multi-row conveyors, thereby reducing the pressure between them to a minimum through the intelligent synchronisation of the chains that travel at different speeds. This accumulation table also maintains the FIFO logic.

The containers flow freely during normal production. When a slow-down happens, the containers start accumulating on the accumulation table, lining up with the aid of specific guides.

Two-way accumulation table

Robust aisi 304 stainless steel structure, this solution is helpful when the product temporarily stops flowing and temporary container storage is necessary.

When the blockage happens, the programmed guide deviates the containers from the main conveyor on the two-way accumulation table.

The reverse happens when the downstream blockage is resolved and the containers are sent from the accumulation table to the main conveyor belt. The accumulation logic in the case is LIFO and accumulation occurs randomly.

Rotary table accumulation system

With a sturdy aisi 304 stainless steel structure, the rotary accumulation table is composed of a steel disc, which rotates by a gearmotor complete with variator, to synchronise rotation speed with feed belt speed.

The containers are deviated onto the rotary table positioned next to the conveyor by a guide.
Special attention is focused on the construction of containment edges so that they do not produce any damage to containers and/or labels.
