Pipe Handling

Features

Conveyors- The Brandt Conveyor uses v-rolls to convey pipe along its length, turning rolls rotate the pipe to allow for inspection while kick-out blades are used to laterally transport pipe to another process.

Urethane v-rolls are standard equipment, where steel v-rolls are required to handle hot pipe through certain areas. Let down blades are draw road style and index one pipe at a time onto the conveyor. They can be lined with either UHMW or Steel, depending on the application. Kick outs can be either draw rod style or lateral if the fair end is to be critically maintained. Star Wheel or Rotary kick outs are utilized to move hot product off v-rolls and onto drag chains. Rotary kick outs can also be used in areas such as post coating where gentle handling is a major concern.

Drag Chain Cooling Table- The Drag Chain cooling bed is designed to both transfer and cool down product from approximately 1000F to 300F while slowly moving pipes laterally to the next process. Counter rotation chains can be added to make the pipe rotate faster around its axis to reduce sag of the pipe and to make cooling more even.

The Drag Chain is suitable for moving heavy materials in severe condition such as high load, high temperature, and high humidity. The robust chains and sprockets make it a very common means of transportation with high reliability and low maintenance. Chain speeds can be adjusted through VFD to match the production rate.

Special End Area System - Drag Chains move product laterally through customer supplied inspection booths. Speed can be adjusted through VFD to match the production rate. Pop up V-rolls and turning rolls move and rotate the pipe into and out of the booths in order to accomplish the end test efficiently.
