Modular Beds for Conveyor Protection
ASGCO Manufacturing’s modular impact
beds, the newest in their line of load
zone support systems, are designed to
provide impact protection for conveyor
belts as well as a tool to help control
spillage in the conveyor-loading zone.
The system consists of multiple 18-in.-
long x belt-width units that are closely
fitted to form the bed length needed. The
supplier says its impact bars allow the
tightest segment fit in the industry, eliminating
potential material from getting
caught in between the bars. They are
designed for easy change out and maintenance
by simply loosening two bolts
per segment to remove the center portion
of the bed from either side of the conveyor.
Installation is a simple process
that involves: bolting the cross-frame into
conveyor sliding the center section into
center of cross-frame; sliding two wing
frames into each side; and bolting or pinning
in place.
ASGCO provides super absorbent ORG
rubber that is 1-in. thick with a 40
durometer rating. All impact beds have
two 3-in. channel cross support members
for superior resistance against impact.
Multiple 18-in. beds can be assembled
to make 36-, 54-, 72-in. and larger units.
Wings are fabricated to match any
troughing angle. The beds are also available
with steel or impact rolls as an
option or with a center module fabricated
to include rollers.
