🔧 Puck Conveyor – ระบบลำเลียงพัคก์ (Puck Conveyor)
A Puck Conveyor is a specialized conveyor system designed to transport small, often round or irregularly shaped products securely and precisely. It uses small circular carriers called “pucks” attached to a chain or belt, holding items firmly in place during movement, ideal for automation lines requiring product stability.
✅ Key Features
- 🟠 Puck carriers firmly hold items, preventing slipping or rolling
- 🔄 Positive indexing for accurate product positioning
- ⚙️ Chain or belt-driven for controlled speed and synchronization
- 🧱 Modular design allows easy replacement or reconfiguration
- 🧼 Suitable for clean or controlled environments (food, pharma, electronics)
- 🔗 Can handle curved, inclined, or declined conveyors
🧩 Typical Applications
| Industry | Use Case |
|---|---|
| 🍾 Beverage | Bottles, cans, jars handling |
| 🍫 Food | Small packages, confectionery |
| 💊 Pharmaceutical | Vials, ampoules, blister packs |
| 🧴 Cosmetics | Small bottles, tubes |
| 🛠 Manufacturing | Small parts, assemblies |
📐 Design Considerations
- Puck size & shape: must match product size for secure holding
- Pitch: distance between pucks impacts throughput and spacing
- Material: often made from durable plastic or stainless steel
- Drive system: chain, belt, or combination for smooth motion
- Layout: straight runs, curves, lifts, or indexing tables
🏭 Advantages
- Prevents product damage by secure handling
- High accuracy in product spacing and timing
- Reduces product changeover time with modular pucks
- Adaptable to various product sizes and shapes
The Puck Conveyor is ideal for a variety of applications. with small and fragile products The product ranges handled include batteries, contact lenses, electrical switches, LED lights, insulin pens, light bulbs, lipsticks, mechatronics such as for automobiles, medical devices, optical lenses, perfumes and syringes.
