- Choice of pusher or tilting to discharge cage
- Choice of manual or electrical operation
- High-precision Eaton HTLS 2000 to 10,000 series motors with balanced disc-valve and geroler mechanism are implemented for transfer carriage travel and pusher respectively.
- Geroler mechanism provides high torque at low speed, minimizes friction and hence increase efficiency (torque rating up to 2700 Nm)
- It also provides smooth operation, especially at low speeds and can be changed instantly with equal torque in either direction.
Function:
- To transfer FFB cages from one rail track to another rail track
Drive:
The hydraulic system shall consists of an electrically driven power pack of 11KW motor operationg (3) three sets of control valves to carry out the following functions
1. Forward and Reverse travesing of Carriage
Two high torgue low speed hydraulic motors, mounted on at each end of the carriage to provide two wheel traction
2. Track alignment & Latching of carriage
Two horizontally mounted hydraulic cylinders each operates a pair of latches to provide final alignment and latching of carriage
3. Discharging of Fruit Cages
One high torgue low speed hydraulic motor drive an undertow conveyor chain mounted with pushers to push the cages onto and off the carriage.
