A linear motor uses electromagnets to achieve its motion. The electromagnets switch ON and OFF at the required polarity to drive in the desired direction. In addition to the normal mode of moving product from one end of the line to another, the tna roflo®HM3 offers dynamic lane reconfiguration.
Two variations of the roflo®HM3:
Lifter
This can raise the pan out of the way of the line, and
Switcheroo
This can alter the tilt of the pan to send the product in either direction.
To move product from one end of the line to another, the tna roflo®HM3 has the following options:
• Standard feed,
• Individual feed,
• Call stack,
• Call stack multi and
• Accumulation.
The tna roflo®HM3 distribution system offers product reversibility on one line using the Switcheroo with Lifter base. This means that when there is a product in-feed on both ends of the line, a Cross Feeder can run either product.
