Features of Stock Impact Beds

• Absorbs Impacts – Impact Beds are designed with heavy-duty C channel steel framework and the impact bars are manufactured using 's approved specification for 1" UHMW capped bar that absorbs the shock of heavy loads.

• 1" UHMW capped bar provides longer life. The UHMW has a low coefficient of friction reducing drag

• Integrated Design – Standard Impact Beds are 4' in length. Impact Beds are available in 2', 3', or 5' long as made-to-order.

• Standard Models – Impact Beds are adjustable to 20° or 35° and can be laid flat if needed. 45° Impact Beds are available as made-to-order.

Fully Supported with Impact Beds Impact Beds support the entire width of the belt.

's design ensures there are no unsupported areas.

Impact Beds are engineered to provide protection to your conveyor belt due to impact damage from bulk materials being loaded onto the belt. Loading damage to the belt could affect the continuous running of your conveyor. Impact Beds are engineered to provide impact protection and to reduce spillage in the conveyor loading zone.

Uses of Impact Beds• The transfer point of the conveyor

system is integrally important to the successful operation of the belt conveyor. The material being transferred from one conveyor (or other source) to another conveyor needs to be done without damaging the conveyor belt. The correctly selected Impact Bed is critical for this task.

• Material (lump) size, weight and drop height can cause considerable impact force that damages the conveyor belt. The proper Impact Bed needs to be chosen to absorb the impact energy and minimize any damage.

• Impact Beds allow skirting down against a solid bar potentially reducing material spillage.

• Proper Impact Bed Selection Requirements:

» Belt Width

» Troughing Angle

» Roller Diameter and CEMA Rating (typically 5" or 6" and CEMA C, D, and E)

» Bed Length – Standard is 4' and Special Lengths are available as MTO

» Drop Height, Lump Size, and Weight – Critical information
