Rules Of Thumb For Wedge Units Rules Of Thumb For Wedge Units
Wedge conveyors must be equipped with a variable frequency drive (VFD) with soft start/stop capability. The VFD can be customer supplied or provided by Span Tech.If your incoming product does not meet the minimum gap requirements, you may increase the velocity of the Wedge Unit to pull the needed gap. Use the basic formula below to find the necessary velocity of the Wedge Unit.Vw = Vo (L + Gapmin / L + Gapi )Vw = Desired velocity of Wedge unit (FPM)Vo = Initial velocity of incoming conveyor (FPM)Gapmin = minimum gap requiredGapi = initial product gapStandard Chain Widths/Center Line Radius:6.13 - 21 in.7.31 - 22.81 in.8.49 - 26.49 in.9.67 - 30.45 in.10.85 - 33.85 in.Recommended Product Height Restrictions:6.13 - 2.0 - 6.9 in.7.31 - 7.0 - 11.9 in.8.49 - 12.0 - 16.9 in.9.67 - 17.0 - 21.9 in.10.85 - 22.0 - 24.0 in.The spacing between products (gap) is critical to the layout of the Wedge Unit. If the gap is too small, products could contact and interfere with each other through the curves. Use the following formula to determine the minimum gap for your product.Gapmin = (L+1) /(2R/H) -1R=Radius of Curve (referenced above)H=Height of productL=Length of productGapmin=Minimum gap required for your product
