Standard Features
Automatic Belt Tensioner (LT Series) a factory calibrated, spring-loaded
system designed to keep optimum belt tension regardless of conveyor
angle. Because the belt will not need to be manually adjusted, belts will
last longer and changeover downtime is minimized. By keeping proper
belt tension, bearing and motor life is extended. This system also prevents
belt slippage.

Automatic Belt Tensioner

Adjustable Legs

Perforated zinc plated steel legs with 2C\," dia. swivel

castors. (2) locking & (2) non-locking with a sliding sleeve height
adjustment, screw knob fastener & positioning pin for quick and simple
height adjustment without tools. The standard range of height adjustment
is 13" to 37" (floor to belt). Alternate leg heights are available upon request.

Adjustable Legs

Adjustable Angle Easy 0-45 angle adjustment using ratcheting handles


to lock the conveyor in the desired position without the use of tools. This
feature significantly reduces application change time.

Quick Adjusting Angle

V-Guided Belt Tracking

For proper positioning and tracking of the belt,

preventing premature wear. Belts with a V-guide stay centered and do not
wear along the edges. This will prolong the life of your belt and reduce
costly replacements, maintenance, and downtime.

LI Series - Incline Conveyors


Lengths: 5' to 30'
Belt Widths: 4" to 60"
Manufactured to the same exacting standards as the L conveyors, the LI series offers
the flexibility of an adjustable angle from 0 to 45. The adjustment is made without
tools for a simplified setup. Crizaf utilizes an endless, 2-ply, textured non-slip PVC belt
as standard on incline conveyors. The pattern of the textured surface prevents plastic
parts from slipping on the belt and assures positive movement of your parts from the
infeed to the discharge end of the conveyor even at angles as steep as 45. A cleated
belt can be added as an option for tumble-prone parts.

LSE Series - Incline Conveyors


Lengths: 45", 59" and 78"
Belt Widths: 11" and 15"
The LSE (Lightweight, Simple, & Economical) series is functionally designed for under the press parts conveying for
injection molding machines below 300 tons clamping force.
Generally, machines in this range have limited space underneath the platens. Therefore, a streamlined conveyor with a
concealed motor and drive package and an infeed hopper to
catch parts as they fall, is the right choice. The support stand
is intentionally designed to be placed on the floor outside of
the machine frame for application versatility.
Small parts sometimes can pose a problem with belt conveyors. Typically, they become lodged between the side rail
and the belt causing premature failure of the belt. Crizaf incorporates extra skirting along the rails of the LSE conveyor
so small parts are conveyed hassle free and do not get stuck
in process. This standard feature reduces downtime related
to premature belt wear.

Standard, 8" tall, three sided tapered infeed hoppers are an excellent choice for under press applications. This hopper extends the length
of the horizontal section, providing excellent parts containment.

Under press conveyor with 3 sided hopper.

Optional, 8" tall, two sided aluminum infeed hoppers


are ideal for beside the press applications. A low, third
side allows the conveyor to be pushed up against
or positioned slightly under an under press
chute or another conveyor.

Beside the press conveyor with 2 sided hopper.

Specialty Hoppers

The extra tall sides on this containment hopper allow


it to hold a large volume of parts. This type of
configuration is an excellent choice when
parts need to be fed or metered into
bowl feeders, part separators, etc.

Hopper Options

Chute Options

Angled extensions cover


corrugated belting in the
infeed area.

This under press hopper has angled extensions on the lower edge of the hopper sides
to cover the corrugated belting. This prevents
parts from falling between the corrugations
and the sides of the conveyor.

In addition to an adjustable angle, the distance


between the conveyor and this stainless steel
chute can also be adjusted.

Optional Motor Mount Positions

Standard Motor Mount

The standard motor mount for LT conveyors is inside the conveyor frame under the
angle section. The motor is protected by
the conveyor frame, yet it can still be easily
accessed when needed.

LT Conveyors motors can also be mounted at the


infeed area, directly behind the drive mechanism. Because this mounting position requires only a very
short drive chain, it is an excellent choice for conveyors with long infeed areas. Note: When combined infeed
and discharge lengths exceeds 10', LT conveyors are
equipped with a 100mm diameter infeed roller.

Direct Drive

Crizaf's optional direct drive system is also an


excellent choice for conveyors with long infeed
areas. The direct drive drive motor and reducer
require less maintenance because there are no
chains to oil, covers to remove or sprockets to
wear out.

Stainless steel rollers
ATS separators are a versatile, functional, and economic
means of part/runner separation. The design of the ATS
separator takes into consideration all variable factors that
affect separation such as cycle time, speed, gap and
process angle, isolates them, and makes them definable
by the operator. Heres how:
Separation Gap, or the discriminating distance between
rollers, plays a large part in proper separation. It has to be
easily adjusted to fine tune or change application set ups.
That is why Crizaf introduced and patented the single point
roller adjustment. All ten separation gaps are equally
spaced and set by a single control screw, significantly
reducing set up time.
Cycle time can affect separation because if too many parts
and runners are in the process at one time, they can
interfere with each other and prevent proper separation.
The ATS has a special metering section at the beginning
of the drum to ensure all parts and runners flow through
the process without interference and utilize the separation
drums entire length. Because of this metering section,
the separation process is continuous and consistent.
Speed The rate at which the drum rotates can have an
effect on the success rate of separation. Therefore, the
34

Model ATS - 1000

Crizaf ATS drum separator has a variable speed drive to fine


tune and optimize the product flow and separation.
Angle Most separation devices utilize gravity as part of
their means of parts separation. The degree of angle that
the parts and runners cascade through the process can
greatly influence proper separation. To help benefit from
the use of gravity, the ATS separator has an adjustment
that can change the angle of decline further ensuring
maximum separation.

Perforated Drum Separators cont'd

Individual drums can be custom configured to meet a


wide range of application needs.

Specialty Drum Separators


This popular design has tubes welded to the outside of each
hole. It is an excellent choice for applications with sprue/
runner systems that tend to slip through simple round holes
and pivot, wedging them into the hole.The tubes prevent
the sprues and runners from pivoting, allowing them to easily pass through the system.

In some applications, sprues and runners tend to settle to the


bottom of the drum, preventing the round parts from passing
through the holes. This drum has small pegs attached to the
inside of the drum to pick up and tumble sprues and runners that
settle on the bottom.

For very difficult to separate applications or for family molds that


have several different styles of parts, it may sometimes be necessary to use more than one type of separation. This application
separates large and round parts in the drum separator. A fully
enclosed chute feeds them into a rotating drum separator that
further separates the remaining parts.

Inline Box Loading Systems

By Count or by Weight
Crizaf Box Filling Systems can be configured to fill a wide range of application
needs. Parts can be filled using a cycle count, a robot signal, a Weigh Scale signal
or Weigh Scale Hopper count. Options such as Quality Control parts removal,
multi-level storage systems or clean room enclosures allow Crizaf Automated Box
Loading Systems to be customized to suit specific application needs. Following
are examples of typical layouts and designs.

Feeding conveyor.

Planning a typical Inline system


Inline systems typically consist of 4 parts:
1. Empty box conveyor. Empty boxes are
loaded onto the conveyor and
Filling conveyor.
automatically indexed to the fill position.
This conveyor is often sized, according to
how long the system will be left
unattended.
2. Parts feeding conveyor. Typically a
horizontal to incline conveyor, this
conveyor brings parts from under the
molding machine and feeds them into the boxes. To
prevent spillage when the box indexes, the feeding
conveyor is momentarily stopped while the filled box moves to the
storage conveyor and the next empty box moves into place.
3. Full box (storage) conveyor. Often a gravity roller conveyor, the full
box conveyor stores the full boxes for pick up.
4. Filling Station and Controls. The operation of the control system
is determined by the fill method chosen. Fill methods include cycle
count, robot count, Weigh Scale signal or Weigh Scale Hopper
signal. Inline system controls can often be configured to operate
from either a machine count or a weigh scale signal.

Scale platform

Empty box conveyor.

Sequence of Operation:
An empty box is indexed to the fill position.
The box is filled by a feeding conveyor, using either a machine
cycle count or a weigh-scale signal.
When the box is full, the control system signals the feeding
conveyor to momentarily stop.
Weigh scale systems slow down the feeding conveyor to
dribble the finished product into the container for an accurate
part count.
The indexing conveyor moves the filled box to the storage
conveyor.
The next empty box moves to the fill position.
The controller restarts the feeding conveyor.

38

Call Today 800-452-5317

This Inline system works almost like the Side by


Side system except it does not need a sweep
arm to move the filled boxes onto the storage
conveyor. Once the box is filled, the Weigh Scale
conveyor platform activates, moving the filled
box to the roller storage conveyor.

Box Filling - by weight


These automated side by side, Weigh Scale systems provide hours
of box filling, yet require only minimal operator assistance.

which indexes them to the weigh-scale platform.
Parts are fed into the container. When the pre
programmed weight is met, the system
momentarily stops the feeding conveyor.
A dribble speed feature allows the feeding conveyor
to slow down to accurately reach the desired weight
in the box.
A sweep arm moves the container off of the platform
onto a roller storage conveyor.
The next empty box indexes into position and the
feeding conveyor restarts.
The system can be programmed to either signal an
operator or shut down the molding machine when
the last empty box is in position.

Model WH - Weigh Filling System


Hopper.

The Crizaf Weigh Scale Hopper is an excellent way to accurately fill


parts by weight into boxes or bags. It can be used with almost any
type of indexing system, including: In-line systems, Carousels systems and Multi-level storage systems.

ADVANTAGES
Accurate - Because the Weigh Scale Hopper weighs in small

batches, it can achieve a much greater level of accuracy* than


traditional platform style weigh systems, that must weigh the
container, the weigh scale platform and the total number of parts.
*The Weigh Scale Hopper can achieve accuracy to within 0.5
grams - however, the final degree of accuracy will depend upon a
number of application factors, including the size of the parts,
number of parts on the final cleat, feeding conveyor speed, etc.
Fast - The Weigh Scale Hopper does not have to stop filling while
a new box is moved into the fill position.
Flexible - The Weigh Scale Hopper can be used with almost any
box or bag filling system. It can also be used with existing cycle
count systems - simply slide it into place and the system becomes
a weigh scale system.
Space Saving - The Weigh Scale Hopper does not require a
separate fill position.
Economical - The Weigh Scale Hopper costs less than traditional
weigh scale systems.

Specifications

Controller with multiple


programmable set
points.

Easy to adjust leg sets.

How does it work?

The Weigh Hopper is positioned over the container.


Parts are fed into the hopper by a feeding conveyor.
When the preset batch weight is met, the controller
momentarily stops the feeding conveyor and drops
the batch into the container.
The process continues until the total container weight
is met.
The controller then signals the indexing unit to move
the next container into position.

Solid, industrial steel, C frame construction, formed and painted,


with 2.3" dia. castors & leveling pads. Note: the leveling pads allow
secure positioning of the unit for maximum weight accuracy.
16 gauge stainless steel parts accumulator with pneumatically
driven discharge gate.
Hopper volume: standard sizes are 6"x6"x6", 8"x8"x8" and
10"x10"x10". Other sizes available upon request.
Standard load cell is 10Kg. Larger sizes are available depending
upon application needs. Load cells are mounted to the side of the
parts accumulator.
Unit is adjustable in height - no tools needed.
Load cell indicator - includes multiple setpoint features i.e.dribble
weight, fast weight, etc.
When combining the Weigh Hopper unit with any cycle count box
filling system, it converts into a box filling system by weight.
A simple plug and play system allows the Crizaf Weigh Scale
Hopper to be easily integrated with any Crizaf Carousel or In
line indexing system.

Flip flop diverter.

Chute.

The Weigh Scale Hopper is a great choice when large


containers, gaylords, etc. need to be accurately filled.
Unlike Cycle-count systems, that can easily come
up short due to bad shots or machine interruptions,
the Weigh Scale Hopper counts only the parts that
are actually filled into the containers. And, because
it weighs in small batches, it can achieve a much
higher level of accuracy than platform style weigh
systems, which must weigh the container, the platform and the total number of parts.

This Weigh Scale Hopper is suspended above 2 large gaylords. Parts are
weighed and then filled into a flip flop diverter which feeds them into the
first gaylord. When the total weight has been filled, the diverter flips and
parts are fed into the second container. A double load cell allows the hopper to handle a larger load than a standard single load cell.

can be attached to the platform if desired, to provide custom
positioning. Bag holders (in triangle, trapezoid, or ring
shapes) are custom designed, to allow the maximum number
of bags on a platform.

Carousel type CS (for bags)

The Crizaf Carousel can be easily combined with a Crizaf


feeding conveyor to form an efficient, cost effective box or
bag filling system. A second level of bag holders (CS-D) or
box holders (CC-D) can be added to double the capacity.

Operation Notes

A momentary 24VDC signal or dry contact from the mold or


production machine is required to count the product (cycles).
The carousel automatically rotates to the next station when
the pre-set number of parts (cycle counts) is reached.
While the feeding conveyor is stopped during the indexing
motion of the platform, the counter accepts incoming signals
(counts) for the new empty container.
A visual & acoustic alarm is engaged when the last empty
container is in the filling position.

Carousel type CC (for boxes)

Features

Rack and pinion drive guarantees a precise indexing motion.


3" dia. swivel castors with brakes allow easy mobility and
secure positioning.
The controller allows presets for:
Number of parts/cycles in container.
Number of boxes/bags on platform.
Alarm settings.
Programmable delay for feeding conveyor.
Dry contact closure for upstream equipment when all
containers are filled, i.e. during lights out operation.

Carousel type CC-D

Indexing Carousels for Box and Bag Filling


Optional features allowed each of these cost effective, automation cells to be customized to meet specific application needs.

Standard Operation:

Alignment brackets - ensure that totes


are in the correct fill position.

Parts fall out of the molding machine onto an underpress


conveyor. The conveyor feeds them into totes located on on
the Carousel platform.
With each cycle, the molding machine sends a count signal
to the Carousel control unit.
When the pre-programmed fill count has been met, the
Carousel controller stops the feeding conveyor and indexes
the next empty tote into the fill position.
The cycle repeats until the last tote is filled.
When the last tote is in the fill position the controller signals
the alarm to sound and flash.
If the system is not refilled, the controller signals the machine
to shut down or stand-by.

A covered chute at the end of this feeding conveyor


prevents spillage as parts are fed into the boxes.
Triangular chutes funnel parts into the lower boxes.

Carousel type CS-D


Diverting Unit.

This multi level bag-filling Carousel uses a pneumatically driven


chute to direct parts to the correct level (optional).

How does it work?

Parts are fed into the diverting unit which feeds them into bags on
the lower level.
When all of the lower level bags are filled, the diverter flips to the
second position, which diverts the parts to the upper level bags.
At a pre-determined point in the cycle (ie. last bag filling, last bag
full etc.), the unit will either signal an operator to refill or send a
signal to the molding machine to shut down.
A pneumatic driven chute directs the parts
into the different levels (optional).

4-Station, Parts-Diverting System


Provides Extended, Unattended Box-Filling for Large Containers or Gaylords.
Fills Containers a Section at a Time to Allow Time Between for Cooling.
When very large containers need to be filled, or when
containers need to be filled a section at a time to allow parts
time to cool and stabilize before more parts are placed on top,
this 4-station parts diverting system could be an excellent
choice in lieu of a traditional box-filling system.

Station 3

How does it work?


The unit is designed to operate on a cycle count
signal from the injection mold machine. Pneumatic
driven diverters channel parts into containers placed
beneath each diverting station.
Parts are fed onto the conveyor.
The first diverter is opened and diverts a predetermined cycle-count into the first box.
Once that count is met, the diverter is closed and
the second diverter is opened.
Parts move to the second diverter and are channeled
into the second box.
The 3rd and 4th boxes are then filled (the final fillstation is at the end of the conveyor).
After the 4th box is filled the cycle repeats as many
times as necessary to fill each container.
Note: Since the control system uses a PLC, other
sequences can easily be programmed to fit your
application.

Custom Application for Long Molding Cycles

Overview
Because of a long molding cycle time, this system was designed to
allow parts to accumulate on the belt - freeing the operator to attend to
other duties.
The system was specifically designed to transport long and narrow
parts with 4 back-side protrusions. It was crucial that the protrusions
not be damaged.

Basic application design


The application consists of 2, separately powered conveyors sharing a common
idle shaft.
One conveyor has 4 separate belts, the other 5 belts. The protrusions on the back
side of the parts are able to safely hang between the belts.
Overlapping pulleys allow parts to be transferred smoothly from one conveyor to
the other without being dropped as they pass from one to the other.

Custom Application for Long Molding Cycles cont'd


How does it work?
A robot places parts on the 1st conveyor. The belt indexes
forward. The 2nd conveyor remains idle.
The robot continues to place parts until the entire 1st
conveyor is filled. When the parts reach the discharge
end, a photo eye signals an alarm to sound.
When the alarm sounds, the operator pushes a button to
activate both of the conveyors to run in a continuous
mode. This transfers the parts from the first conveyor to
the second conveyor.
Once the parts are transfered, the 1st belt automatically
reverts to the index mode.
A photo eye at the end of the 2nd conveyor allows the
operator to remove one part at a time. As a part is removed,
the conveyor indexes the next part forward.
Once all of the parts are removed, the operator can return
to other duties until the 1st conveyor is full again.

Smooth Parts Transfer Between Conveyors

A unique single shaft design allows long narrow


parts with back-side protrusions to be smoothly
transferred from one conveyor to the other.

Space Saving Mounting Position for Take-away Conveyor


Conveyors can be mounted in a variety of ways. Because there was very little
available floor space around this robotic application, it was decided to mount
the take away conveyor on top of the molding machine rather than next to it.

Double Benefits

The solution has double benefits - in addition to saving


floor space, the down stroke and the horizontal stroke
of the robot have been kept to a minimum, allowing
the robot and the molding machine to work at maximum
speeds.

How does it work?

Operation is simple. The parts are removed by a robot


and placed onto the conveyor. The conveyor moves
the parts across the top of the machine, down the back
and into a chute.

Handle makes angle adjustments easy requires no tools.


Flexible cover allows the angle of
decline to be easily changed.

Covered enclosure protects parts from dirt and


dust - cooling could be easily added if desired.

Metal Detection - Flat Bed Detector


The Crizaf flat bed metal detector is an excellent choice for detecting metal (both ferrous and nonferrous) that rides either directly on, or very close to the conveyor belt. While the actual detection
distance above the belt will vary according to the type of metal being detected and the size of the
part, the accuracy of the system generally decreases as the distance from the belt increases. For
this reason, it may not be the best choice for types of applications in
which metal parts may be suspended above the belt.
A flat bed detector can also be very effective in detecting metal embedded
in plastic parts as long as the parts profile is low enough to consistently
allow any embedded metal to ride close to or on the belt surface.

Flat bed metal


detector.

While the unit is most commonly incorporated into the feeding conveyor
of scrap granulators, it can also provide an added measure of security for
almost any type of conveying or box-packing application in which metal,
or parts with embedded metal need to be detected.

Operation and mechanics


When metal is detected, the unit will stop the conveyor and signal an operator
through a visual and audible alarm. Once the metal is removed, the operator
resets the system to restart the conveyor. Note: Options are available which
will divert the metal out of the system, eliminating the need for an operator
to monitor and restart the system.
Each Crizaf flat bed metal detecting unit consists of two parts.The first
part is a compact detection coil which fits directly below the conveyor
belt, scanning material as it passes over the detection field. The second part is a compact NEMA 4
enclosure that houses simple to use, single board electronic controls, that allow the system to be
fine tuned to alter the sensitivity of the detection field.This type of control system allows the
detection perimeters to be easily reconfigured to meet the varying needs of different applications.

Sensitivity
This graph represents the test results on a Crizaf flat
bed metal detector.
In the first test we used various sized Stainless Steel
nuts. In the second test we used Stainless Steel Ball
Bearings. Each bar represents the maximum distance
from the coil surface at which the parts could still be
detected.

Note: The test was performed with Stainless Steel,

because it is more difficult to detect than regular steel.

Metal Detection - Aperture Style Detector


The Crizaf aperture style metal detector is a closed loop system that wraps completely
around the conveyor belt, and detects any metal (ferrous and non-ferrous), both on and
above the belt surface, that passes through the loop. In addition to detecting loose metal,
it will also detect metal that is embedded anywhere within a plastic part.
Depending upon the height of the aperture opening and the type of metal, this type of
system is capable of detecting even minute metal contamination, making it
the number one choice when extremely accurate metal detection is essential
(see sensitivity graph below).
An aperture style metal detector is an effective means of protecting almost any
type of machinery that may be damaged by metal parts or pieces, including
granulators, mills, shears or crushers. It can also be used with almost any type
of conveying or box-packing application that may require metal, or parts with
metal to be identified (or diverted*) before being moved to the next process.
Placed prior to the feeding unit of an injection molding machine, it can protect
both the injection molding machine and the mold from damage due to metal
contamination often found in regrind or in virgin resins.

Aperture Style Detector

Operation and mechanics


When metal is detected, the unit will stop the conveyor and signal an operator
through a visual and audible alarm. Once the metal is removed, the operator resets the alarm
to restart the conveyor. Note: *Options are available which will divert the metal out of the

system, eliminating the need for an operator to monitor and restart the system..

The unit is integrated into a non-metallic frame section of the conveyor and wraps completely
around the conveyor belt. Note: Because of the weight of this unit, it can only be installed
in Crizaf Heavy Duty (LH or LIH) conveyor models. For ease of operation, all basic adjustments
can be made at the front panel. Control features include self-monitoring electronics, noise
suppression and temperature compensation.

The test was performed with


ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless
steel to represent the wide range
of metals that can be detected.

Innovating Application Ideas with Box Filling Systems

Increase production without increasing labor requirements


Options allow Crizaf multi-level box-filling systems to be
individually configured to meet a wide range of box-filling, storage
or special application needs.
The fill cycle can be determined by either a cycle count or a
weigh scale.
To provide precise positioning for robotic box-filling, a boxstopper or pneumatic positioning bars can be added to the
fill-position conveyor.
Adjustable side rails can be added to provide additional
flexibility in box size.
LexanTM enclosures, to provide additional safety or cleanliness,
can be added to completely enclose the lifting area or a robot.
An adjustable, pneumatically operated chute can be added at
the feed station to assure that containers are accurately filled.
Over/Under box filling system by cycle count
for tight space requirements.
Special enclosure added to a box filling system for
reduced exposure to the plant environment.
