The Link-Turn-Conveyor type GL79 and the wider version type GL99 is a ring-shaped endless chain conveyor that can be used as baggage reclaim race track and also as sorting race track.
The systems can be clad with stainless steel or steel plates with a lacquer coating (the colour is chosen by the client).
The conveying surface consists of rubberized steel plates that endure a high load. Due to this high loading capacity of 100 kg/m resp. 150 kg/m for the GL99 they are very popular with our clients.
Due to the unitized construction principle of the GL79/GL99 it is possible to adapt the race track to the system's surroundings. The cladding sheets fixed on the welded steel underframes can be exchanged at any time. The very robust frame elements with their screw-adjustable feet can be adapted to possible reliefs of the floor.
The drive unit is a long wearing, silent and maintenance-free drag chain drive.
An electric soft starting device is integrated in the control unit in order to enable the system to start without jerking.
The conveyor chain is a curve-going conveying chain out of flat steel with a chain pitch of 508 mm resp. 609 mm for the GL99. The built-in guide rollers consist of a noise silencing plastic, and the bearings are permanently lubricated and maintenance-free.
Unlike the racetrack types having PVC or rubber slats as conveying surface the race track types GL79 and GL99 by SRK do not offer the possibility of interfering with running systems. Due to the crescent-shaped rubberized steel plates as bearing surface the entire system is absolutely closed so that the access of unauthorized persons is impossible. This demand is becoming more and more important for our clients throughout the world, as the inside of racetrack systems with flexible bearing slats has already been used as a hiding place for drugs, etc.
Accessories like coverings for interiors, bump protectors, operation control device etc. can be delivered without any problems.
