PowerFlex15 Powered Conveyor: Unmatched Flexibility and Productivity

The PowerFlex15 powered roller conveyor is designed to optimise efficiency in shipping, transportation, and packaging applications where flexibility and space-saving solutions are essential. With its innovative design, this conveyor retracts to minimise storage space and can service multiple docking doors, ensuring maximum productivity in fast-paced environments.

Whether you’re moving packages of various sizes or need to adjust speed, PowerFlex15 delivers with ease. Featuring 40mm diameter rollers and capable of handling loads of up to 150kg per linear meter, it’s built for power and performance. The quick-change drive belt system reduces maintenance downtime, enhancing durability and keeping operations running smoothly.

PowerFlex15 is more than just a conveyor – it’s a robust, reliable solution designed to adapt to nearly any operational need. Thanks to integrated handles and its intuitive design, the conveyor can be easily contorted to fit diverse work environments. Featuring braked castors, a 240V power supply, and secure latching connections, PowerFlex15 is as user-friendly as it is versatile.

Introducing PowerFlex SmartFlow: Intelligent Flow Control at Your Fingertips

Take your operations to the next level with the PowerFlex SmartFlow option, designed for enhanced control and flexibility. SmartFlow enables seamless switching between multiple flow modes, offering 5 distinct control options within one conveyor. The SmartFlow selector switch is conveniently mounted on the unit’s self-contained control box, allowing quick adjustments on the go. This makes it easy to set the conveyor’s functionality to your specific needs—whether you’re handling varying package sizes, distances, or speeds.

Features

Continuous Duty Multiple Drive Motors

Line speed is adjustable from 0 to 36 metres per minute. Start/stop controls at both ends.

Self Tracking

Cartons follow the twists and turns of the conveyor path without using engineered curves.

Adjustable Height

Telescopic legs to raise or lower the conveyor bed height.

Square Tubing Legs

Heavy-duty square tubing legs offer longer service life and stability.

40mm Rollers

Heavy-duty precision bearing rollers on 12mm axles for greater durability.

40mm Side Plate

Aluminium alloy construction features a ribbed design for added strength. Assembled with bolts and locking nuts.

Castors with Brakes

150mm x 50mm Swivel Castors allow easy movement. Castor brakes lock both wheels and swivel simultaneously while the conveyor is in use.

Performance Options

Optical Electric Flow Control

Incorporates photo electronics to provide automated flow control giving the user improved ergonomics, reduced labour cost, and improved service life. With options of using diffuse scan, retro-reflective or through-beam sensors, all product shapes and materials can be detected and controlled easily.

Axle Centres

In addition to the standard axle centre of 127 mm, options of 102 mm and 76 mm are available on request to handle smaller packages.

Impact Loading Table

A fabricated steel side frame is braced throughout to create an Impact Loading section to handle the increased abuse and wear normally associated with the loading point of the conveyor. Adding this item will significantly prolong the life of this area of the PowerFlex 15 conveyor.

Heavy-Duty Castors

200mm x 50mm Swivel Castors for easier rolling over uneven surfaces. Adds 50mm to the conveyor height.

Roller Stop/Connector

Provides a simple mechanical connection between conveyor sections to allow longer lines to be built. This also acts as a drop-down stop at the end of lines.

Side Guides

Prevents cartons from running off the edges of the conveyor.

Zero-Pressure Accumulation

Provides a zoned flow control only allowing each package to proceed when the downstream zone is empty. The addition of ‘time out’ control gives excellent power saving only driving the conveyor as required.

Electronic Package Stop

The conveyor stops when sensors at the end detect a package is present. This stops delicate packages from being driven into a fixed end and provides power saving control.

Indexing

The leading edge of a package is detected and starts the conveyor which runs until the trailing edge is detected plus a preset time delay. The conveyor can be utilised as an end of line storage buffer.

SmartFlow - ZLP Singulation Release

Providing a singulated and controlled flow of products along the conveyor line. Once the upstream zone is free, the product will move individually forward.

SmartFlow - ZLP Train Release

This mode functions in much the same way, but with a distinct difference when products advance upstream. When the end zone is cleared (the product has been taken off the end of the PowerFlex), all zones release simultaneously. This results in a train release that progresses all zones at once.

SmartFlow - Build/ Die Back

The conveyor initially looks to function as if there is no control present. All products move upstream undisturbed. Once one product reaches the final zone though, the conveyor begins to systematically stop the zones up the length of the conveyor to reach maximum parcel density. Once the end zone is cleared, the products progress again.

SmartFlow - Package Stop

The conveyor is in an ‘All Run’ mode and operates in a low controlled state. In much the same way as the Build Back operates, once a product gets to the final zone, the whole conveyor line stops. Products do not advance until the final zone is cleared.

SmartFlow - All Run

The All Run mode allows the conveyor to bypass its controls functionality and operate as a standard PowerFlex unit. Useful for achieving high, uninterrupted throughput or for larger product handling.
