PRM stands for Powered Roller Medium Duty Conveyor.
PRM conveyors are rugged, heavy-duty solutions designed for the efficient accumulation of industrial parts.
They are known for flexibility, durability, and innovative control features.
Features of a PRM Conveyor
Continuously Running Motor
The motor on the PRM is continuously running. This significantly increases the lifespan of the essential components in the conveyor.
Because of the continuously running motor, the motor does not index, ensuring the motor/gearbox and the sprocket/chains last longer. This is important especially in demanding industrial settings.
Rugged Steel Frame
Zeta Group Engineering’s PRM has a steel frame with a proven track record of over 45 years in industries like rotor and caliper manufacturing.
The frame’s exceptional durability and reliability make it a top choice for heavy-duty applications.
Flexible Layout Designs
One of the PRM conveyor’s standout qualities is its adaptable designs. It can be customized to meet your specific needs and floorplan.
The following design options are available at Zeta Group Engineering:
Single or multi-lane configurations
Custom widths and lengths
Right-angle transfers
Curved roller sections
Roller Variations
The PRM conveyor offers various roller surface choices to best suit your product requirements.
These options include:
Urethane rollers
Steel rollers
Plastic rollers
Right angle transfer rollers
UHMW rollers
Tapered rollers
Hardened steel rollers
Control Features
To enhance efficiency, the PRM conveyor utilizes a FESTO I/O system. This system seamlessly integrates sensors and pneumatics on the same network, reducing the need for multiple connections.
It also simplifies the PLC programming by auto-detecting connected devices and building I/O maps.
Zeta Group Engineering is a robotic integrator and conveyor manufacturer based in Wrightstown, Wisconsin.
