BT3 | Doucet | Return Conveyors

BT3 Return Conveyors, the third generation of the belt transfer return system, designed to be teamed up with medium to large size edgebanders, single end tenoners, and u-turn finish lines. Built around a modular frame, BT3 Return Conveyors are available in 5 roller length models, BT3-24, BT3-30, BT3-36, BT3-48 and BT3-60. All models incorporate the fast, simple and highly effective belt transfer system as follows: Its receiving rollers are equipped with a down stroke mechanism that is activated by detection of the trailing end of the panels exiting the equipment.

Transfer belts nested in between the rollers are used to side shift product to a set of motorized rollers parallel to your equipment.

Those return rollers are 2″ lower than the pass line on the equipment in order to avoid interference when overlapping panels are traveling in opposite directions.

Once the panel has cleared the reception area, the receiving rollers return to their upper position ready to receive the next panel.

BT3 Return Conveyors are built for right or left-handed return, according to the model of edgebander.

BT3 Return Conveyors are equipped with a variable speed drive to match the processing speed of the equipment, receiving table speed is adjustable from 30 to 90 ft/min, belt transfer speed is fixed at 180 ft/min and return conveyor speed is adjustable from 60 to 180 ft/min.

BT3-24, BT3-30 and BT3-36’s are ideal for most case-good applications, such as kitchen & bathroom cabinets and living room furniture.

BT3-48 and BT3-60 conveyors are best suited for surface finishing applications, such as office furniture and display casings.
