 APPLICATION
The PLEZD may be applied in a
wide variety of applications
where large unitized or
palletized loads need to be
conveyed and accumulated with
no back pressure. The plastic
modular belting makes it ideal
for conveying many pallets or
loads that may not be
conveyable on conventional
roller conveyors. Flexible
plastic pallets, footed
pallets or bagged items are no
problem for the PLEZD. Often
wooden pallets contain boards
that are just too weak to
support the product load
traveling over rollers. The
modular belt offers the
support necessary to convey
those problematic pallets.
The PLEZD fitted with the soft
start/soft stop option makes
it great for handling tall
palletized loads moving from a
palletizer to a stretch
wrapper where sudden starting
and stopping may risk toppling
to shingling of the product.
 EZLogic®'s
onboard zone-on-delay timer
makes unloading accumulated
pallets a breeze on the PLEZD.
When a pallet is removed from
an accumulated line, the
pallet upstream from the
unloaded zone will delay
advancing forward. This allows
the forklift time to clear the
conveyor path, preventing jams
during unloading.
An infeed loading zone delay
kit is available for
applications where product
needs to be loaded on the
infeed zone with a forklift.
This kit delays the loaded
pallet from advancing forward
thus giving the forklift time
to clear the conveyor after
positioning the product on the
infeed zone.
The combination of EZLogic®
and EZDriveT technology
makes the PLEZD ideal for
pallet storage and retrieval
systems. When pallets are
accumulated or not flowing on
the conveyor the zones go into
sleep mode. While in sleep
mode, the zone stops running
in order to save energy and
save wear on mechanical
components.
The flexibility combined with
the robustness of Hytrol's
Model PLEZD makes it the ideal
solution for many large item
and pallet applications.
 OVERVIEW
The PLEZD is composed of
accumulation zones ranging
from 30 inches to 120 inches
in length. Each zone contains
an Electronic Zone Drive (EZDriveT)
that is controlled directly by
the EZLogic® Accumulation
System. The intelligence of
the EZLogic® accumulation
system controls the zone
drives in such a way as to
only run the zone when needed.
The zone drive is turned off
when there are no pallets
present or when they are
accumulated. When the drive is
off, there is no wear on
mechanical components, no
noise created by the zone, and
no electrical power being
consumed by the zone drive.
Installation and setup is
made easy with the PLEZD.
Electrical power is supplied
to the main disconnect panel
which distributes both the
EZDriveT zone power and the
EZLogic® control power
through sealed industrial
plug-in connectors. Both high
and low voltage power simply
plug in a daisy chain fashion
from zone to zone.
