This conveyor system transports wire mesh baskets with vehicle parts to an industrial washing machine in which the parts are then cleaned. First, the system operator loads the roller conveyors with loaded washing baskets at several loading points. Specially designed docking devices are fitted at the loading point to lock the customer's trolley in place.
The washing baskets are now conveyed from the roller conveyor to the industrial washing machine. They are centred at the insertion opening of the washing machine, lifted out and transferred to the roller conveyor of the washing machine using a special telescopic insertion device. Plastic attachments are fitted to the rollers to ensure safe transport even with crooked or bulbous baskets.
After the parts with basket have been washed, the basket is removed again via the insertion device and then moved to the corresponding unloading points. There, the baskets are unloaded by the operator. The baskets are moved to the lower return section via a lifting device and then returned to the operator via a return section.
