GRONEMEYER MASCHINENFABRIK GMBH & CO.

The Gronemeyer Heliflex continuously operating cooler cools, ferments or tempers general cargo. The products are transported on a plastic Heliflex chain. The chain is wound around two rotating towers in a spiral. The products' discharge temperature can be changed by adjusting the throughput time and/or the temperature in the module. Technical data: —Chain width: up to 400 mm —Usable chain length: up to 1,000 m —Temperature range: +1°C to +85°C —Insulating hood with access doors and inspection windows according to customer request —Cooling unit with direct evaporation or flow-through cooler with coolant (e.g., Sole) —Heat exchanger with hot water or steam connection

The Gronemeyer switch divides the stream of products into two or more lanes during continuous operation or in cycle operation. You can select either a pneumatic or an electrical drive. The pneumatic drive is characterized by a good price-performance ratio. The electrical drive allows you to divide the stream of products into more than two lanes. Technical data: —Distribution: 2 lanes —Distribution process in cycle operation —Lane distance: up to 250 mm —Pneumatic drive Optional equipment: —Independent electrical control system with congestion monitoring —Loading and unloading belts —Infinitely variable width adjustment —Combination with gripper technology for distribution during continuous operation —Electrical drive for distribution to multiple lanes —Complete machine cover made of Makrolon with maintenance doors

The Gronemeyer depalletizer is an economical alternative to a completely automatic machine. It is used when processing small to mid-sized numbers of items. An individual arrangement of depalletizers lets one person operate several machines. Easy operation allows for a short training period for new personnel. Technical data: —Use of EURO pallets (1200x800 mm) or special sizes (1200x1000 mm) —Pallet height: up to 2250 mm —Pallet weight: up to 1000 kg —Depalletizer performance: up to 64 layers/h for 8 pallets —Independent electrical control system Optional equipment: —Unloading belts —Accessible platform according to customer request

The Gronemeyer synchronized switch divides the stream of products batch-by-batch and gently into several lanes. During the distribution process the products are not braked, so that functional reliability is ensured even at high speeds. Because the number and width of the lanes to be approached can be freely selected, the machine is suitable as product feed for palletizing machines or similar devices. Technical data: —Distribution: Number of lanes depends on the recipe —Distribution process during continuous flow of materials —Product gap: from 15 mm —Conveyor speed: more than 60 m/min. —Lane distance: depends on recipe —Complete machine cover made of Makrolon with maintenance doors —Independent electrical control system with congestion monitoring Optional equipment: —Loading and unloading belts —Infinitely variable width adjustment

The Gronemeyer accumulation table can store large quantities of glasses, bottles or tins. The products are pushed to the accumulation table if there is backlog. The products are later re-fed into production by operating the system in reverse. The machine works according to the First In-Last Out principle. In case of malfunction, the electrical control system activates the accumulation table based on sensor messages. After the malfunction ends, the stored products are automatically fed into the line. Technical data: —Chain width: up to 3,000 mm —Usable chain length: up to 20 m —Independent electrical control system Optional equipment: —Complete machine cover made of Makrolon with maintenance doors —Loading and unloading belts —Insulated module with air conditioning technology for perishable goods

The Gronemeyer discharging device for residual liquid permits emptying residual liquids from reusable bottles. Bottles with large quantities of residual liquid can be fed into the machine via a bypass. Cleaning occurs during continuous material flow. In addition to turning and cleaning, differences in height can be overcome at the same time. Technical data: —Conveyor performance: up to 60,000 units/h —Overhead track: up to 10 m —Difference in height: up to 10 m —Product weight: up to 40 kg —Product width: 20 - 450 mm —Solid steel construction in painted or stainless-steel version —Manual width adjustment —Automatic tensioning station for the cleated chain —Central lubrication system for the cleated chain optional equipment: —deflecting pulleys —motorized width adjustment —machine cover made of Makrolon or steel grid —electrical control system —loading and unloading belts —water lances for cleaning support of the cleated chain

The Gronemeyer revolving storage is the space-saving solution for storing solid, cube-shaped general cargo. The storage process occurs in cycle operation. The products move into the machine batch-by-batch and are stored vertically in compartments. The machine works according to the First In-Last Out principle. Technical data: —Length of batch: up to 3000 mm —Number of batches: up to 50 —Independent electrical control system Optional equipment: —Complete machine cover made of Makrolon with maintenance doors —Loading and unloading belts —Insulated module with air conditioning technology for perishable goods

The Gronemeyer continuously operating spiral system cools, ferments or freezes general cargo and bulk goods. The products are transported on a plastic mat conveyor chain. The chain is wound around one or two rotating towers in a spiral. The design of the machine permits the handling of unpackaged food. The products' discharge temperature can be changed by adjusting the throughput time and/or the temperature in the module. In addition to heat or cooling treatment, differences in height up to 5 m can be overcome at the same time. Technical data: —Chain width: up to 1,400 mm —Usable chain length: up to 1,000 m —Temperature range: +1°C to +85°C —Insulating hood with access doors and inspection windows according to customer request —Cooling unit with direct evaporation or flow-through cooler with coolant (e.g., Sole) —Heat exchanger with hot water or steam connection

The Gronemeyer synchronized distributor divides the stream of products batch-by-batch and gently into two lanes. During the distribution process the products are not braked, so that functional reliability is ensured even at high speeds. The compact design permits simple incorporation into existing lines. Technical data Distribution: 2 lanes Distribution process during continuous flow of materials Product gap: from 5 mm Conveyor speed: more than 60 m/min. Lane distance: 110 mm, 130 mm Complete machine cover made of Makrolon with maintenance doors Independent electrical control system with congestion monitoring Installation length: 1200 mm Optional equipment Loading and unloading belts

Gronemeyer lane bridging increases the accessibility of the various machines in a filling and packaging line. The gripper technology permits space-saving bridging of roads or pedestrian walks. Even large spans can be realised. Technical data: —Conveyor performance: up to 60,000 units/h —Crossing width: up to 6 m —Crossing height: up to 3 m —Product weight: up to 40 kg —Product width: 20 - 450 mm —Solid steel construction in painted or stainless-steel version —Manual width adjustment —Automatic tensioning station for the cleated chain —Central lubrication system for the cleated chain Optional equipment: —Moving deflecting pulleys in the curves to reduce wear on chains and slide rails —Motorized width adjustment —Complete machine cover made of Makrolon or steel grid with maintenance doors —Independent electrical control system with congestion monitoring —Loading and unloading belts
