Dip Tank Conveyor Systems

There are several variations of dip conveyor system:

  1. Overhead Power & Free
  2. Electric Monorail Systems (EMS)
  3. Pendulum Conveyor systems
  4. Rotational Conveyor Systems

A TKS conveyor system offers the following benefits:

  • Modularity: Use pre-engineered TKS conveyor modules to build any size system you need. Engineered modules with common interfaces allows for standardized products and quick manufacturing, while providing nearly unlimited flexibility for paint system design and layout.
  • Scalability: Easy to add on new conveyor sections during cap-up phases.
  • Choose between continuous moving line conveyors or an indexing conveyor system with fast-in, fast-out of hold positions to provide more process time.
  • Process flexibility: by skipping processes, it allows you to create different cycles.
  • Product flexibility: the system adapts to the type of body.
  • Simple maintenance: standardized components reduces pare parts needs.
  • Compact dimensions: reduce conveyor footprint.
  • Possibility of storing the skid or carriers (strip out trolley) during the process.
  • Ensures high process quality by minimizing the immersion of the conveyor surface in the process baths.
  • Adaptable: Suitable for implementation without the use of skids. Can be direct conveyor to body.
  • Reduction of energy consumption in addition to a reduced initial investment.
  • Use of standard plug-and-play components.
  • Control: speed of conveyor can be adapted to specific customer requirements to meet process timing needs.
