Cylinder Manufacturers

Efficient transfer of heavy cylinders across manufacturing, coating storage processes

Cylinders are manufactured in very dusty environments as major process requires forging, tooling etc. The set-up also consists an overhead conveyor with a coating plant. Apart from coating conveyor, it is found with cylinder manufacturers that cylinders are required to be cured after coating, and also stored till the despatch schedule.

With Statfield’s overhead conveyor, cylinders are not only cured but conveyor is designed in such a way that even inventory is managed with material handling.

Overhead Conveyor for Cylinder Manufacturers

Challenges

  • Ergonomic handling of Cylinders
  • Intense dependency on human resources for material transfers

Advantages of overhead conveyor

  • Ergonomic operations, zero human injuries
  • Better throughout with ease of handling
  • Effective use of vertical height for storage purposes

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your overhead conveyor adapted for handling heavy, cylindrical shapes?
Our systems are engineered with custom-designed cradles, V-shaped trolleys, or gripper attachments that securely hold cylindrical products. This prevents rolling, swinging, or slipping during transport, ensuring stable and damage-free movement through all stages of production.
Our process involves shot blasting, painting, and hot drying. Can the conveyor handle this?
Yes. We specialize in Complete Process Line conveyors. We use high-temperature resistant chains and lubricants for drying ovens, and our enclosed-track or corrosion-resistant designs are perfect for shot blasting and paint booth environments, ensuring reliability through harsh conditions.
We need to move cylinders between multiple floors (e.g., for testing and filling). Is this possible?
Absolutely. Our systems efficiently incorporate vertical lifts, inclines, and declines to create a continuous flow between different building levels. This is ideal for moving cylinders from the manufacturing floor to hydro-testing stations, painting, and finally to the filling area without manual lifting or elevator use.
How does the system manage the high point loads of individual cylinders?
Cylinders are heavy and concentrate weight on a small footprint. We calculate the point load for each cylinder and design the track, chain, and trolleys with a high safety factor to handle these concentrated weights safely and prevent system strain.
Can the conveyor integrate with automated processes like valve fitting or labeling?
Yes. The conveyor can be programmed to stop or index at precise locations for automated valve assembly, laser engraving, labeling, or scanning. This enables a seamless, automated production cell that reduces manual labor and improves accuracy.
How does the system prevent damage to the cylinder's painted or finished surface?

We use non-marking, soft-touch cradle liners and ensure smooth transfers between conveyor sections. By minimizing contact points and preventing metal-to-metal scraping, we protect the cylinder’s finish from scratches and dents throughout the handling process.
