Downenders

Coil downenders remove the coils from the turnstile arm and rotate the coils from a vertical to a horizontal position for packaging. Most customers use a Pick and Place to improve productivity and reduce the labor required to run the line.


Pick and Place Traveling Downender

A traveling downender can remove slit mults from the turnstile arm. An automated downlayer is programmed to pick each mult off the turnstile arm, one at a time.

• Traveling downenders minimize the risks of coil ID marking.
• A push-off, which can cause telescoping, is not needed on a turnstile.
• Downenders are ideal for sensitive materials of any gauge or mult width.
• Automatic "Double Pick" routine for narrow mult widths is available to ensure narrow mults do not stick together and cause quality issues.
• Downenders can be installed at floor level.
• Magnetic or vacuum stabilization available for narrow mults.
• Choice of in-line discharge or 90º discharge is available to suit your plant layout and material flow.
• Coil width data input by keyboard or bar code scanner.
• Downenders work with Bushman AvonTec mult-tracking software.
• Reliable, consistent operation with user-friendly controls.

Fixed Position Downender

A fixed position, push-on style downlayer is used for some heavy gauge applications and when marking the coil ID is not important.

• Fixed position downenders operate with push-off style turnstile.
• Better suited for heavy gauge materials.
• Not recommended for light gauge sensitive materials.
• Simple operation with semi-automatic sequence control.
• Floor level installation.
• Choice of in-line discharge or 90º discharge.
• Reliable, consistent operation with user-friendly controls.
