Breaking the 1.5m Short-Bar Limit: Automated Conveying & 50-Pocket Sorting for Bars ≥30cm
CHITUO Engineering Team · 2026-11-03
Key Engineering Takeaway
To overcome the 1.5m minimum length limit of conventional spaced rollers, Chituo pairs a gapless steel slat-chain bed with a 50-pocket mobile sorting rack—automatically transferring and sorting finished bars from 30cm to 12m while diverting ≤15cm crop ends to scrap.
1. Why Conventional Roller Lines Fail Under 1.5m
On conventional shear lines with spaced rollers, short bars between 30 cm and 1.5 m tip into roller gaps—forcing workers to stand beside the line and pick short pieces by hand.
2. Gapless Steel Chain Bed + 50-Pocket Mobile Rack (30cm–12m)
- Gapless Steel Chain Bed: Every finished bar from 30 cm up to 12 m rides smoothly on a continuous steel slat-chain bed.
- 50-Pocket Mobile Sorting Rack: The motorized 50-pocket rack shifts horizontally underneath to receive each cut batch automatically while crop ends (≤15cm) exit to scrap.
- Automated Stocktaking: Every pocket's bar count and weight are logged automatically for instant inventory reconciliation.
