Skillet Conveyors
WEBB SKILLET SYSTEM
 Skillet conveyors are large, moving platforms that support both the vehicle and the manufacturing team performing assembly operations. Known as a platform conveyor, the “skillets” are arranged in a positive contact, accumulated manner, creating the effect of a moving floor.
This type of conveyor system provides a synergy between people, processes and technology. The ergonomic design helps to reduce fatigue and improve production quality by allowing the vehicle height to be adjusted throughout the assembly process. Each pallet can be customised for each product, station and operation. Some systems are so advanced, that as vehicles progress between the different stations the conveyor system adjusts their height automatically to allow for improved quality and ergonomic ease of assembly. Depending on the process, team members may also be allowed to adjust the working level to their comfortable working height. Decking on these pallets is normally a fatigue relief material to further improve worker comfort and productivity.
Key features:
- Smooth, Silent Operation
- Advanced Flexible Logic Control
- Ease of Operation and Low Maintenance
- Variable Speed Process Capabilities
 
Skillet-Latch eliminates costly retarder drives:
Webb Skillet conveyor systems are uniquely designed to incorporate the exclusive and innovative “Skillet-Latch” mechanism.
The Skillet-Latch device on the front and rear of each skillet allows the skillet platforms to interlock and maintain tight skillet nesting. This device offers these distinct advantages:
- Eliminates pinch points between platforms
- No additional expensive retarder drive units required
- Fewer drives, less initial cost, and lower maintenance expenditures
- Skillet-Latch is a simple and cost effective mechanical solution
