The Mellott Drop Belt is designed to remove slabs by conveying them onto a conveyor that is located under the rollcase line.
Operated by dual air cylinders, the Drop Belt is lowered for slab removal and raised for lumber and cants to continue on the rollcase line for other operations.
The Drop Belt is equipped with a deflector or shear rail which insures that lumber, cants or slabs will slide onto the belt.
A drop out space of 18" to 24" between the end of the Drop Belt and downstream rolls will remove knots, short slabs, etc., without lowering the belt.
The Drop Belt crank mechanism for raising and lowering the belt has been improved. It now uses dual cylinders, 1" thick flame cut arms and 3" diameter cam followers.
The Drop Belt frame has been improved. It is constructed of 1/4" wall structural tubing for added strength.
QM Blue Brute bearings are used on all pivots. These Bearings are double row spherical bearings with cast steel housings.
Heavy wall conveyor pulleys are standard on all Drop Belts.
