Interroll's Heavy-Duty American Style Curve Meets Parcel and Airport Baggage

Jeffersonville, Indiana (May 24, 2010) -- Providing an economical, rugged

conveying solution for handling parcels as well as airline baggage,

Interroll's new American Style Curve is the physical realization of the

mechanical specifications laid out by the nation's major parcel carriers and

airport consultants. Based on proven technology, the robust American Style

Curve features a dependable, positive chain drive that eliminates the chance

of belt slippage common to friction driven curves.

The development of the ultra-reliable American Style Curve gives our

customers several conveying options. The new curve allows Interroll to

offer a curve with moderate noise emissions and high load capacity at speeds

to meet most parcel and airline baggage handling applications. For

applications that demand higher speeds and nearly silent operation,

Interroll still has the option of supplying our signature high-speed

European Style Curve. Either product provides our customers with a quiet,

smooth and efficient solution that will greatly lower the cost of ownership

over time, said Michael W. Brown, industry and marketing director at

Interroll Automation.

The positive-drive American Style Curve enables conveying speeds up to

350fpm and load bearing capacity of 50 pounds per linear foot. Noise

emission levels of less than 71dBA can be expected during operation.

The American Style Curve features a removable unitized steel slider bed

cassette, as well as a Clipper® brand non-unibar laced belt connection. In

addition, customers can select the belting and power unit that best meets

their requirements.
