Modern IS machines rely on Take Out Arms to efficiently and accurately transfer
hollow glassware from the dead plate to the machine conveyor. When functioning
properly, the take out arm is synchronized with blow molds and glassware is
uniformly spaced on the conveyor. As production rates and line speeds increase,
the proper functioning of the take out arm becomes especially critical.
Working with Glass Industry engineers, Ramsey has developed a new solution
that greatly extends the life of Take Out arm drives. Utilizing high performance
RPV silent chain in place of heat sensitive, drive belts, Ramsey’s Take Out Arm
drives can provide more than 10 times the life of a typical belt driven arm. And
because Ramsey drives are made from hardened steel components, stretch is
eliminated and precision registration is maintained throughout the life of a drive.
The bottom line is....
less downtime . . . reduced maintenance cost . . .and higher output.

Ramsey Take Out Arm drives can be retrofitted to replace most existing belt
drives, resulting in economical
options for many companies.
Ramsey drives can also be
equipped with optional shear pin
sprockets to provide overload
protection.

Proven Results
Years of testing on high production glass lines have shown that no belt driven Take
Out Arm provides the durability and life of a Ramsey Take Out Arm drive. Ramsey
drives outlast even the highest quality belt drive, including Poly Chain®. In fact,
Ramsey drives have been shown to provide over ten times the life of the best
performing belt drive. This translates to greatly extended periods of maintenance
free, trouble free operation. |
