14VarioFlow plus Rexroth solutionsThe conveyor solution for a widevariety of primary packaging designsWith the VarioFlow plus conveyor system, Rexroth provides a solution fora broad spectrum of primary packaging designs that is low-maintenance,reliable, flexible, and offers fast throughput times. Standard componentspermit adaptations to even the tightest of spaces. Technical challenges,such as safe transition points for extra small products, can be easilymastered with connecting assemblies.

Rexroth solutions VarioFlow plus 15The forms, dimensions, and geometries of primarypackaging are a direct reflection of consumer behaviorand preferences. Marketing picks up on these needs andtranslates them into a primary packaging design. From talland pointy shampoo bottles to boxy vacuum-sealed coffeepackages, VarioFlow plus can adapt to any requirement andmake sure that products are safely transported, distributed,and collected. Intersections possiblein extra-tight spaces Standard componentsfrom the product catalog Modified components foroptimum layout solutions Secure bridging ofconveyor gaps, includingsolutions for ultra-compactproduct dimensions Installation of poweredtransitions at drives orreturn units on theVarioFlow plus conveyorsystem

16VarioFlow plus Rexroth solutionsThe conveyor solution for marketoriented secondary packagingEn route to and from packaging machines, it is important to ensure reliable,fast, and trouble-free transport of different sizes and types of secondarypackaging. VarioFlow plus offers a variety of components for seamless androbust process chains. Transitions for the general flow of materials duringproduction are created by ascending, wedge, or alpine conveyors.

Rexroth solutions VarioFlow plus 17On traditional systems, large or bulky products requirecurves with a large radius and high friction coefficient.Rexroth takes a different approach: curves with ballbearings generate rolling friction. This means less frictionand wear, as well as lower energy requirements andhigher loads. Suitable chains fordamage-free producttransport or accumulation Speeds of up to 60 m/minwithout added lubricants Variable speed withon-board frequencyconverter andpotentiometer Patented ball-bearingtechnology enables thetransport and accumulationof large-volume productsand heavy loads, evenwhen using curves
