How is the product currently packaged? (describe)

What colors are the product/loads?
NOTE: Some colors, such as green or black require a special auto height sensing device.

Individual Package/Unit Description:

Bag	Carton	Bottle	Pails / Buckets	Other:
Bundle	Cans	Tray	Bale

Types of products to be wrapped (flour, detergent, beer, etc.):

Load Information

How is product stacked?

Slipsheet

Pallet and Slipsheet

Palletless

Other:

Load Dimensions:

	Length along conv.	Width across conv.	Height	Weight Lbs.	% of prod.
Max. load size
Min. load size

Stacking Pattern:

Other:

ARE THE LOADS STABLE? (can be conveyed, started and stopped on powered conveyor at a rate of 30 feet per minute.)

Yes No

If NO specify load stablility:

Load Configuration / Profile

"A" Profile
Regular loads with no puncture hazards

"B" Profile
Puncture hazards up to 3"

"C" Profile
Puncture hazards over 3"

Top Layer Configuration (Check all applicable)

Pallet Specifications:
CLEARLY SELECT THE PROPER DRAWING MATCHING YOUR PALLETS USED:

Pallet Type 1

Pallet Type 2

Pallet Type 3

Pallet Type 4

Pallet Type 5

Pallet Type 6

Pallet Dimensions: (without load)

	Runner length & thickness (A)	Top deck width & thickness (B)	Pallet thickness (C)	Number of bottom boards	Bottom boards length & thickness (D)
Pallet Type 1				Not Applicable	Not Applicable
Pallet Type 2				Not Applicable	Not Applicable
Pallet Type 3
Pallet Type 4
Pallet Type 5
Pallet Type 6				Not Applicable	Not Applicable

Indicate condition of pallets:

New

Used

Reconditioned

Describe condition of bottom boards if used/reconditioned: (important information)

Pallet Load Configuration

Perpendicular to conveyor roller
(EASY WAY)

Parallel to conveyor rollers
(HARD WAY)

NOTE: With standard power conveyor, bottom boards should run in the flow direction of the system to ensure smooth product flow and effective transfer. Pallets with bottom boards parallel to conveyor rollers may require special conveyor design (greater weight capacity per roller, closer roller spacing, drag chain, etc.)

Load may overhang pallet (maximum):	A side (inches)	C side (inches)
Depending upon extent of overhang and size of load, overhang on side “C” may cause interference with cut and clamp process.

Load may be inboard (maximum):	A side (inches)	C side (inches)
	B side (inches)	D side (inches)
Inboard conditions can create wrapping problems if customer desires to wrap both pallet and load. Special wrap logic may be required depending upon extent of inboard conditions.

System Loading and Flow Specifications

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Indicate how pallet load is travelling. If machine is to be loaded or unloaded from the side of the conveyor please indicate the proper sides of the conveyors for these operations.

CONVEYORIZED TURNTABLE AUTOMATICS: (PCTA Series)
NOTE: Conveyorized turntable automatics loading/travel/flow is viewed standing at turntable facing the tower. If more conveyor is required, an external cabinet is provided.

Indicate flow direction if not standard (Std. is RIGHT to LEFT):
LEFT to RIGHT flow required

Is 90° transfer at the turntable required? YES NO
If YES Infeed Exit

CONVEYORIZED OVERHEAD AUTOMATICS: (PRTA Series)
NOTE: Conveyorized overhead automatics loading/flow is viewed standing at control panel.

Indicate flow direction if not standard (Std. is LEFT to RIGHT):
RIGHT to LEFT flow required

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

To insure proper sequencing and pallet transfer, Phoenix prefers to supply a minimum of five feet each of the power infeed and power exit conveyor. Standard conveyor sections are five feet, 52” BFR (between frame rails).

Required System Pass Height: inches (Phoenix Standard Pass Height is 18”)
(Note: Some options may affect Pass Height)

INFEED CONVEYOR
Power conveyor - Number of sections
Independent forward and reverse manual function required YES NO

EXIT CONVEYOR
A. Power conveyor - Number of sections
Independent forward and reverse manual function required YES NO

B. Dead roller conveyor - Number of sections
CONVEYOR TYPE REQUIRED
Roller
Other:

CONVEYOR SPEED REQUIRED: Feet per Minute (30 Ft/Min is Standard)

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY STOP
Phoenix Standard Machinery has emergency stops at the infeed, at the exit and on the control panel.

OTHER DATA RELEVANT TO THIS APPLICATION
On standard close-spaced conveyors, loading from either side of the conveyor is not recommended. Chain guards are on both sides of the conveyor which will restrict the forks. End loading/unloading is suggested.
