® TRANSPORTER Installation & Operating Instruction Manual
P/A INDUSTRIES INC. The Original Transporter. The Transporter is a totally unique material handling device. Protected under USA and foreign patents, these low profile, beltless conveyors are pneumatically powered and have become a cost effective alternative to conventional conveyors. There are no belts or bearings to wear out or maintain. The rhythmic vibrating or shaking motion moves parts or scrap along a custom tray or chute designed to fit your tool or application.
APPLICATIONS U.S. PATENT NO.

The Conveyor tray or chute must be supported at both ends to minimize vibration and deflection. A block of Delrin GP-500 or Nylon, low friction material can be used for the tray to slide. For optimum installation, use P/A Roller Slides to rigidly control the tray movement and provide trouble-free operation. See page 27.
