TGW-Ermanco CRUZchannel Conveyor

Key Benefits: Protection of Controls, Reduced Installation Cost, Streamlined Appearance, Integral Guardrail

TGW-ERMANCO’S CRUZchannel conveyor frame is an innovative, special open C-channel which sets new industry standards for value and clean, aesthetically pleasing appearance. It also provides many additional benefits besides its streamlined appearance. Its unique design eliminates the need for expensive guardrails for floor-mounted conveyors and reduces guardrail requirements when hung overhead. CRUZchannel provides total protection from damage for CRUZcontrol® (TGW-ERMANCO’S accumulation logic package) during shipment, installation and use. The direct control mounting facilitates pre-piping, pre-wiring and testing before shipment. The side shrouds easily slide into place, protecting all controls from damage and dust.

CRUZchannel’s depth and vertical flanges give it extraordinary strength. This added vertical and horizontal strength easily enables 12-foot lengths to carry more load than industry standard 10-foot conveyor frames. Ceiling hanger mounts can be dropped where it is most convenient instead of only at the bed joints, saving header steel. All that is required is an available heavy-duty splice plate. The added bed length reduces installation cost by eliminating 20% of the required supports, header steel and hanger drops. With all controls premounted to CRUZchannel, substantial reductions in field wiring cost can also be realized.

CRUZchannel is incorporated into all TGW-ERMANCO roller conveyor technologies — Gravity conveyor, XenoPRESSURE® line-shaft-driven live roller conveyor, NBA®23 narrow-belt-driven live roller conveyor, IntelliROL® motorized-roller conveyor, and RLC®25 belt-driven live roller conveyor — with straight, angle and curve sections perfectly aligned. The unbroken appearance seamlessly extends from one technology to another.

CRUZchannel — providing superior value, operational benefits, and appearance — is the future of conveying, available only at TGW-ERMANCO.

Seamlessly smooth, the shrouded CRUZchannel frame sets new standards in appearance, strength, component protection and cost reduction.
