Transverse Pipe Automatic Conveying System PLTCS (DN400-1000) | Qianshan, Shanghai, China

The PLTCS is a transverse pipe conveying system for pipe fabrication plants. It moves pipe or finished spool pieces sideways, across the line, while they are being beveled or automatically welded. This raises the level of automation in the plant and reduces the hazards of hoisting heavy pipe by crane.

Qianshan says the system is a patented product that achieves lateral conveying quickly, smoothly, and securely, and that it can replace a turnover mechanism. Trolleys run on light rails and are lifted and moved electrically, with a screw lifter, chain sprocket drive, and variable frequency stepless speed control. The operator controls it from a console, with wireless remote control available as an option.

There are two model families: the PLTCS-16Aa/24Aa for DN400 and DN600 pipe, and the PLTCS-16Bb/24Bb/32Bb/40Bb for DN400 to DN1000 pipe. The larger family uses double screws and four guide rods on each trolley, while the lighter one uses a single screw and single guide rod.

Why Choose a Transverse Conveying System?

Moving heavy pipe between stations by crane is slow, needs skilled crane operators, and creates safety risks. A conveyor built into the line moves pipe quickly and safely at the touch of a control.

• Safer. Less crane hoisting of heavy pipe and spools.
• Faster flow. Pipe moves sideways between stations at up to 10m/min.
• Fewer stations. It can replace a turnover mechanism.
• Controlled movement. Electric lifting, chain drive, and stepless speed control give smooth, secure handling.
• Built to fit. Conveying length and line length can be set to the customer's requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this system do?
It moves pipe or spool pieces sideways, across the line, while they are being beveled or automatically welded.

Does it replace crane handling?
Qianshan says it increases automation and reduces the hazards of hoisting, and that it can replace a turnover mechanism.

What pipe sizes does it handle?
DN400 and DN600 (Aa models) or DN400 to DN1000 (Bb models).

How fast does it move?
Up to 10m/min, with stepless speed control.

How is it controlled?
From a manual console, with wireless remote control available as an option.

Can the length be customised?
Yes. Conveying length and line length can be set to your requirements.

Does Qianshan supply other conveying systems?
Yes, including a longitudinal pipe conveying system and conveying systems for band saws, end beveling machines, beveling machines, and cutting machines.

Is financing or staged payment available?
Yes. A deposit secures your order and begins production, with the remaining balance due only once your machine has been built, inspected, and is ready to ship.

Should I buy new or used?
This system is available new, built to your plant layout.
