Hello
I am new in this environment and as a start I do have next problem.

I am starting on development of a new production line for products to handle max 2000*2000*300 with a weight of 150 kg.s

The products are being procesed in vacuum environment of 5 Pa (0.05 mBar). The process is rather dirty but once the products are processed they have to stay clean.
This means no polution from the transport system.

Vacuum chamber (modular) have a height of 2500 mm and a dept of 35o mm. The total vaccum chamber lenght is approximately 17 meters and the total conveyor length has to be about 40 meters.

We are thingking of transporting with carriers on two paralell shafts (round 40mm) and rolling the carriers with cam roller bearings.
Did anybody have experience with this kind of transport and is likely to support or advice.
Thanks
