Active Supply & Design (CDM) Ltd based in Cheshire, recently contacted
us to request our help with a very urgent requirement for two special
powered belt conveyors. The conveyors were 2m and 5 m long, each fitted
with 800 mm wide smooth PVC belting. We initially queried the speed
specified, which was variable between 50 and 400 mm/min i.e. extremely
slow. It was confirmed as correct. The need for very slow speed is
that the items being handled are glass and very fragile and delicate.
To achieve this speed range very careful selection of the motor/variable
speed inverter combination was obviously necessary.
The time from order date to delivery and installation of these 2 special
conveyors was only 11 working days!
If you need careful, controlled handling of your products and quick
delivery, please contact us for assistance

*Overhead Conveyors Coming Soon!!
We shall shortly be introducing a range of overhead conveyors. If
floor space is a problem, installing overhead conveyors offers the
benefit of minimum floor space usage. Our new range also offers the
benefit of virtually zero maintenance and noise. Our next News Update
will introduce our new range of overhead cable conveyors.
*Conveyor Upgrades:
We have recently up-graded several electrical retail stores enabling
heavier goods to be handled. The replacement inclined Mezzanine
Floor Conveyors are load rated at 750Kg UDL vs. 150Kg UDL for
the original units. Additional safety features have also been incorporated
including photo sensors top and bottom and ball tables in place of
Gravity
Rollers at the top end to improve loading/unloading of product
at the mezzanine floor level.
WATCH
THIS SPACE!
*Specials:
Paddle conveyors - We are always interested in looking at the more
unusual applications and will always design a conveyor to suit a specific
need. We have recently completed a small Belt
Conveyor with a flighted belt to act as a 'paddle' conveyor. The
conveyor is part of a press-forming machine our customer has built.
The conveyor collects and moves large metal sheets at a regular rate
to a subsequent operation. The sheets will be collected between approx.
100mm high flights (paddles) spaced at 50mm pitch along the conveyor
belt.
We and our customer, worked very closely to tailor the conveyor to
match his specific requirements.
Scrap
Conveyors - We have recently completed an order for two small
Belt
Conveyors to remove scrap metal from a press. The scrap material
ranges from small slugs approx. 1mm thick x 3mm diameter to larger
scrap pieces, approx. 20 x 20mm. The two conveyors operate in series
with the first feeding onto the second at 90 degrees. The second drops
the scrap into a bin approx. 800mm high. The clearance under the press
for the first conveyor is approx. 250mm only.
The special belts on both conveyors are endless PVC with PU sidewalls
and flights. These two special belt conveyors were designed and fabricated
ready for delivery in 9 working days from order! Our standard paint
colour is blue (RAL 5015) but our customer requested these two conveyors
to be in black - no problem! This is the first time we have been asked
for this colour. We feel it looks very good, particularly the contrast
of white belt and black framework and stands.
