*Happy New Year to all our customers, suppliers and prospective customers!
The New Year has got off to a positive start with a flurry of good enquires
for conveyor systems.
The number of e-mail
enquiries significantly increased during 2003 and we are very pleased
to mention two recent conveyor projects, which started with a general Web
search leading to contact with us to request a quotation/proposal. Following
our quotations, we received orders and have delivered/installed equipment.
Each project was very different.
*Garment Handling
A large independent garment wholesaler decided to install a conveyor to
help load large boxes from inside his container lorries at his distribution
centre near Manchester. We supplied a powered
belt conveyor lorry loader similar to the following picture.
The conveyor is versatile and fully mobile. We also supplied 2 sets of
Expandaveyor
expandable gravity roller conveyors to help bring boxes from the lorries
in the roadway into the warehouse. Our customer is very well pleased with
the installation and has asked us to look at increasing handling capacity
by increasing the belt speed.
One of the UK's long established companies produces security labels in rolls, which are then boxed prior to storage and despatch.
Four roller
conveyor lines were needed to cater for their requirements to bring
the boxed product to the carousel storage area. Each line consists of two
straight line shaft powered
roller conveyors with an intermediate 30° bend. Because the boxes are
light and small, it was necessary to use close pitch rollers (37.5mm), with
intermediate rollers on the bends.
The project needed to be installed by Christmas - we received the order on 2 December and completed delivery and installation on 15 December, i.e. 9 working days!
We look forward to a more prosperous 2004! Please contact
us with your handling problems - we'll help you solve them with a positive
approach.
