*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.

*Handling Security Label Reels

• 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.

• In addition to these four roller conveyor lines we supplied four QD (Quick Delivery)powered belt conveyors, as per picture, with integral drum drive and variable speed inverter control.

• 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.
