*New Conveyor Projects:

See what Rusmail Belt Conveyors are doing to help our clients solve their handling problems.

Our latest success story covers a powered belt conveyor, gravity roller conveyor and controls for a major Tea and Coffee importer and blender.

Very heavy bags of coffee beans, up to 75kg each, need to be loaded into a hopper/bucket elevator feeding a new blending plant. For improved handling efficiency and safety reasons an inclined mobile powered belt conveyor has now been installed. The conveyor carries the heavy bags up to approx. 1,500 mm height onto a short length of gravity roller conveyor. One roller has been removed to provide space for the operator to cut the bags to release the beans into the feed hopper below.

Both conveyors are readily movable to allow easy access to the hopper/elevator when needed. Please refer to the pictures of the installed unit.

Rusmail Conveyor System

We designed and supplied the powered belt conveyor, approx. 3 m long fitted with a 600 mm wide grip-face belt. This unit is mounted on a mobile base fitted with castors. The gravity roller conveyor is 1,000 mm long x 750 mm wide with 50 mm diameter rollers set at 75 mm pitch, except for the cutting gap at 100 mm. The rear supports for the roller conveyor were designed to go around the hopper and have castors fitted to facilitate removal..

Controls for the system allow the belt conveyor to run and stop for unloading using a foot-operated switch. The unit was supplied with armoured cable and connector for immediate plug-in operation. The drive is via a 0.375 kW right angled geared motor. Controls are mounted in a control cubicle fitted within the mobile base framework.

Our customer is extremely pleased with the operation of the new conveyor and it achieves all that he was looking for.
