How do I choose the right carrier for my business?
Choosing the right carrier depends on several factors, including what you are transporting and the environment you are in. We are happy to help you develop a customized solution. Here are some basic guidelines:
– Belt conveyors are not only suitable for light goods – we also build them for heavy goods up to 5 tons. Constructions are available in aluminum, stainless steel and steel.
– Chain conveyors are perfect for palletized goods and are particularly suitable if the goods are to be transported with the long side forward.
– Roller conveyors are ideal for heavy products, with the ability to easily expand the system.
– Combined system solutions with roller conveyors and chain conveyors enable flexible and targeted handling in complex production lines.
What is a belt conveyor and what advantages does it have?
A belt conveyor is a type of conveyor that moves goods from point A to point B using a belt. Our belt conveyors:
– Available in both straight and angled models
– Built in aluminum, stainless steel or steel
– Suitable for both dry and wet environments
They are used in, among other things, the food industry, engineering, woodworking, the plastics industry and the defense sector.
Which industries use your transportation systems?
We deliver customized transport systems to several industries:
– Manufacturing industry
– Food industry
– Warehouse and logistics
– Recycling industry (especially plastics)
– Plastics industry
– Woodworking
– Pharmaceutical industry
– Defense industry
How can an efficient transportation system improve production flow?
A well-planned transport system contributes to:
– Reduced production stops
– Increased efficiency
– Better working environment
– Safer and faster flows from start to final destination
What materials are used in your conveyor belts for durability and performance?
We build the conveyors ourselves, while the belts are purchased from carefully selected suppliers depending on the project requirements. This means we can always offer the most suitable belt material for each unique solution.
Do you offer customized carriers for specific needs?
Yes! Customization is standard with us. We start from basic models, but each solution is customized to match your specific needs – regardless of industry or production environment.
What is the difference between different types of conveyor belts, such as PVC, modular belts and steel belts?
Different belt materials have different properties:
– PVC tape – cost-effective, easy to maintain
– Modular belt – withstands water and high stress
– Steel belts – suitable for extreme temperatures and heavier applications
What safety aspects should be considered when choosing a carrier?
Safety depends on how and where the conveyor is used. We take into account, for example:
– Protection against pinch injuries
– Emergency stop and sensors
– Hygiene requirements in food environments
– Availability for service
In which environments is a fire-rated conveyor needed?
The need for a fire-rated conveyor arises in environments where fire safety is crucial, such as in certain parts of the food or defense industries. Our belt conveyors can be customized with fire-rated components if necessary.
What are the advantages of a fire-rated conveyor in industrial environments?
The benefits include:
– Increased security
– Reduced risk of spread in the event of a fire
– Meeting industry-specific security requirements
Contact us for advice on fire-rated solutions.
How often does a transportation system need service and maintenance?
Maintenance needs vary depending on:
– Type of conveyor
– Frequency of use
– Type of environment (e.g. hygiene requirements in the food industry)
We offer advice and service agreements tailored to your business.
