BUDGETARY
CONTROL
Gravity
systems are used as a cost effective method of conveying goods over
a given area. This incorporates low expenditure coupled with low maintenance
costs to provide an effective handling of materials or products. The
simplest gravity tracks immediately eliminate the fetching and carrying
element of work to enable more effective use of man hours.
DESIGN
Due to our extensive
manufacturing experience we treat every project as a single entity,
and design each system to your requirements. Therefore factors such
as weight and dimensions of goods (to assess the width and capacity
of the rollers), surrounding environment, usage, area and requirements
are all interlinked to provide an efficient and profitable scheme. Depending
on the product, the system can be manufactured with various types of
materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, zinc coated
or galvanised to prevent damage or rusting of the conveyor.
ADAPTABILITY
All
systems can be designed for the application or adapted to suit the project,
eg, the stands may be either bolted to the floor for stability or on
a suitably braced subframe with castors for manoeuvrability. The supports
may be either a fixed height or adjustable to allow for declines. Gravity
systems can also be supplied in skatewheel form. Flexible conveyors
are also extremely useful in situations where production levels change
or machinery is moved. Using flexible conveyors enables you to develop
your own custom made working environment.
ROLLERS
The rollers
are the critical component of the gravity conveyor and are manufactured
to many specifications, dependant upon the application. Tapered rollers
or split parallel rollers are used for curvatures and bends and may
be deigned to suit the project. Rollers can be mild steel, stainless
steel or plastic, rubber coated, zinc coated or galvanised. The spindles
may be spring loaded, stub axles, drilled and tapped or turned down
with a male end thread.
