Conveyor Systems Case Study - Customer B

Solution

ST Machinery Sales Ltd was invited to measure the system requirements and with samples of the closure tops for testing, ST set about designing and building the conveyor. Because the conveyor was very narrow (50mm wide) and covered to give part protection, we had to be sure the closure tops travelled the whole length of the belt in a continuous line without tipping over or jamming.  ST tested several shapes of closure top guide rails, finally specifying the final design.

We are proud to say the conveyor was delivered in 12 working days fulfilling Customer B's required specification.
