Hinged Steel Belt Conveyors
Hinged steel belt conveyors are used in applications that deal with metal chips, stampings, scrap metal, fasteners, forgings and castings. These conveyors allow an operation that is continuous be it in a position that is incline, decline or that is leveled. This reduces time wastage due to break downs, even during dry and wet conditions…
A new industry in Ohio aims to repurpose river sediment
Twice a year, a six-mile stretch of the Cuyahoga River has enough sediment dredged out of it to fill more than 22,000 dump trucks. This allows shipping traffic to continue between Lake Erie and Cleveland’s industrial sectors upriver. An executive order earlier this year by Gov. John Kasich prohibits open lake dumping of dredged material.…
Conveyor belt bridge constructed to move wet concrete to point of the mountain project
The conveyor belt bridge will transfer the material from a concrete-making plant to the center of Interstate 15, said Tim Rose, The Point Project manager. The Utah Department of Transportation began construction in March to expand I-15 from Draper to Lehi. The bridge will allow a safer and more efficient way for the project to…
Durability of conveyor belts
The durability of conveyor belts depends on a number of factors. Though there is a stipulated manufacturer durability span, it may never be achieved if some aspects haven’t been carefully put in to consideration or rather followed to the latter. Idlers are important in determining the durability of these belts. The main function of these…
Motors improve belted conveyor efficiency
Whether a conveyor moves small or large parts, efficient and quiet operation are frequent requirements. For small part material handling applications, the 1100 Series conveyor platform now comes with upgraded fixed speed motors that are 50% quieter than the previous version, and still rated for 10,000 hours of operation. The motor is dimensionally identical to…

Conveyor Belt Tracking Systems Reduce Hazards, Spillage
This family of responsive conveyor belt tracking systems mitigates misalignment, rather than correcting it after the fact — even on reversing belts — to promote conveyor efficiency and safety. A mistracking belt can contact the mainframe, seriously damaging both the belt and the structure, resulting in excessive spillage and even creating a potential fire hazard.…
