Conveyor specs:
3 different conveyor section; 175’ long, 185’ long and 83’ long. All 24 inches wide. Located in a pit approximately 6 feet below floor level.
Conveyor system rated for 15,000 pounds of scrap per hour.
What did it replace:
We replaced an aging “steel belt” conveyance system with a shaker system. Customer had over 450 feet of underground steel belts that conveyed scrap out of the
building and into a scrap distribution system. This system was being fed from 13 presses.
They were plagued with consistent weekly downtime due to failing steel belts jams.
Whenever one does break down, the ones feeding it typically keep feeding onto the broken
one until someone notices.
The situation needed a better solution.
Solution/Benefits:
The shaker system eliminates the issue of scrap getting caught in between the steel cleats and depositing the scrap underneath the conveyor and causing a massive build up of scrap in the pit. This also caused long term damage to the conveyor frames. All scrap that landed on the shaker pan was distributed to the large incline conveyor to deposit the scrap into scrap trailers.
