Getting into a tight spot
September 1st 2006

Rusmail Coneyor Systems was set an unusual challenge with applications for a food company and a cosmetics manufacturer which were required in tight spaces and underwater.

The first involved three belt conveyors to fit in a 100mm space beneath food product drying ovens.

For this Rusmail used "shoehorn" conveyors; the design is based on its drum drive QD style belt conveyor. The limited depth problem was solved using 50mm deep stepped beds and by locating the drive motors outside the drying ovens.

Stainless steel conveyors also perform well immersed in water with minimum maintenance and interruption in operation.
