Conveyor bang on for TNT
March 1st 2007

Astec Conveyors recently won the contract to design a materials handling system at TNT's new Ł8.2 million Birmingham depot – which TNT claims is the first depot operation in the UK to be fitted with a hi-tech hubstyle sortation system.

In conjunction with TNT, Astec went about designing a concept that would provide an effective reversible materials handling system that could be operated by both night and backshift workers.

Astec Conveyors undertook the turnkey operation and project management, including certification of the mezzanine flooring. The line control PLC and control gear was housed in a new 'wardrobe style' control panel to IP55 standards, with special software to interface to the host TNT Universe computer system.
