When it comes to designing conveyors for solving handling
solutions starting with a simple concept that can be
adapted to operate via more sophisticated technology
makes practical sense, according to Ray Hart, director at
Rusmail conveyor systems. He says that a prime example of
this is the overhead cable conveyor
By using an inclined powered belt conveyor which needed to reach from ground level to a height of almost 6.5m, Rusmail has solved one of its most challenging handling problems to date for a food processing client.
Two key challenges when designing a conveyor system for a specific application are restricted space and flexibility, according to Rusmail Conveyor Systems.
There is no such thing as a standard design in conveyors so Rusmail works hard to maximise the spec to fit the parameters of a customer’s application.
