Mesh Conveyors

Mesh may be a straight forward horizontal process conveyor or a substantial 7T catenary quench belt in stainless steel to handle 1.5T of forgings dropped into quench at 1200°C.

Pharmaceutical capsule washing and heated tunnels for various processes operate as simple stand alone units. Other more complex systems include this coating system for SKF which includes a mesh belt that carries taper roller bearing cup & cones through a bath of molten molybdenum disulphide before a barrelling system.

Chain Conveyors

Single acetyl chain handling milk cartons in food plant. But this conveyor was made in the thought of food in mind.

Twin CC600 Acetyl Chain conveyor for handling Kegs at Greene King

Twin flighted chains handling integrated circuit boards in Aluminium frames over flow soldering process. Making a great quility conveyor for most industries

Four strands of cast iron CC600 chains receiving kegs from kegging line. These are filled inverted to prevent fobbing and then fed through a turnover unit.

Malleable cast iron drag scraper chain for handling cast iron scrap.

Drag scraper chain running through trough and receiving from wide infeed hopper.

Single acetyl chain handling machined components between machines.

Twin Acetyl chain conveyor handling beer crates on a very large scale.

Quench Conveyors

Quench conveyors in die-casting shop, water quench
Oil quench at Torrington Bearings		Mesh belt quench conveyor

Quench conveyor with nitrile covers slats to protect die-castings from damage		Hinged conveyor (for maintenance removal) for SKF bearings

Small quench conveyor with heat exchanger for quenchant cooling - die-casting		Quench conveyor with keruin cover slats fro EMB die-casting machine

Roller Conveyors

Pivoting lengths of skate wheels to transfer boards at 90° onto power, single chain, conveyor		Some of our various roller production items
Parasite drive wide roller conveyor		Powered roller on transfer bogie for handling 'Bodies in white'
Roller slat wide conveyor for handling slats with stop		Close pitch rubber covered rollers for handling components through shot blasting cabinet
Slewing section on gravity roller track system		Section of a large lineshaft transfer system for handing Servis washing machines through an automatic row of test machines. Cross transfer is achieve by air spring lift.
	Heavy duty powered roller conveyors for handling steel coils
	Lineshaft conveyor with counter balanced access gate

Drag Scraper Conveyor

	A totally stainless steel conveyor in 316. Slow moving and used to collect rubbish and bits of lead from the destruction of vehicle batteries at Britannia Refined Metals
	A Malleable cast iron chain with 3 drag elements. This removes cast iron chippings along a mild steel trough. Internal wheels on the chain are carried on 25mm.sq. bars and the paddle elements hang down conveying the scrap but leaving a thin bed underneath. Perkins Engines, Peterborough

Magnetic Conveyors

We now have a separate company manufacturing magnetic conveyors Magcon Ltd

...Moving magnets behind stainless steel skid bed...

	A 1000mm wide feed conveyor for vertical elevator
	Isometric View
	This 1000mm wide conveyor is designed to be portable and also recover from a pit under a press. It is raised by a manual hydraulic pump and cylinder moving the conveyor body up 2 linear rails.

Multi-Strand Conveyors

These conveyors solved various problems: prior to these innovative units large, heavy flat bed belt conveyors had to be positioned by fork truck between the presses and moved whenever a tool change was needed. Also there was nowhere to store the old conveyors. They also damaged the pressings especially aluminium ones with rubbish being carried by the belts which became pressed into the skins.

The new conveyors could be interlinked to form any length of conveying surface required. They can be electronically interlinked with a stop facility at the take of point

They can also be folded up and pushed about by one man

The extended length is about 3M and the closed length about 1M

The running urethane surface does not damage the pressings and sheds and debris carried through
