Conveyor Systems Manufacturer

Cutting labour costs has been often a constant struggle with manufacturing companies. Whether your business is a process / manufacturing industry, industrial or logistics warehouse, retail picking, packing unit, for even a food business, you need to ensure you have the suitable systems and processes in place which can help you optimize labour costs. Arrowcon® Conveyor systems are a fast and effective way of efficient mechanical handling of goods for transporting them within a designated area. Conveyor systems minimize human error, lower workplace risks, and, most importantly, reduce labour costs with increase of efficiency manifolds. They have been proven to be useful in helping to move light to bulky or heavy items from one point to another within the production cycle. An Arrowcon® conveyor system may use wheels, belts, rollers, or a chain to transport objects.

A typical Arrowcon® belt conveyor system consists of a belt stretched across two or more pulleys. The endless or mechanically joined belt forms a closed loop around the pulleys so it can continually rotate. The drive pulley drives or tows the belt, transporting materials between the feeding and discharge points. Most conveyor systems use a rotor ( generally motor ) that powers the drive pulley and belt. The belt attaches to the rotor with friction between the two surfaces. For the belt to move effectively, both the drive pulley and tail idler must run in the same direction – clockwise or anti-clockwise. Sometimes a conveyor system needs to turn to deliver items to the designated location. Some unique cone-shaped wheels or rotors allow the belt to follow a bend or twist without getting tangled for these turns to work effectively. A plastic modular belt is also a good choice for these conveyors. Before we dig deeper into how Arrowcon® conveyor systems can save labour costs...
