Rusmail Conveyor Systems has installed a powered roller conveyor that removes the manual handling element from production at Altro Resins in Dorset.
The 6m conveyor is designed to withstand the loading of 800kg metal moulds and 1.5m blocks of resin which were previously moved by a combination of forklift truck and manpower.
John Hull, Manufacturing Manager, Altro Resins says: “Rusmail’s simple, robust unit has really organised the process and because it is all automated; as well as tightening up our health & safety, it has taken the ‘grunt’ out of handling such heavy components.”
The new system involves the moulds being loaded by crane onto the conveyor which then pass under a mixer to be filled with resin. The end product is de-moulded as floor tiles. Operated by foot switch, the conveyor can then be reversed to carry back the empty moulds for re-casting.
