MiniTec Produces Unique Conveyor Belt System

Construction News Image
Basingstoke-based engineering company Minitec has produced a new one-of-a-kind nine-metre conveyor belt system.

The company was approached to find a solution for a client with a very specific wish list for its factory, including an unusually long and seemless assembly line.

The Minitec team quickly designed and built the customised conveyor system – pictured during testing at the factory – which is used for sorting cast zinc sawn parts from an existing manufacturing process.

Included in the design is a hard-wearing belt to cope with transporting the metal parts onto the frame, which is itself made up of MiniTec parts ranging from 25mm diameter x 25mm long to 60mm diameter x 100mm long.

The height adjustable guide rails were also manufactured to be well-equipped to cope with the demanding production requirements and variety of parts which will pass over them.

The engineers have also taken into account the customer's long-term strategy and ensured the system could cope with increased production with an automated solution for the cutting and sorting process.
