Clients Brief

Was to supply a Conveying System that would transport 2 lanes of soap bars through a slitter and move on to a sealer, then to turn the bars 45 degrees and proceed to conveyor them on to 2 x Packing Stations at a line speed of 100 metres per min.

Conveyor Speeds

Speeds over 100metres per min; this speed was on the limits of what has been achieved before. We therefore affixed Kevlar wear strips to the plastic belt and used a special hardened plastic for wear strips. Conveyors of this type had never been run at the speeds required within the adverse ambient conditions of the factory in question.

Belt Conveyors

The Belt Conveyors were 20 metres long and had a central tracking groove. They were supplied with a quick release device to enable the belt to be replaced quickly. The frame was a canter lever design, which once again enabled the customer to remove and replace the belts within minutes. Read more about are belt conveyor by clicking here

Soap Bar Turner

The soap bars had to rotate through 45 degrees without being slowed down, they were traveling at 100 m/minute. This was achieved by sensing the product and progressively blowing air through a whisper knife.
