Technical evaluation
What decides the specification
These questions are worked through with you before any equipment is proposed. The answers are recorded so the specification can be audited later.
- 01
What is the smallest and largest unit conveyed?
Roller pitch, belt width and guide arrangement are set by the extremes of the load range, not the average carton.
- 02
What throughput must be sustained?
Units per hour at peak, not annual averages, is what sizes drives, accumulation and buffer length.
- 03
Where do people work along the line?
Guarding, emergency stop layout, reach distances and working heights are designed with the operators who will run the line.
- 04
What happens when it stops?
Manual fallback, access for cleaning and spares strategy are agreed before installation, not after the first stoppage.
Documentation
Figures we confirm from manufacturer sources
We do not publish capacities, dimensions or performance data on this website, because those figures are only meaningful for a specific configuration. For a quoted configuration, we supply the manufacturer's own documentation alongside our proposal.
