One source for modular engineered products
Automation Supplies is a new company offering a range of exciting new engineered products from one source, based on the popular and increasing use of established modular parts and assemblies.
Since 1973, companies from around the world have turned to Dorner conveyors for greatly improved efficiency and productivity.
The range offers a very wide range of industrial conveyors in steel, stainless steel and aluminium profile construction.
Traditional flat belt conveyors and belt conveyor bends are complimented by modular plastics belts with standard bends and incline derivatives of the highest quality.
The belt conveyors have some innovative features to improve reliability and reduce maintenance such as positive V-belt guiding and rack and pinion tensioning.
These innovations are standard on many belt conveyors and help to reduce belt wear and speed up belt change times.
Selected centre drive units for belt conveyors also feature gas strut or pneumatic assisted automatic belt tensioning so repeated manual adjustment is not necessary.
* Modular sanitary conveyors - perhaps the most novel recent development from Dorner, said Automation Supplies, is the 'Aqua-Pruf' range of modular sanitary conveyors.
Available as flat belt, belt bends, modular plastic straights and conveyor bends, together with a comprehensive range of elevating conveyors, the 'Aqua-Pruf' product line is probably the most complete standard sanitary food grade conveyor range available.
The standard 'Aqua-Pruf' conveyor has many features to aid efficient cleaning in wash down situations and can be easily taken apart if necessary.
Strip down of a typical conveyor takes one person 3 min.
Preparation for daily cleaning takes 30s and can be achieved without any special tools.
The 'Aqua-Pruf' ultimate range takes this to new levels with features such as integrated automatic belt washing, plastics bearings, TIG welded construction with no fasteners in the food zone.
'Aqua-Pruf' conveyors are manufactured from 304 stainless as standard but can be specified in 316 stainless if required.
This investment in design had brought about various accreditations from the US bakery and agricultural industries.
