PROPER MAINTENANCE IS CRUCIAL
Regularly inspecting and properly maintaining conveyors increases production, reduces safety hazards, and lowers cost of operation. Stay on top of maintenance tasks and look for areas of improvement to enhance productivity and safety.
IMPACT CRADDLES
Watch to see how impact beds can help protect the belt from damage.
BELT SUPPORT
See why idler spacing is very important when supporting and sealing a belt.
TRANSITION DISTANCE
Check out how proper transition distance can help properly cup the belt.
IMPROPER CONTACT
Watch to learn about the potential issues improper contact of the conveyor belt to the return roller can cause.
IDLERS BETWEEN CRADLES
Learn how to stack multiple components together in the load zone.
BELT MISTRACKING
There are so many reasons belts mistrack, here's a quick recap of just a few.
Case Studies
Enertec is dedicated to the recycling of car batteries; they triturate and separate the plastic and the lead from the batteries, and then re-use it to manufacture new batteries. Their conveyor belt suffered from impact damage and misalignment....
A drop of approximately 23 feet onto the belt proved hard on conveyor components, causing excessive wear and damage to both the belt and idlers. Martin® Impact Cradles absorb the impact originating in lumps of material landing on the belt...
A major expansion at a gold mine included an innovative idler design developed by Martin Engineering in conveyor transfer areas. The mine’s high-capacity conveyor system faces continuous loads and heavy impact from 8-inch lumps of copper ore...
