Summit Systems offers full support from specification through to installation, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines. Our expertise ensures you get a conveyor solution tailored for maximum throughput and minimal downtime.
Swan Neck Conveyors are specifically designed to transport materials between different elevations within a production line. In the plastics industry, they are commonly used to move moulded parts away from injection moulding machines, facilitating efficient downstream processing. Their Z-shaped configuration allows for seamless integration into complex manufacturing setups, optimising space and improving workflow.
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of Swan Neck Conveyors. Key considerations include routine inspection of belt tension and alignment, checking for wear on moving parts, and ensuring that profiles and sidewalls are intact to prevent material spillage. Proper lubrication of bearings and timely replacement of worn components can significantly reduce downtime and extend the conveyor’s service life.
The MB Swan Neck Conveyor range is highly customisable to meet specific operational requirements. Options include varying belt widths, lengths, and incline angles. Additional features such as hoppers, side guides, and discharge chutes can be incorporated to handle different materials and accommodate various production layouts. This flexibility ensures that each conveyor system can be tailored to optimise performance and efficiency within a given manufacturing environment.
