CASE STUDY: Conveyor Retrofit

conveyor retrofit system

The Problem: Upgrade conveyor to zero-pressure functionality without tearing out your used conveyor.

A major 3PL needed zero pressure functionality to handle cartons down to a very light weight but didn’t want to replace their existing conveyor. Noise from the old-fashioned belt and lineshaft system made it hard for operators to concentrate, and back pressure created jams.  Maintenance required special expertise and constant struggle to keep the conveyor running smoothly. Lucky for them, TransMaster can be provided in a cost efficient retrofit package.

The Solution: 24 Volt DC TransMaster conveyor upgrade

CASI presented a solution for an economical overhaul of existing conveyors, utiliizing TransMaster 24VDC rollers.  Now, packages accumulate with zero back pressure, and slug release keeps throughput high with reasonable speeds.  Noise levels are office quality now that the conveyor system renovation is finished.

Conveyor safety is greatly enhanced due to the low distributed torque.  An operator can place their hand between rollers and the rollers will simply stop.  Additionally there is no dangerous three-phase high voltage to deal with.

Maintenance is now a breeze.  There is almost nothing that can go wrong with this setup.  If an individual  roller does start to fail, it will signal its failure visually (via LEDs) and over the CASI SolidSuite network.  Replacement is simple enough that an operator can do it and requires no tools.

The system has performed so well that the General Manager plans to retrofit all of his existing conveyor to CASI TransMaster.
