The Challenge
The design of the UK facility was geared towards optimizing a small space, and they needed to find conveying equipment that would not only move their material quickly and efficiently, but also around other processes. At the new USA plant, BeardowAdams wanted to convey 22,000 pounds of wax adhesives, resins and EVA, over the course of 12 hours. They wanted the conveyor to be fed from a bag dump station via a short screw feeder at ground level, and elevated and discharged into a large melting tank.
The Solution and Results
BeardowAdams Inc. was once again satisfied with their purchase of the Powderflight aeromechanical conveyor and its overall performance and went on to order three additional Powderflights for the Charlotte plant within the next year. Upon placing the order Operations Manager Peter Gallivan said, “I know how good these machines are.” He added that a good preventative maintenance program is something that BeardowAdams believes in to make sure that all their equipment “is looked after and serviced regularly”, echoing approach that our equipment works superbly when well cared for.
