Potter Group contacted UniTrak to investigate if the M-100 Powderflight™ aeromechanical conveyor could be a potential solution for their conveying challenge.
In every customer project, UniTrak undertakes a detailed application review before proposing any solution. In this case, UniTrak representatives made an initial visit to Potter Group’s facility in Knowsley, which offloads, handles, stores, and ships pharmaceuticals. The purpose of this visit was to assess the application and material, together with the operating environment and space in which any solution would be implemented.
UniTrak decided to conduct a product test before recommending the M-100, or, indeed, any other equipment solutions.
The product test took place at UniTrak Powderflight’s manufacturing facility in Derbyshire, with the General Manager of Potter Group Logistics in attendance. A sample of the actual product to be conveyed was used in the test. The test was successful, validating the M-100 Powderflight as the best choice for the corn cob grit application.
Like all UniTrak solutions, the Potter Group’s Powderflight conveyor was built-to-order, with every feature custom selected for the specific application. It included:
• Outriggered bearings prolong bearing life
• Twin tension screws ensure easy adjustment for maintenance
• A geared motor drive allows for speed selection to optimize performance and prolong life
• Optional integral feed screw offers low headroom in-feed solutions, as well as consistent feeding of different materials
• A dust hood (a dust containment option) conforms to all health and safety requirements
• An inspection hatch provides easy access for cleanout and for adjusting rope tension
• Frame construction can be mild steel or stainless steel
• Standard or tailor-made infeed arrangements optimize performance
