Off-the-shelf linear motion
August 1st 2007 Manufacturers can now
make substantial savings on
conveyor belt cleaning
thanks to Keith Handy
Design. The company's
mobile Jet System, aimed
primarily at the food
processing sector automates
the task and enables mesh
belt conveyors of different
sizes to be served by a single
unit. The company says this
makes it cost-effective even
for smaller manufacturers.
Both structural support
and linear movement of the
steam generation head is
provided by a HepcoMotion
PDU2 Profile Driven Unit.
The robust unit combines
proven belt technology,
advanced materials
engineering and Hepco's
aluminium profile design
nous. It combines a slotted
profile into which fits a belt
drive and carriage. This
arrangement effectively
seals the unit and creates a
clean profile – which is
what attracted Keith handy
when designing the Jet
System.
"I expected to design the
linear system myself but
PDU2 fits the bill perfectly
and is available off-theshelf,"
Handy explains. "It's
neat, lightweight, compact
and allows the span of
movement to be adjusted
within a smooth profile."
