Welcome Pharmaceutical & Medical Packaging News readers!
We are honored to be this week’s featured web sighting on Pharmaceutical and Medical Packaging News’ website. They are highlighting our new Conveyor Selection Guide on their homepage.
Join us at a trade show in 2008
This year should be the most exciting QC Industries has ever had exhibiting. We’ll be exhibiting in five shows in 2008. We have some surprises coming out this year you won’t want to miss.
We start the year heading west to West Pack in Anaheim, CA, January 29, 30 and 31st. We will then be exhibiting in Charlotte, NC at ATX South, March 19th and 20th. Next we move to New York on June 3rd, 4th and 5th for the East Pack show. In the fall we are excited to head back to the new Assembly Technology Expo — last year’s was the best show they have had in a long time and this year’s looks even better. That show is in Rosemont September 23rd, 24th and 25th. We will wrap up the year celebrating PMMI’s 75th Anniversary at one of the top 200 shows in the country, Pack Expo, at McCormick Place in downtown Chicago November 9–13.
Make your plans now to join us at one of these shows.

We came across this video that shows one of our 125 Series cleated belt conveyors used to transfer reams of paper into a shrink wrapping machine from Pro Pack Group.
We love seeing video of our conveyors in action. If you have videos you’d be willing to share, drop me a line at cthompson at qcindustries dot com.

One of our long-time customers, Tella Tool, is featured in the January edition (PDF link) of Metalforming Magazine. Our 250 Series Center Drive Conveyors form an integral part of their portable automated inspection stations, which have virtually eliminated the defective parts that were being delivered to Tella’s customers.
The inspection stations were designed by distributor Gem Automation to visually inspect automotive frame rails for improperly inserted nuts and bolts. The bad parts are pushed off the line into a locked box for later disposal. The stations can be moved quickly from press to press and configured to detect a wide variety of parts and features.

But we were able to get where we needed to be.”
