Two Specials in One

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

AS65 with Cutout Frame

Today we shipped a set of AS65 conveyors that contained two unique modifications from our specials engineering department: a cutout in the frame and a gang drive system. Our customer requested the cutout to allow a robot arm to pass under the conveyor; even our normal low profile wasn’t enough in this case. Our specials engineering team added a set of idlers on either side of the cutout to raise the belt tight against the frame.

The gang drive allows the two conveyors to operate using a single drive, and ensures that their indexing is synchronized. The part being conveyed straddles the top of both conveyors. A shaft (under the slotted guard) transfers power from the motorized conveyor to the non-motorized one.

Gang Driven AS65

We welcome special applications like this, and have a team of specials engineers dedicated to finding the right solution for any application.

I’ve put together a brief video on our Automation Series conveyors so you can see some of the unique new features in action, especially the Tension Release Tail and the Pivot™ Rotatable Drive.

This is the first video we’ve put together in HD, so let us know what you think.

Giving the term “Mini Conveyor” a whole new meaning

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
13" long, 4" wide mini conveyor

Low profile conveyors are often referred to as “mini conveyors”, but this conveyor we’re shipping today gives the concept a whole new meaning. At 13″ long, 4″ wide and 1.89″ high, it’s one of the smallest conveyors we’ve ever shipped — especially to South Korea.  소형 컨베이어 미국에서 만드는

QC Industries Conveyors Moving Dry Ice

Monday, March 24th, 2008

125 Series Conveyors in dry ice pressThe 125 Series belt conveyors shown here under a CO2 Air, Inc. dry ice press use a -45°F silicone release belt specified by Southern Industrial Equipment (SIE). CO2 Air, Inc. is a leading dry ice and liquid CO2 manufacturer shipping equipment worldwide. Chris Kupronis, an Application Engineer with SIE, said the extremely cold temperatures led to some challenges that had to be worked through. For instance they had to place heat tape on the holes so any condensation would not flash freeze on the conveyor. The silicone belt is also critical with the temperature as low as it is.

CO2 Air Inc. offers a new RF-1800HD press which is capable of making 1800 pounds per hour of one pound 5” x 5” x 3/4” ice blocks (the standard size piece). The press is designed to make up to 6 pieces per stroke. They were kind enough to mention that the QC Industries conveyors have been working very nicely where our competitors had failed.

Xtreme Steam endorses QC Industries conveyors

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Gabriel Perez of Xtreme Steam

“We love how the QC Industries conveyors hold up. They are a high quality conveyor and the InnerDrive system is simple to use and keeps the entire conveyor low profile, not just the frame area,” said Gabriel Perez of Xtreme Steam in Atlanta, Georgia.

We had a chance to catch up with Gabriel last week at West Pack. Xtreme Steam (and QC Industries) will be exhibiting at South Pack in Charlotte, March 19th and 20th.

In Gabriel’s demo he dumps chocolate and ketchup on the conveyor and the steam cleaning system cleans it away leaving the conveyor belt nice and dry. If you ever see Xtreme Steam at a show, take a minute to watch the demonstration; he does a great job. You’ll probably agree with me that this guy needs his own infomercial!
