ProSort SRT Small Item Transfer Conveyor sorts totes, boxes, cartons & more
The ProSort SRT is designed with multiple narrow belts to transport
items and is equipped with right-angle pop-up rollers. The rollers pop
up between the belts to transfer items off the unit. The conveyor is
designed to handle and transfer small to medium-size items such as
boxes, cartons, totes, etc.

A
guide to specifying vertical reciprocating conveyors
VRC's provide fast, efficient, convenient and safe access to/from mezzanines, balconies, basements, and between levels in multiple story buildings. They can be installed for through-floor, interior or exterior applications. But when do they fit for you? And what are the issues you'll need to understand before you specify one? We have a brief article plus the MHIA 40+ page spec guide available to help you understand when, where and how to use these powerful handling devices...
Preconfigured structural mezzanines
Custom-designed mezzanines assemble quickly with the simplicity of
"erector set" construction to form rugged, high-load-bearing overhead
levels. Special steel components engineered for mezzanines lock together
to form a strong, unitized structure. Heavy-duty columns provide rigid
support, eliminating obstructing bracing and providing maximum
flexibility of movement and utilization of the lower level.
Of course, with a custom designed structural mezzanine, you can specify
almost any shape and size you want (I can come out & help you work it
out) but you can also browse through dozens of standard sizes available
on our website...
To cool your facility, you need a cool breeze, not a harsh wind
Reduce your energy costs and create a more effective, more
comfortable, and more productive working environment with a ceiling
mounted industrial fan. With very high ceilings and vast storage areas
that are ever changing due to stock and materials movement, warehouse
and distribution centers face ongoing temperature control battles during
the summer months - with or without air conditioning.
Also: if you're in the Dallas area, we have an HVLS fan installed in our
warehouse, and you're welcome to come by and check it out. Just get in
touch with me.
I Can Integrate This System Myself….Or Can I?
From Operations & Fulfillment Magazine: Let’s say, you're starting
to plan a material-handling project, which looks as if it will have some
conveyor, scanners, a pick-to-light area, a couple of label printers and
other miscellaneous equipment. The system also must interface with your
existing warehouse management system, enterprise resource planning, or
host system.
The integration can be done in one of three ways: you can do it
yourself, you can tell the hardware supplier that has the most content
that they are the systems integrator, or you can hire a company that
specializes in systems integration. Which way should you go?

You have good people in
maintenance, and they may have even attended a seminar on conveyors or
other material handling equipment. Why would you outsource conveyor and
material handling equipment maintenance? You do it when it makes
excellent business sense. Unless you have enough conveyor to justify one
or more full time people who will have to constantly attend training
seminars and read manuals, you may want to consider maintenance by a
third party...
