HOW IT STARTED…
Our conveyors were originally designed to operate in cement plants which have abrasive cement dust just about everywhere. The initial application was for high speeds of up to 250 feet per minute, with starts and stops required 3-4 times per minute, all while operating 24/7 for approximately 320 days per year.
After two years of operating, we called the plant to ask how many times they had to replace the belts on that conveyor because we had another customer interested in the same application. Two days later they called back and said the conveyor was running on the original belt and that the only maintenance they did to the conveyor was lubricate the external bearings. We were surprised, because from our experience the chain-driven live roller conveyors we were typically using would have likely been rebuilt several times in that period.
This lead us to redesign all of our roller conveyors to be belt-driven live rollers with carbon fiber reinforced synchronous belts. The long-term results have been amazing and our customers have been very happy. Over the years we have perfected our design and manufacturing methods to further improve quality and performance while also reducing cost.
So, if you are spending too much time and money maintaining and rebuilding conventional chain-driven roller conveyors with new sprockets and chains? Replace them with Performance Conveyors, which outlast chain-driven roller conveyors in normal or tough environments, such as cement plants, without the need for high maintenance.
HARSH DUTY CAPACITY
Designed to operate in harsh environments, such as cement plants, and resistant to abrasive particles. Our new generation of poly-powered roller conveyors are built for high-performance, heavy-duty uses, and extreme work requirements.
We can adapt our conveyor products to withstand a wide range of environmental factors in order to meet your unique material handling needs.
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE LIFE
Typical chain-driven roller conveyors use parts made from materials that need replaced often. These older technologies use roll-to-roll chain drive systems, which will stretch over time depending on the application.
Our poly-powered performance conveyors are built to last. Made from high quality material that endures. From day one to several years of operating, the carbon fiber reinforced belts have minimal stretch compared to chain-driven live roller conveyors. Also, we have take-ups that can compensate for any stretch that could occur.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Other conveyors that use roller chains will stretch over time and have metal sprockets that wear down. They also require frequent lubrication to operate effectively.
Performance Conveyors uniquely designs our conveyors to use poly-carbon belt-driven power, which eliminates the need for extensive maintenance and costly replacements.
QUIET OPERATING LEVELS
Often, the first thing people say about our conveyors is that they are very quiet!
Performance Conveyors are designed to perform smoothly and efficiently, eliminating outdated metal chain-driven technology. This increased standard in performance has also eliminated the higher levels of noise commonly associated with other conveyors.
QUALITY COMPONENTS
Performance Conveyors are produced with high quality fabrication, materials, and components to ensure you receive the best product we can offer.
Typical fabrication material options include: RA253MA, 304 SS, A36 HR, HRPO .250,
Our component brands include: Gates, OptiBelt, SEW, SKF, Timken, Dodge…
HIGH SPEED CAPABILITY
Performance Conveyors are designed to operate at a variable range of speeds, including high-speed applications.
We work with our customers to determine their minimum and maximum operating speed demands. Our conveyors are then customized to our customer’s specifications, ensuring that the speed requirements are within the desired range. The conveyor system’s components and parts are all optimized to make sure the entire system can meet or exceed these demands, while prioritizing quality and efficiency in design.
HEAVY LOAD CAPACITY
As a standard, Performance Conveyors are designed to withstand a heavy load capacity. The flexibility of our designs enables us to increase this capacity for a variety of heavy load needs, while maintaining performance and efficiency.
Work with us so we can design a heavy load conveyor solution to fit your needs. All details are open to customized options to ensure the unique material handling needs of each of our customers are met with satisfaction and accordance with our high standards.
CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
All of Performance Conveyors products are designed to be highly customizable in order to accommodate a wide range of material handling environment needs.
Whether your needs are big or small, we will work with you on the details to design a material handling conveyor system that suits your operations. Everything from size, material, speed, color, and more can be fully optimized for your product. Don’t worry, though. If the options are too overwhelming, our experts can also offer a solution based on their expertise that will fully satisfy the application requirements.
