New Lazy Susan rotary table for £1600
UPM Conveyors has developed a new version of its rotary table (Lazy Susan) with benefits in a range of different applications. It can operate as an integrated part of a product handling system, for example. It can also act as a standalone unit to provide a buffer when required for accumulating and unloading product, whilst also ensuring total evacuation.
>The Lazy Susan incorporates variable speed control as standard, and is offered for £1600, which UPM reckons is the most competitive price on the market. An optional Extra is the overhead mounted multi adjustable product flow orientation guide to ensure first-in-first-out product motion. UPM guarantees the elimination of any operator trap points as the underside of the table is totally enclosed and conforms to all Health and Safety at Work Acts.
>UPM Launched the Lazy Susan at the EasyFairs show which resulted in several orders from contract packers. Order for 30 units were taken, with the purchasers looking to improve operational efficiency and ensure better staff utilisation.
>In feed and out feed belt conveyors can also be supplied from a standard range of plastic link belts which include 90 and 180 degree bends allowing versatility into a production area where space is limited. In addition, UPM can custom engineer a system at no extra cost as all manufacture is carried out in-house including fabrication programming and control build allowing complete control of quality; inspection and maintaining delivery promises.
>UPM was awarded the Queens Award for Innovation in its production of High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMWPE) belt conveyors. This has now been extended to the range of Rotary tables which are available in a variety of diameters.
