When conveying products from one end of the facility to the final destination, there are windows where you can unload, sort, process, and direct the package or product to its destination. If a package gets stuck and does not get to the next destination, it will be returned to the system and will have to go around the conveyor so it can be sorted again. Missing or hitting those windows can mean the difference between making it on time or delaying the delivery by a full day. Flexco Segmented Transfer Plates help prevent product loss at the transfer point, eliminating the possibility of jammed packages and the potential damage to the product, as well as the belt and conveyor structure. Segmented Transfer Plates provide smooth transitions from one belt to another, from belt to chute, or from belt to structure. Segmented Transfer Plates have also been credited with increasing operator safety and reducing pinch hazards at the transfer point.
With today’s high speed automated conveyor package sortation systems, timely throughput of packages are critical. Through the innovative segmented plate design, Flexco Segmented Transfer Plates maximize system productivity while reducing conveyor belting related breakdowns and increasing worker safety, positively impacting the customer’s overall experience.
Missing or damaged packages, downtime to repair and replace conveyor parts, and the allocation of staff to address these challenges all affect an operation’s bottom line through the cost of increased manpower, unexpected maintenance costs, and decreased customer satisfaction can all be avoided with installation of the Flexco Segmented Transfer Plate.
