Packaging – SMAC Faster than substantial pneumatic supplier

Linear ActuatornnrnnnPackaging – Faster than substantial pneumatic suppliernn SMAC was specified to replace pneumatic supplier at the leading North American manufacturer of Mac and Cheese. LAL300-100. Reason? Cycle speed. We run at 400 CPM, air cylinder set runs at about 50% of that and cycle life 10X plus. We were specified to use by the end user. The company building the machines is one of the top 5 packaging machine builders in North America.nnrnnn This packaging success is just one of many reasons SMAC is the top choice for many ejecting – diverting apps due to :nnrnnnnn

nnnnrnnn The cycle life aspect is important as we will last >10 longer. Customers will appreciate this over time by the customer. It will NOT be appreciated by the competition who have substantial replacement sales.

A Closer Look at the GUF-P 2000 Belt Conveyor from mk North America

Customization. Durable. High Quality. Quick Delivery. These are all perfect descriptors for the GUF-P 2000 belt conveyor line from mk North America.The GUF-P 2000 belt conveyor is the most popular conveyor sold by mk. With nine different drive options, six different idler options, three standard motors options, and dozens of standard side rail and support options – there are nearly limitless ways to configure a GUF-P 2000 conveyor. End drives and mid drives are available, as well as standard idlers and nose bars for small product transfers. Need a flush idler assembly to fit into your machine? Not a problem with the GUF-P 2000. Side mount drives and overhead drives are also very popular.

Conveyor belts are supplied by leaders in the belting industry and come in a variety of materials, finishes, and as flat, or cleated belts. This level of customization is unsurpassed in the conveyor industry. In addition mk conveyors are compatible with the mk line of t-slot aluminum extrusion and components, allowing for quick and easy modifications – either before the conveyor ships or in your facility. mks experienced team of sales engineers are available to assist you and provide quotes on this belt conveyor as well any of the other 30+ conveyors that mk offers.nnrnnnAll mk conveyors are fully assembled and tested in-house prior to shipping. All mk conveyors go through a rigorous eighteen-point inspection and quality control process prior to shipping. Ensuring that when your conveyor order arrives, it is ready to be installed in your facility. Simply place, level, lag and wire it up and you are ready to go. Flat belt conveyors like the GUF-P 2000 are used in a variety of industries. They are the predominant conveyor for moving parts from A to B; but they can be much more than that. For example, GUF-P 2000 conveyors can be outfitted with cleats to space boxes for packaging operations in print and pharmaceutical industries.  The conveyors can be mounted to bases and pull products out of presses in the metal working or plastics industries. Machine builders can use them for a variety of purposes including elevating product into a bowl feeder.nnrnnnIn more custom applications, these conveyors can be equipped with LED light panels to create backlight conveyors. They popular in many industries and used specifically when an enhanced contrast between the part and the belt is required.  This contrast is used with both vision system interfaces and human visual identification.  The GUF-P 2000 belt conveyor can also be configured as a vacuum conveyor which are ideal for transporting product that needs to be held tight and fast to the belt or for conveying from above. When belt conveyors are mounted on their sides and run in parallel a set can be side gripper conveyors or “hugger” belts. With so many great features it’s no wonder that the GUF-P 2000 is mks #1 selling conveyor! Because of this, mk is able to offer competitive pricing and lead-times. Some GUF-P 2000 conveyors are able to ship in less than one week; whereas more complex and customized units require a minimum of 15 business days. Most models ship within six to eight days of order placement.
