Bespoke Conveyors for Plastic Extrusion Pipe-making
Case Studies
A catalogue of different pipe requirements
Without a doubt, sometimes only bespoke conveyors will do.
PJP recently supplied three bespoke conveyors to a major plastics extrusion company. The client supplies pipes for domestic and commercial settings. We needed to provide a system to take extrusion sections of pipe directly off the production line and deposit them into stillages for storage.
We call these types of conveyor “off-feed conveyors” since they moves items between different stages within the production line process. In this case, from manufacture to storage.
Heating, drainage and plumbing have various demands and require a multitude of different length pipes. For that reason, we created a moveable end-stop to allow different cut lengths of product to be handled.
We made the bespoke conveyors from a robust mild steel construction. We also engineered the conveyors to be mobile. This meant the conveyors could be moved between different production lines and offered maximum versatility and ROI for the customer.
Specially made electrical controls
To complement the system, PJP coupled the conveyors with specially designed electrical controls. Specifically, the controls allowed speed adjustments to be made on the conveyor system.
We built, then integrated the electrical controls with the customer’s own extrusion line machinery. Unquestionably, this offered a seamless customer solution.
Speedy delivery from the heart of England
The bespoke conveyors and electrical controls were designed and manufactured at PJP’s in-house facility in Nottingham.
The system was delivered without delay in an impressive 8 weeks from the order being placed.
