FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF CONVEYOR SYSTEM AND ITS COMPONENT

 

FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF CONVEYOR SYSTEM AND ITS COMPONENT

As far as manufacturing is concerned, we all are well aware now that conveyor belt systems have become an indispensable and non-negotiable component without which manufacturing and warehousing is just not possible in today’s scenario. But how often it is we consider the maintenance and check-up of the conveyors at regular intervals,  unless and until the machinery breaks down and brings the manufacturing and material handling to a standstill.

Conveyors also known as material-handling equipment requires a comprehensive system at regular intervals for its checkup and maintenance plan. All those moving components and parts wear out over time. Bearings, rollers, belts, pulleys, magnets, and motors etc. need inspection and occasional repair and replacement.

But What Are The Factors To Be Considered Before Repair And Replacement Of Conveyor Parts?

Conveyor belts might break in the middle of demanding production runs when downtime simply isn’t an option and may lead to heavy losses and non-fulfillment of orders on time.

Fortunately, there are a few parameters which we can keep in mind and get to know when to go for repair and replacement options and ultimately will help your organization in running faster.

1.      Service: Once the conveyor system is installed in the organization, make it a practice in your organization to get its services as and when scheduled without any fail and prior to its due date and maintain a separate record file for the same.

2.     Feedback from the Operator: The technical head of the organization must get the regular feedback from the operators because they are the people who are dealing and handling the conveyor systems and are the best people who can give the exact details on how the conveyors are working and if they are facing any issues or not?

3.     Timely Checkups: We understand that the check-up and maintenance is required but it is the time which matters the most. There is no point of maintenance when we ignore it for longer periods but till that time damage done is irreversible. So, ensure to get the machinery checkups at regular intervals.

4.     Budget Allocation:  When the machinery breaks down or any part or the component requires repair or replacement, it is obvious that it will be chargeable and would need some investment. Instead of arranging money at the last moment make it a habit of allocating a certain amount in advance for the repairs and replacements you might need for the entire year.

5.     Choose a Trusted Conveyor Solutions Provider: Primarily choose the trusted brand for buying of conveyor systems because these are the machineries your processes are highly dependent upon. Check if they provide after-sales service or not. What are their annual maintenance charges and what all they cover in that?

Once the conveyors are installed, keep in touch with your service provider to know about the latest trends, new conveyors, new technology, and any schemes or annual packages they are offering. 

Share the problems you are facing and let their team guide you whether you would require repair or replacement and take the action accordingly.

6.     Ensure Careful Handling of Conveyors: Do not take conveyor handling very lightly because many a time we have seen Conveyors are often misapplied for a variety of reasons, including the desire to keep the number of unique pieces of equipment to a minimum, going against the speed limit or weight capacities mentioned or overcrowding the conveyors as these things when practiced for longer periods of time damage the machinery badly and ultimately results in breakdown, slowdown resulting to a loss of money, production, and time.

INDIA’S GROWING DISTRIBUTION AND LOGISTICS MARKET

 

INDIA’S GROWING DISTRIBUTION AND LOGISTICS MARKET

Introduction

 

As per the  "Indian Logistics Industry Outlook, 2020" report-The logistics market in India is forecasted to foster at a CAGR of 10.5% between 2019 and 2025.

Distribution and Logistics plays a pivotal role in the economic growth of any country and we can say distribution and logistics acts as a spine for the smooth running of all businesses flourishing today. 

Logistics facilitate on-time delivery of goods and services, from a factory outlet to the end consumer, with minimum cost and maximum efficiency.  

India is a developing nation growing to become a developed nation soon and is expected to become one of the strongest economies in the near future, beating its competitors like China, US, etc. 

India is going and growing through a phase where things are changing rapidly at micro as well as macro levels. From taxation reforms to facilitating ease of doing business, to make in India campaign, we are witnessing the multifold transformation of India stepping towards building a brighter and a better India.

Key Driver’s for India’s growing Distribution

and Logistics Industry

Ø  Digitalization and Ecommerce:

There is no denying the fact that India is moving towards a digital India where a lot of people are shopping, paying, studying, making payments, placing orders, and doing a lot more activities on the digital platform. Digital means where thousands and lakhs of transactions are taking place in a fraction of seconds which automatically generates more demand for manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics.

Ø  Make in India Campaign:

The ‘Make in India’ campaign has boosted the potential of the country’s manufacturing sector. From catering to a mere 13-17% of the GDP, the government plans to raise the sector’s share to a quarter in the coming years. Make in India has boosted the manufacturing capabilities of the country with the new slogans for “Vocal for Local” “Support Local” etc.

Ø  GST: 

Major taxation reforms like GST has also given the economy the much-needed reform by giving the benefit of availing credits, saving from double taxation and hence resulting in more business opportunities, more transparency, more manufacturing and hence contributing to generating more demand for warehousing and logistics.

Ø  Ease of Doing Business and FDI (Foreign Direct Investment):

The government is trying to facilitate the ease of doing business by bringing in simpler laws, fewer compliances, digital and transparent approvals, and removing all the bottlenecks people used to face in doing business.

Such reforms are attracting businessmen across the globe to open their plants in India and do more and more investment in India.

But are we ready for this Big Change coming our way?

-where we need efficient and world-class warehousing and logistics facilities for such huge material handling?

Shifting from manual and labor-intensive techniques to modern Conveyors Systems is the only answer for being ready to handle such huge material handling coming our way.

Conveyor systems are mechanical devices or assemblies that transport material from one place to another with minimal effort.

We at Saifi Automation understand that with the wide variety of materials, configurations, accessories, and sizes, we need customized and need-based conveyor systems, and hence we manufacture the finest quality of different kinds of conveyor systems, they usually consist of a frame that supports either rollers, wheels, or a belt, upon which materials move from one place to another.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE MATERIAL HANDLING SOLUTION THE RIGHT WAY?

 

HOW TO CHOOSE THE MATERIAL HANDLING SOLUTION THE RIGHT WAY?

In today’s scenario where the production of thousands of goods is taking place in just a few seconds and industries are required to handle huge quantities of materials, it becomes a matter of concern, how an organization should choose the right material handling solution.

Undoubtedly, material handling is a necessary component of any flexible manufacturing system and we all agree that the conveyors are the machines which organizations can use to efficiently handle the materials. But today in this blog, we are going to discuss how to choose the right conveyor for your organization wisely to yield the maximum returns.

We at Saifi Automation understands that with the wide variety of materials, configurations, accessories, and sizes, choosing a conveyor system can be an overwhelming and exhausting task. Also, once the investment is made it becomes an irreversible decision.

No doubt, these machines reduce the need for manual labor and increase the pace of progress in any application they are a part of but only when they are chosen wisely.

Following are the things you should follow while opting to purchase the right conveyor system?

1.     Understand the requirement of your Business

Primarily, before choosing the right conveyor solution system, first assess whether your organization is actually requiring a conveyor solution system or not. You can consider the following factors to understand the requirement – like the product you manufacture, quantities you need to manufacture, whether manufacturing is seasonal or round the year, the weight of the products you deal with and the number of orders, you need to fulfill during the year.

For example, you need to manufacture your product in huge quantities and get bulk orders then you must plan to invest in a good conveyor system to make your work easier, faster and error-free.

2.    Do not go by the words of the seller

Many times, we just rely on what our vendor is asking us to purchase instead of understanding the actual requirements of our business. It’s important to understand the necessity of any business equipment, you are planning to invest in.

For example, you just need a small conveyor solution for your type of business activity and you purchase big heavy machinery made to handle huge tons of weights, then it won’t be of any use to you and would result in a liability instead of an asset. So, don’t just go by the words of the seller and choose the conveyor systems wisely after considering the size, weight, design, functionality, modularity and the cost of the system which is most suited for your business operation.

3.    Different Conveyors for different Material Handling

Quite often, we make this blunder mistake thinking that all conveyors perform the same function. We need to know that there are different conveyors for different material handling and they cannot be substituted for one another. Here is a brief list of few conveyor solutions and material they handle, for your knowledge to know which conveyor is meant to handle what type of product.

Belt Conveyor

Belt Conveyor Systems are material handling systems that use continuous belts to convey products or material.

It maintains an endless loop through the belt enabling movement of materials on the belt.

Material Handling: Electronics /Carton Boxes/Tray Handling (transfer only).

Slat Conveyor

Slat conveyors are a type of conveying conveyor that utilizes a chain-driven loop of slats to move products from one of its ends to another. Standard slat conveyors are used throughout the industry to transport small to medium-sized objects that require orientation control and no accumulation

Material Handling: Wheeler Assembly/Heavy Weight Transfer

Chain Conveyor

Chain conveyors use an endless chain both to transmit power and to propel material through a trough, either pushed directly by the chain or by attachments to the chain.

Chain conveyors are primarily used to transport heavy unit loads.

Material Handling: pallets, grid boxes, and industrial containers -Truck/Bus/Car/Tractors assembly.

Idler Belt Conveyor

Idlers are the 'low friction sliding surface' over which an endless conveyor belt is 'dragged' by the drive pulley(s), and are vital to the conveying process as it enables a conveyor to operate for many thousands of hours without wearing out the belting.

Material Handling: loose material like powder and granules.

Modular Conveyor

Modular belts are made up of interlinking plastic modules. This creates ultimate strength with very low friction; making it a very desirable belt which is a great alternative to flat belting.

Material Handling: - Food processing/Hot temperature Products/ Chemicals Products/ Pharmaceuticals.

Roller Conveyor 

Roller Conveyors use parallel rollers mounted in frames to convey products. They may be powered by gravity, a motor or manually.

Material Handling: Heavy Weight transfer & assembly like Led/AC/Refrigerators/Washing Machines.

Hinge Conveyor

Hinge Belt Conveyor are the heavy-duty scrap handling and recycling conveyors and one of the most versatile of conveyors which can be used to handle nearly every kind of part and all types of scrap.

Material Handling: all types of scrap.

Wire Mesh Conveyors

Wire mesh belts are used in high temperature (baking, bakery, and snack food conveying) or freezing temperature (frozen food conveying) applications. 

Material Handling: They turn out to be the perfect choice for conveying hot, oily, or cold products.

Over Head Conveyors

Overhead Conveyors are the conveyors which tap the unused space of your warehouse and factory via a revolving, endless loop of the chain within a rigid track, or a straight run of trollies.

Material Handling: These conveyors are used for Paint Job/ Heavy Loads material movement/Bucket Transfers
