In various industries, materials keep flowing from one point to another, either for processing, storing, or delivering the end product. However, material handling is no longer about transporting materials from one point to another. Managing the flow effectively, minimising wastage, and ensuring smooth operation are very crucial. To understand this clearly, it is important to…
In numerous industries, a product will go through several stages before it arrives at its final form. During these processes, metallic particles can enter the material stream due to things like equipment wear, handling, and external contaminants. If the particles remain in the material stream and are not removed in a timely manner, they will…
Scrapyards work in extremely fast environments as they are required to efficiently and rapidly process scrap metals in large quantities. Whether it is heavy structural steel or small fragmented scrap, everything goes through sorting, lifting and processing. Even a little bit of inefficiency can create significant losses, longer processing time, and decreased profitability of the…
Every day, scrap yards deal with high volumes of mixed metals. Because of the nature of mixed metals, it is very difficult to perform operations efficiently. Scrap frequently comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and conditions, so to manage it, basic tools prove ineffective. Many yards have unevenly piled scrap, making it difficult to…
Keeping the raw materials clean and free from contaminants is of utmost importance in industrial material handling. During processing, unwanted metal particles can get mixed with the raw materials due to wear and tear of the machinery, handling procedures, or scrap materials. If such particles are not removed on time, they can cause serious damage…
In many industries, raw materials go through various stages of processing, such as conveying, crushing, screening, and sorting, before they are processed for the final stage of production. During transportation, small metal fragments may be mixed with the raw material. The fragments may come from worn-out parts of machines, rivets, or scrap metal, among other…
The recycling of scrap metals has become a vital part of the modern metal industry. The steel factories, foundries, and manufacturing industries rely on recycled metals as a source of raw materials. Every day, a large quantity of discarded machines, structural steel, vehicle parts, and industrial waste is available in the scrap yards. They are…
In heavy industries, the safe transfer of large pieces of metal is a daily activity. Industries such as steel plants, fabrication yards, ports, and scrap yards require efficient systems to lift steel plates, billets, and mixed scrap materials. Hooks and chains are used to lift these materials. However, in situations where lifting is to be…
Industrial processing plants deal with raw materials that are not always clean. Whether mining, crushing, grinding, conveying, or recycling, there is always a possibility that small metal pieces enter the material stream. This could be due to worn-out equipment, damaged equipment parts, conveyors, and mixed scrap. Unless these metal pieces are removed at the appropriate…
Metal contamination in bulk material handling is one issue that different industries have to deal with, although this may not be immediately apparent. For example, a piece of iron mixed in raw material could lead to machine damage or higher repair costs. For certain industries that require high product purity, such as the food or…
