One of Texas’ largest vinyl floor tile manufacturers has a constant need for raw product delivery to various blending and heating machines that requires a fast reliable source for custom conveyor.

The factory (an older facility that has expanded many times over the years) is a maze of ducts, chutes, conveyors and elevators in various sizes and diameters. There are no “off-the-shelf’ parts that engineers can order from a catalog—this facility requires TSM to provide custom conveyor on a regular basis to keep product flowing. The facility also has a constant need for custom conveyor whenever new process line configurations occur. These conveyors must be built to the customer’s rugged standards in order to withstand the harsh environment.

In order to facilitate rapid changeovers this customer relies on TSM for custom conveyor and design that can be built to spec and delivered in time for the change of flow. Special attention has to be given to interior welds and finishes so as not to impede the flow of fine granular product. Extra care also goes into design and fabrication to ensure squareness and fit so as not to cause problems during installation. Custom conveyor made by experienced craftsmen helps this customer meet critical delivery dates.

The illustration shows a custom three-roll belt conveyor that was built and installed in a very short turnaround time. This example of custom conveyor demonstrates TSM’s ability to design, build, and install in a manner that consistently meets the customers’ deadlines.
