Questions we get asked
What capacity conveyor do I need?
Capacity comes from three numbers: the material's bulk density, the throughput you need in tonnes per hour, and the distance it has to travel. Send us those and the available floor space, and we will size it and confirm on a GA drawing. Our free belt and screw conveyor calculators will give you a first estimate before you call.
Which conveyor suits hot foundry sand?
A slat chain conveyor or a drag chain conveyor. A rubber belt will not survive hot sand for long. For furnace charging specifically, a hardfaced charging screw conveyor is the normal choice.
Do you supply food-grade stainless steel conveyors?
Yes. SS 304 for general food contact and SS 316 where there is salt or acid. We build them wash-down: open frames, sloped surfaces, no water traps, and belting in food-grade PU or modular plastic.
What is your delivery time?
One to twelve weeks depending on size and how much of the material is standard. A small roller conveyor can go out in a week or two; a bucket elevator or a full line takes longer. We confirm a date after the GA drawing is approved, not before.
Do you install and commission at site?
Yes — supply, erection, alignment, electrical hook-up and commissioning across India, with an AMC option after handover.
Can you build to our existing plant layout?
That is the normal way we work. Send measured dimensions or let us visit the site. Every machine is made to order, so a non-standard centre distance or an awkward discharge height costs nothing extra in design.
What is the difference between a screw conveyor and a drag chain conveyor?
A screw pushes material along with a rotating flight — compact, sealed, good for powders. A drag chain pulls material along the bottom of an enclosed trough with flights on a chain — better for abrasive, hot or lumpy material, and it handles higher tonnage per unit of wear.
Do you provide spares and annual maintenance?
Yes. We hold drawings for every machine we build, so a replacement shaft, pulley or flight can be made to the original dimensions. AMC covers scheduled inspection, belt tracking, chain tension and drive checks.
