The Paramount Roto-Feeder design replaces problematic conveyor belts
beneath production machines. Its secret lies in a regulated transfer of
waste into a single high velocity conveying duct, serving up to ten
converting machines. The waste from each converting machine is fed
through the Roto-Feeder directly into a main air duct mounted in a
floor trench below the converting machines. The conveying fan can be
located within a pit in a convenient location at the end of the row of
production machines or even remotely. The system avoids the need for
noisy fans adjacent to each production machine or belt conveyors that
can jam with waste. Roto-Feeder systems are sealed negative pressure
units that ensure all waste dust entering the system remains there, not
escaping into your plant.
Because the waste is extracted by ducted air, the Roto-Feeder system
can include changes of direction, so machines can be positioned to best
fit your plant layout, not forced into a straight line as with a belt
conveyor. This allows the design of your plant to be simplified and
space saved.
A system of Roto-Feeders on a single high capacity conveying duct can
replace up to ten separate conveying fans and dust systems. This leads
to substantial simplification, cost and power savings as well as
reduced maintenance requirements. Conventional belt conveyors are
notoriously difficult to maintain and over the years tend to suffer
from poor reliability, high maintenance costs and downtime - problems
which increase dramatically for longer belts. Roto-Feeders have only
one slow moving part in contact with waste. These units provide maximum
reliability with low maintenance requirements, allowing production
machines to operate at maximum capacity, 24 hours a day. A single large
diameter high power conveying duct ensures there are no blockages to
the waste.
"House-keeping" dust suction points, allowing operators to efficiently
remove dust from the machine, can be readily incorporated - a very
useful facility paricularly within a food quality box plant.
- Highly reliable waste transfer
- Sealed negative pressure system avoids dust or waste leaks
- Reduces running costs
- Clear production area using one floor trench for all
ancillary services
- Additional production machines can be easily added without
disrupting production
- A clean working environment for a food quality production
