Flexible and expandableAugust 1st 2007
PowerFlex powered flexible expandable roller conveyors from Best Diversified Products have been supplied TNT Express.
A carousel layout was used for rapid sortation, made easier as the PowerFlex powered conveyor could be used to create a circle in 7.3m of conveyor.
PowerFlex was suitable as the large rugged castors allowed for the unit to be quickly relocated, compacted (3:1 ratio) and stored away.
From the discharge end of the fixed conveyor, a second PowerFlex unit conveys the parcels into a 40ft trailor on the opposite side of the depot for onward despatch to the central hub.
Overall depot sorting time has been reduced by 30minutes per shift.
