Keymas get Carter moving
April 1st 2005

Refrigerated display cabinet manufacturer, Carter Retail Equipment, says it is “reaping the benefits of improved workflow, safer working environment and reduced in transit product damage,” since Keymas supplied three mezzanine floors and assisted in developing an assembly line conveyor at its new premises.

Winning a competitive tender, keymas proposed a system based on a single 40m long twin chain powered roller conveyor in the assembly and testing areas, below one of the mezzanine floors.

It was designed to sit on the floor and provide a conveying height of just 150mm, while also supporting non-slip surfaced in-fill plates for cleanliness and safety reasons.

An electric test zone was built into the system and fitted with a pneumatically operated lifting device that helped ensure electrical isolation of the display cabinet from the conveyor.

Keymas also designed, built and installed the control system which controlled the raising and lowering of the pneumatic devices, plus timed indexing of the product on the conveyor.
