Conveying a waste solutionOctober 1st 2006
When DHL Exel Supply Chain extended a two tier mezzanine level in its loading bay it was faced with increasing the efficiency of its existing manual waste system.
Diamond Phoenix was brought on board to design and implement a new waste conveyor system. They needed a design that would save time, incorporate safety devices and recognise any box blockages to ensure that the system ran at a constant rate.
The system has now been successfully installed; it has a shoot to accept waste from conveyors on two levels, that in turn transfers waste onto a ground floor conveyor; this is then transferred into the waste compactor. The system has also been designed to take extra takeaway conveyors as productivity expands.
