Reduction of Downtime and Product Loss

Introduction

• Customer background
  The company is a cigarette manufacturer
   
• Application
  Inclined conveyor for shredded wet tobacco leaves. The parameters of the conveyor are:
  - Belt length: 6600 mm
  - Belt width: 550 mm
  - Angle: 20°
   
• Challenge
  The customer was using belts which suffered from product slippage leading to inefficient conveying. There was also loss of production due to adhesion of the tobacco pieces to the belt surface, making it even more sticky and very dirty.
   
• Recommended products
  TPO coated belts, in particular P-Line tobacco conveyor and processing types
