Improve operational savings and increase productivity
Consider these stats:
67%
reduction in conveyor maintenance costs by reducing carryback from 3% to 1%
30%
energy savings due to reduced friction on the conveyor Sources: Habasit American (DuraSurf STS) and NIOSH Mining Safety
Partner with CB to apply heavy-duty conveyor best practices in parts and operations to:
- Reduce maintenance
- Cut downtime
- Decrease parts procurement costs
- Improve overall business operations
Start saving
Manufacturer benefited from $95,000 in immediate cost savings and lowered projected operating overhead
CB collaborated with a large steel manufacturer to audit each conveyor system in their plant. Leveraging our proprietary software to measure belt tension against conveyor requirements and usage patterns, we found that 52% of the conveyor systems were over-belted; the installed belting was too heavy to optimize system performance.
A CB technician recommended a Value Fit belt solution to improve system performance. When the system was operational at peak efficiency, it immediately saved the manufacturer $95,000. Going forward, projections show significantly reduced yearly operating costs.
