Ordering critical replacement parts for 2200 series conveyors is faster and easier than ever before, thanks to new Parts Kits from Dorner.

EXAIR's new 2-1/2 inch and 3 inch Heavy Duty Line Vacs are powerful in-line conveyors that transport high volumes of material through ordinary hose or tube. Designed for rugged, industrial applications, Heavy Duty Line Vacs have a hardened alloy construction that prevent premature wear when transporting abrasive or heavy materials like shot blast, tumbling media or metal fittings.

Conveyors are usually fundamental to the efficiency of manufacturing, warehousing and logistics operations and often they are built to a bespoke design. Adrian Wells of WDS Component Parts Ltd. looks at the most efficient ways to design and build conveyors that exactly meet specific user requirements.
