Reliability key in postal applications

When optimising logistic processes, one of the most critical aspects is the reliability of the individual machines, especially so when handling post in various sizes and materials, says Ambaflex.

One of Europe’s largest national postal services needed to expand in order to manage an increase in volume but wanted to be sure every single piece would be processed on time without fail.

When these items; envelopes, packages, pouches, and polybags have to go up or down a level, you need a 100% reliable vertical elevator that can handle the bulk as there are little to no windows of time to undertake maintenance and repairs. Postal services run almost 24/7 and are very time critical.

The AmbaFlex SpiralVeyor extended belt or ‘SVe’ for short is an extremely reliable spiral conveyor with multiple chains and tracks to ensure it can handle the extreme loads coming in, both in weight as in size. Being able to distribute the pull force needed to transport the products over two or more chains and sets of roller bearings also decrease wear and tear on the moving parts which in turn increases up-time and lowers the costs of ownership.
