Equipment Spotlight Updates in conveyor systems to move Canadian biomass Staff Report MARTIN ENGINEERING Moving mass A new powered conveyor belt tracker from Martin Engineering delivers imme-diate and continuous precision adjust-ment of hard-to-track reversing convey-ors, helping operators reduce spillage and extend the life of belts and other system components. The robust unit has demonstrated greater durability and longer service life than previous designs, translating to a reduced cost of owner-ship. Versatile enough to run on 110V / 220V power or a plant’s existing com-pressed air, the Martin Tracker Reversing can even be specified with the company’s unique Roll Gen System, which uses the kinetic energy of the moving belt to pro-duce a supply of electricity. www.martin-eng.com KEITH MANUFACTURING CO. It eliminates brooms and manual tarps, re-ducing the risk of injuries. A working sweep system is the best way to ensure driv-ers never climb into the trailer, which pres-ents several safety concerns, including strains and falls. Payload cross contamina-tion is minimized and the lightweight sys-tem takes up virtually no payload. It is also easy to install and operate, with the battery charging off the trailer’s power. www.keithwalkingfloor.com CINTASA AMERICAS KEITH Manufacturing Co. introduces the newest accessory for its Walking Floor self-unloading system for trailers. The Elec-tric CleenSweep tarp system “sweeps” out the residual material as the trailer unloads. Consisting of a fixed belt conveyor with a tripper car moving on rails located on the conveyor frame, this design from Cintasa Americas is a good option for distributing material to various interme-diate points between the conveyor pul-leys. Material is distributed on either one or both sides of the conveyor by an elec-tric or pneumatic by-pass to select the discharge side. Conveyor width, height, capacity and transport speed depends on the product and specific needs of each in-stallation. In addition, a reversible con-veyor can be installed on the tripper to distribute material at greater distances, creating more volume of stock. www.cintasa.com SAMSON Samson Materials Handling specializes in MAY/JUNE 2018 20 Canadian BIOMASS
