BURGESS PET CARE - Replacement of ground level conveyor in Zone 20 of the production plant, including relocation of drive end outlet pipe.

conveyor

The existing conveyor could no longer cope with the extruding pet food.

hopper

The conveyor ran under 13 hoppers which all needed to be supported.

The pipe would have to be moved to the other side of the elevator.

Access and time was limited but we began by dismantling the existing conveyor.

The new drive and conveyor supplied by Guttridge.

The new conveyor was now capable of 20 tph.

Now running smoothly, Burgess Pet Care could get back to production.

BRIEF:


Replacement of ground level conveyor in Zone 20 of Burgess Pet Care. 

EQUIPMENT:


Guttridge shrouded chain conveyor. 20tph.

PROCESS:


Burgess Pet Care had arranged for the factory to be shut down for a week while various upgrades around the site were carried out. Our engineers began by removing the existing drive and re-routing the outlet pipe to a more convenient entry and supported the connecting 13 hoppers. After removing the existing conveyor they then installed the bespoke made Guttridge equipment, ensuring all modifications were completed. All machines were tied in and ready to go before the week ended, meaning that Burgess could begin extruding pet food into the bins with better productivity and speed.
