Transfer Point Solutions

Materials slipping from conveyors occur frequently. This happens when material leaks and spills past the discharge point and down the return conveyor from the carryback or transfer point which is attached to the belt. It can also appear as dust in the air that blows off and lands on buildings, machinery, and the ground.

Carryback falls beneath the conveyor, spillage falls sideways, and dust falls in any direction, including the systems and structures above the conveyor. If left uncontrolled, the fugitive material will continue to drain the conveyor’s efficiency, productivity, and profitability.

Materials loss from the conveyor system cost the plant in many ways, such as reduced operating efficiency, increased conveyor maintenance costs, lower plant safety, deprived employee morale, poor product quality, and increasing scrutiny from outside agencies.

Bulk material handling processes can operate securely, effectively, and cleanly with the appropriate structure and maintenance. Martin Engineering’s Transfer Point Products can assist in reducing equipment damage, fewer cleanups, and minimizing maintenance costs, improving overall plant safety by eliminating spills and airborne dust. Martin Engineering is more than just an equipment maker. The company focuses on enhancing transfer point efficiency.

The efficiency of a belt conveyor system can be measured by the quality of its transfer points. A good transfer point ought to have the following components:
