Get a real number
Size my conveyor.
Six questions, about a minute. It gets us the four things that turn a range into a real quote — what you're moving, how fast, how high, and how much room you have.
What we need to know.
Have these to hand and the quote comes back with a layout rather than a question. Send them on the quote form and an engineer in Glasgow, Kentucky picks it up.
- What you are moving — product, its size and its weight, and whether it is stable on its base.
- How fast — units per minute, or the line rate you have to keep up with.
- How high — any change in level, and the headroom you have to do it in.
- How much room — the floor space and the shape it has to fit; a sketch or a floor plan is ideal.
- The environment — dry, wash-down, clean room, high temperature or ESD sensitive.
- What happens at each end — what feeds it, and what it feeds.
