Controlling The Costs Of Bottle Conveying

Bottle producers have relied on inverted tooth conveyor chains for several decades to transport bottles in both hot end and cold end applications. These chains offer many benefits in glass conveying; they are durable, smooth running, heat resistant and provide a flat, uniform, non-slip conveying surface. When properly sized, sources, installed and maintained they can provide years of trouble-free conveying. In this article, William C Hall explains how the costs of operating such systems can be minimised by following some key guidelines.
