Modern medical technology requires the greatest precision and reliability, especially in the manufacturing and handling of sensitive devices such as syringes. The correct belt conveyor is crucial, as the following example shows.
A leading company in the development and manufacturing of medical devices, including surgical instruments and syringes, was looking for a way to optimize its production processes in order to increase efficiency and safety. The focus was on the integration of an advanced belt conveyor system that ensures the vertical and safe transport of syringes. The syringes coming out of the machine are to be transported to the next production stage via a belt conveyor. There they are collected and transported to a transfer system, which then sorts the syringes to the various dispensing points. The company found the right solution at Montech.
Safe, continuous, and efficient
This Swiss company specializes in the industrialization and standardization of state-of-the-art belt conveyors, and transfer systems, as well as innovative aluminum framing systems. With the KTB belt conveyor, Montech offers the perfect solution for safe and efficient syringe transport and continuous and uninterrupted production: It is designed to safely transport syringes vertically, with a maximum speed of up to 7.6 m/min. A smooth and controlled movement of the syringes during transport is ensured thanks to the brushless DC motor with center drive. Special side guides and belt supports position the syringes correctly and keep them upright throughout transport.
Increased productivity and maximized overall efficiency
Using the KTB belt conveyor brings the company many advantages. Reliable and continuous operation ensures production without interruption, which contributes to operational continuity. The improved safety protects the syringes from damage and contamination, reducing the risk of contamination to a minimum. The targeted and gentle transport minimizes waste and optimizes the use of resources. Overall, this results in increased productivity and maximized overall efficiency of the production process. In addition, the optimized design of the system provides an ideal adaptation to the customer’s specific requirements, which enables more efficient use of space and a smooth production process.
