At one busy airport, the slowest part of security wasn't the screening. It was the conveyors.

https://hubs.ly/Q04tJS1M0

Bags kept getting caught in the transfer points around the X-ray scanners. Long shoelaces, limp bag straps, lanyards, even clothing spilling out of suitcases would snag and stall the line.

Some of those transfers were difficult to access for screening security staff, so clearing a jam meant waiting on a certified technician who wasn't always nearby.

The fix? Implementing Flexco’s Segmented Transfer Plates.

The result? Less unscheduled downtime and a scanning system that keeps moving at the rate of their travelers.

Most BHS lines have a transfer point that is quiet on the surface, but loud on the time sheet. A Conveyor Optimization Visit is how you find yours.

🥜 Peanut butter sticks to more than the roof of your mouth 🥜

Peanut-butter-based candy is a trick-or-treat staple, and on a conveyor, peanut butter is one of the most stubborn products there is. It's dense, oily, and tacky.

That's why one cleaner often isn't enough. A primary cleaner at the head pulley takes off the bulk of it, but a secondary cleaner behind it catches the film and smaller residue the primary leaves behind.

Everything collecting on that blade is product that would otherwise end up on return rollers, in the frame, and on the next sanitation crew's list.

Where do small packages go when they slip between rollers?

Envelopes, polybags, and small parcels have a way of dropping into roller gaps, where they get stuck, damaged, or lost from the sort entirely. Roller Conveyor Transfer Plates (RCTPs) from Flexco float between the rollers to cover that gap, giving light and flexible items a continuous path to their destination. The low-friction material stands up to wear and impact, and the bright yellow color makes every plate easy to spot during inspections.

Up close, it's a smooth ride from one roller to the next.

🍫 Halloween runs on chocolate 🍫

Americans are expected to spend $4.1 billion on Halloween candy this year, according to the National Retail Federation. Much of it is chocolate.

Chocolate is also one of the toughest products to keep off a belt. It softens in a warm plant, smears instead of breaking away, and leaves a film that gets thicker with every pass. Whatever makes it past the head pulley rides the return side and ends up on rollers, frames, and the floor.

The job at the head pulley is to peel product off the belt before it has a chance to carry back.
Flexco Food Grade Belt Cleaners are built for sticky, high-residue products like chocolate.

Consistent blade contact keeps the belt clear while the line keeps moving.

One uncovered transfer point can stop an entire BHS line.

https://hubs.ly/Q04tM9PG0

Does this sound familiar?

A bag, strap, or FODgets stuck in the gap between two conveyors. The bags behind it pile up. A worker reaches in to clear it while the belt is still running. A delayed passenger and a safety exposure are all created in the same three feet of BHS.

It doesn’t have to.

Segmented Transfer Plates allow bags to glide from one belt to the next without catching (even with loose straps or tags), so no one has to reach into a moving line to fix a jam.

On-time bag delivery and worker safety, solved at the same point.

Conventional rip detection was built for a narrow fraction of conveyors. Flexco Elevate® Belt Rip Prevention takes a different route: one unit in the motor control cabinet, current transformers on each phase, and nothing mounted along the belt.

What does a steel cord splice look like when the job is done?

This FXC™ Steel Cord Belt Fastening System splice was installed at an iron ore operation, about as demanding a proving ground as a belt can face.

Every FXC™ splice kit is made for the specific belt it goes on, built from the belt's rating, cord diameter, cord pitch, and width, so the fit is dialed in before the crew ever arrives on site. As a temporary splice, it carries material at normal operating levels, keeping ore moving while the permanent splice is planned.

Built for your belt and ready for the heavy stuff.

A monitoring system like this should cost a fortune, right?

Watch the free webinar: https://hubs.ly/Q04xfbwy0

At one UK quarry, a liner came loose from the primary crusher and dropped onto the belt. Flexco Elevate® Belt Rip Prevention picked up the event as it happened and stopped the belt within 0.2 seconds and the rip only ran 12 meters. Without monitoring, the site estimated it would have run closer to 100. Their own return-on-investment calculation put the savings from that single event at more than £700,000 in avoided cleanup, repair, downtime, and missed deliveries.

Tolga Meister and Bruno Damasceno cover this case and the economics behind the system in our new webinar.
