      Foundations for Conveyor Safety Book

      For the first time ever, you'll be able to calculate your Return On Conveyor Safety™ with our compilation of worldwide best practices. Conveyors are one of the best productivity-enhancing tools available, but conveyor injuries cost employers millions of dollars annually. The main hazards related to belt conveyors are mechanical, including moving components that can cause damage by entrapment in nip points, abrasion and burns, as well as pinching zones that can cause damage by shearing and crushing. All of these hazards are preventable with the right training, preparation and safety precautions. Because of the size of their material cargos, the speed of their operation, and the amount of energy they consume and contain, conveyors have shown to be a leading cause of industrial accidents, including serious injuries and fatalities. In the last 10 years, safety has come to the forefront. Governing bodies are expanding regulatory pressures and requirements and enforcing large fines for violators. Martin Engineering works side-by-side with experts in all the industries we serve worldwide who are fully committed to the safety of their employees. These relationships, developed over the last 70+ years, have given us a unique perspective on the role that conveyor safety has in a company's success. We've gathered this collection of worldwide best practices together in a single resource, to demonstrate the methodology behind calculating the Return On Conveyor Safety™ so you can quantify the true value of conveyor safety. The Foundations™ for Conveyor Safety book is the world's first collection of worldwide best practices and joins our Foundations™ series of books and seminars. This comprehensive 300+ page textbook is devoted exclusively to conveyor safety.

    2. Free flow valves

      Free flow valves

      Barl free-flow flap are used as sealing flaps underneath bins or inside pipelines and ductwork. When open, the entire inside diameter of the valve opening can be utilised without hindrance. The free-flow valves are used for discharging powdery and fine-grained bulk materials with a great variety of physical properties. Free-flow flap valves are used for the complete and residue-free emptying of bins and containers. They operate with short opening and closing cycles. The free-flap valves are pressure-tight, standard design: < 0.5 bar and product-tight to the outside. In the design with flexible flap seal, heatproof to max. 200° C, the valves are pressure-tight and product-tight to 0.2 bar in the gate area. Adjustable stuffing boxes are as standard as the outside bearing. The cleaning covers integrated as a standard feature ensure quick and easy cleaning. A special design which is pressure surge resistant to the outside is also available.

    3. Fully automated filter press AF1200

      Fully automated filter press AF1200

      We are particularly proud of our AF filter machines. The fully automatic press is a mature and reliable system that has already proven itself many times under the toughest conditions. It is available in 5 sizes (plate format 470/630/800/1000 and 1200). Compared to our competitors in the market, the difference we offer lies in myriad details and, primarily, in the definition of 'fully automatic operation'. The AF filter machine continuously produces and empties filter cakes without the presence of an operator. It is guaranteed that no medium can escape in an uncontrolled manner. This does not happen often with conventional filter presses, but it does happen every now and then. This is unacceptable in unsupervised operation and must be prevented. In addition to the sometimes considerably reduced operating costs, the investment is usually only slightly higher than with a conventional chamber or membrane filter press. Through higher services per available square metres of filter area, it can be used with a smaller automatic filter. The machine availability of up to 98% is definitely impressive.
