QC Conveyors yesterday announced the launch of its latest innovation, the heavy-duty AS80 conveyor system. The Batavia, Ohio-based company said it engineered the AS80 for precision, versatility, and to maximize efficiency in a wide range of materials handling applications.
“We are thrilled to introduce the AS80 conveyor system to the market,” stated David Hummel, vice president and general manager of QC Conveyors. “With its unmatched performance and reliability, the AS80 represents the next generation of material handling solutions, allowing businesses to achieve new levels of efficiency and productivity.”
QC Conveyors is a leading manufacturer of conveyors and integrated systems, specializing in in low-profile designs, durable and reliable technologies, and modular plastic chain conveyors. It offers quick-ship conveyors, easy-to-configure equipment, and custom integrated systems.
The Duravant company added that it has served many of the world’s most recognized brands in the food and beverage, consumer packaged goods (CPG), foodservice, automotive, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
AS80 conveyor built for versatility
Boasting the widest, longest, and strongest aluminum frame in QC Conveyors’ lineup, the AS80 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industries, said the company. Capable of moving heavy loads of up to 600 lb. (272.1 kg), the AS80 is suitable for a variety of applications, from robotics to automotive and more, according to QC Conveyors.
Like all QC Conveyors’ products, the AS80 offers a low profile, standing at just 3.81 in. (9.6 cm). The system comes in widths ranging from 6 to 36 in. (15.2 to 91.4 cm) and lengths up to 40 ft. (12.1 m). It supports speeds up to 535 ft. (163 m) per minute (2.7 m/s).
AS80 conveyors feature a crowned pulley, taking advantage of each belt’s tendency to run centered on the longest part of the conveyor. This ensures consistent belt tracking and maximum belt life, said the company. V-Guided belts are available for conveyors with side loading or side exiting.
