PRODUCT & SERVICES NEWS
 

NEW STEEL PALLETS SOLVE INDUSTRY PROBLEMS

 

Steel pallets are preferred for a heavy traffic environment.  Anytime you have the increased potential for a high volume of product (pallets) to be shipped/handled, steel pallets come into play and are preferred over wooden skids.  They are stronger, more durable, and will provide the rigidity needed to help reduce the probability of product being damaged during transit.  Steel pallets are great for a closed loop application.  They can solve inherent problems with plastic pallet designs.  For international shipping it is also preferred due to information on fumigation not being needed.

 
Features:
  • 4 gauge wire- 2x4 mesh pattern
  • Heavy Duty ¼”x2” steel runner bars
  • 4,000# floor rated/2,500# rack rated
  • Preferred for international shipping
 
 
 

Quick system retrofit creates productivity benefits in a blink of an eye

 

When a leading manufacturer needed to upgrade systems and equipment quickly, they meant business.  How about completely removing a fully functional system and replacing it over a weekend.  Not impossible when “Team NECI” is called upon to manage the project implementation.

 

Nelson Equipment along with partners Feazel Electrical Contractors and Hytrol Conveyor did just that.  So, no matter how difficult the task appears, look to us to find workable solutions.  Even when you don’t have the time.

“Getting the project started”

 

NOTE: due to priority information and company policy, our client requested that we not show any pictures of their processes and product.  For that reason unfortunately it does not allow us to show you the system design or installation photos.

 
 
 

INDUSTRY NEWS

HYTROL KEEPS IMPROVING WITH LEAN 

 

In keeping with last month’s “lean theme”, Hytrol once again has invested where it counts and maintains a strong and vibrant Lean Philosophy.

 

Tapered Roller Production

Hytrol has taken another step toward reducing waste by adopting the ability to produce tapered tubes for our curved conveyors.  With only two facilities in the U.S. producing tapered tubes, lead-time for this product could be 4-6 weeks, and possibly result in late shipments. By taking over this process, Hytrol is able to reduce the time and uncertainty of purchasing tapered tubes, while ensuring the quality that is expected from our company.

 

New Pulley CNC Machine

Hytrol has also expanded its capabilities to produce pulleys.  Before, the maximum width pulley we could mill was 60" wide.  Longer widths would have to be outsourced thus extending the delivery times.  Now, with the new Mask machine, Hytrol can mill thick wall pulleys up to 110" wide allowing us to improve delivery times and directly control quality

 

USED EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE

One of our Customers has various material handling equipment items currently in a rented warehouse that they are motivated to get rid of.  Send us your shopping list and let us try to match you up in a win/win opportunity!
