An armchair philosopher once said that change is the only constant. And manufacturing operations aren’t immune to this little piece of wisdom. Today’s conveyor solutions can quickly become tomorrow’s conveyor nightmares. Enter the Dorner 5200 Series Modular Plastic Belt Conveyor Platform … so versatile, it may be the last conveyor system you’ll ever need to buy.

The 5200 Series, a truly modular conveyor, integrates a time- and cost-saving design. Need to shorten your line? Want a 90° left curve to become a 90° right curve? All you need is a saw, a cordless screwdriver and a few minutes of time to make the transformation happen. It’s a great system for a variety of industrial, automation and packaging applications. The system provides unlimited attachment possibilities with light-duty self-tapping screws, simple integration of controls and accessories, designed-in air and wiring management systems, a contained belt to eliminate sag and pinch points, and quick sprocket and belt alignment. The 5200 Series is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate just about any application.

Stop fighting change. The Dorner 5200 Series conveyor helps you embrace it.

Dorner … an important part of your healthy lifestyle.

Everyone who’s ever taken a biology class knows that bacteria are the most abundant life form on earth. They’re everywhere. But one place they shouldn’t be is in the conveyor system of a major American nutritional bar manufacturer. Our client’s old conveyer used a bucket and chain system to move  ingredients through the plant. Buckets and chains, it turns out, are prime bacteria hangouts. Sanitizing this antique system soaked up valuable man hours … hours that couldn’t be used in production. So the company asked Dorner to come up with a solution: an easy-to-clean system that (oh, by the way) also had to negotiate a 23-foot rise in elevation at a 60° angle.

Our engineers recommended the AquaPruf LPZ Series conveyor. Thanks to its configuration versatility, the AquaPruf LPZ made short work of the steep rise in elevation with no expansion of the existing system footprint. AquaPruf’s USDA-approved Mol Industries solid urethane belt is easy to clean and works like a charm in wet or humid environments, with no hinges or pins that might make bacteria feel welcome. Now the company’s production is well within government sanitation guidelines. They’re spending less time scrubbing nooks and crannies, and more time getting your nutritional bars ready.
