Hygienic Stainless Steel Belt

                                                  Hygienic Stainless Steel Belt

We are facing COVID-19 now.  This is fight against virus.

In the food industry have been repeated food poisoning and food product contamination due to bacteria growth.

One reason is hygiene management on food process machines and food transport systems.

Generally, we can clean metal much more easily than organic materials like resin and rubber.
Especially stainless steel demonstrated little possibility of rusts.
So this metal has been used in the food processing industry and water related parts like sinks and faucets.
 
DYMCO is an expert of stainless steel belts.
Our belts are hygiene and emit little dusts, serving as a good transport tool in the food industry and clean-room operations.

We wish everyone stays healthy.

Plastic Film Cooling by a Face Touch Roll

 Plastic Film Cooling by a Face Touch Roll
 
Dymco has started to work from home as a measure against COVID-19. 
We continue to hold regular meetings inside our company by Microsoft  Teams. 
We attend them from home, completely avoiding contacts among members and spread of virus.
On the other hand, we have no choice but to come to the office for on-site works like improvements and evaluation of devices.
We would like to work on development themes efficiently,
although it is not certain how long this situation goes on.

Once in this blog I introduced Dymco's "cooling roll."
This roll is tripled.  From the outer surface, there are a thin electroformed sleeve, cooling water and rubber.
Cooling water flows in clearance between the outside sleeve and rubber. 
This rubber covers the core of this roll.

When this roll is pressed against the cooling target, the outside thin sleeve is pressed and creats face touch.
The performance depends on how much this face contact area is obtained.
In addition, we need to obtain data how much heat is removed by this roll.
So we are working to prepare evaluation equipment like the one in the picture below.
Cooling Test by Our Cooling Roll

We delivered φ100 × 950L for trial so far.
Now larger size is possible.
There is size restrictions in electroformed sleeves.
But please be free to contact us at overseas@dymco.co.jp

Metal Belt Conveyors on Video

Metal Belt Conveyors on Video

The Japanese Gov'nt declared a  state of emergency against COVID-19 on April 7.
We are still in trouble.
Dymco turned to work from home from April 14th.
We are not familiar with working from home and sometimes feel uneasy and inconvenient.
But we find advantages, too.
I concentrate on my work without interruption of phone calls. 
And of course time for commuting is none. 
So now I can fully work on things that I couldn't do when  I was busy.

By the way, do you know  "Dymco Video Collection" in our site?

http://web.archive.org/web/20190311213859/http://www.steelbelt.jp/060video/video.php

I like this very much.
Videos of many kinds of metal belt transport go on and on. 



If you have time, why not turnig this video theater?


And when you have questions,
please contact overseas@dymco.co.jp

Double Steel Belt Heat and Press Conveyor

http://www.steelbelt.jp/product/stainless_steel_belt_conveyors/post_3.php
Our customers use this conveyor in many ways.
They continuously heat and press the work,
keep the work in a certain temperature between the 2 belts, like plants in a green house,
laminate two material to make a new function.

In general the double steel belt conveyor presses the work with rollers.
However, DYMCO's conveyor does not press by rollers,
but uses square heaters and press the work.
Heating and pressing are done in an area, not in a line pressed by rollers.
Out conveyor is unique on this point and this improves productivity.

Our demonstration conveyor holds the cooling unit, too.
So cutomers can test heating and cooling in a streamline.
Of course we can set heating and cooling time, as well as continuous pressure and speed.

Continuous Inspection of Both Surfaces by Vacuum Conveyor


Continuous Inspection of Both Surfaces by Vacuum Conveyor
 
We receive many inquiries on continuous inspection on both surfaces of a transported work.
Actually more customers come to DYMCO from distant places
as they find our vacuum conveyor in our web site and get interested in it.
 
Their works are films, sheets, metal foils, glass etc. used for secondary batteries and electronic devices.
Expansion of IoT pushes those demands.




Rotary tables and single-axis robots may be choices when you inspect both surfaces.
But since they move back and forth, it is quite difficult to shorten cycle time.
Production lines also get complicated.
Why not trying our vacuum conveyor if you need to inspect both surfaces seamlessly in a simple form? 


 
Inspection of suface by the 1st vacuum conveyor.
By the 2nd vacuum conveyor, back surface is inspected.
Cleaning of both surfaces is also possible without turning around works.

Remote Monitoring on Steel Belt Vacuum Conveyor



Remote Monitoring on Steel Belt Vacuum Conveyor 

In February this year, "Technical Show Yokohama 2020" was held at Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Hall.
One of exhibitors, JSP Co., Ltd., introduced Dymco's suction conveyor.
The real suction conveyor was not in the booth, but in Dymco,  20 km away from this hall.

Before this exhibition JSP came to Dymco and set their remote communiction device upon our suction conveyor so that JSP can drive it in their booth.

JSP observed electric current by sensors.  Also the attched camera sent images how the conveyor was running.  They received all these info in their booth.

Especially they demonstrated an alarm function telling abnormal operation. 



Exhibition booth of JSP Co., Ltd.

Please look at the video below, showing vacuum transport of our steel belt conveyor with remote monitoring device set.

 
We will continue to examine failure prediction, safe operation, and such
so that our conveyors could provide safety and reliabity to our customers.

Low cost standard steel belt conveyor for your first trial

Low cost standard steel belt conveyor for your first trial


We have standard steel belt conveyors.
Especially the small one is the best for users, who use steel belts for the first time.

Steel belts are employed for particular reasons like clean room, hygiene food transport, heating and drying, and vacuum environment.

If you need to tackle contamination, particles, static electricity, vibration, very flat transport surface, we recommend to try this conveyor first for evaluation of effects with metal belts.
For the small size conveyor we offer the special price.
