You’ve got thousands of individual products coming off the line or stored in the warehouse. It’s time to pack them all up in different boxes and ship them off to your customers. What’s the best way to prepare them for shipment? Basically, you have three choices: 1) set up a pack line with workers to […]
Without conveyor belts, your products are going nowhere. But the same constant movement that keeps your goods in motion takes a toll on the belt material as it rubs against rollers and the table bed. The weight of the product creates downward pressure, increasing the amount of contact. When surfaces move against each other, the […]
