Magaldi Superbelt® conveyor for shot-blasting loading in Mexico

21 February 2017

Magaldi Superbelt® conveyor for shot-blasting loading in Mexico

In 2016, Volkswagen Mexico awarded Magaldi the supply of a Superbelt® conveyor to load a new Pangborn shot-blasting machine recently installed in its iron foundry in Puebla.
The Magaldi Superbelt® conveyor has replaced the existing chain conveyor which was suffering maintenance problems and frequent production outages.
Installed downstream an existing vibro-feeder that unloads the iron castings onto the belt, the first half of the Superbelt® conveyor is flat to allow operators, located at both sides of the conveyor, to de-gate and sort castings in a safe and ergonomic way.
Some intermediate curve sections incline the second half of the conveyor at 30° to feed the continuous Pangborn shot-blasting machine.

Magaldi recognized a three-year mechanical warranty for the supplied conveyor even if its expected working life is much longer.

The Magaldi Dry Ash Management (MADAM) system tackles this critical gap by drastically reducing the amount of IBA sent to landfill and transforming it into a cleaner, high-quality material suitable for reuse.
