Vertical lift modules

As space becomes increasingly limited, the focus has shifted towards maximizing storage capacity and efficiency. The OEM, already in the design phase of a new solution, sought to address these challenges by reducing the space occupied by vertical storage modules while enhancing their overall performance. The goal was clear: develop a next-generation vertical lift modules that would occupy 90% less space than a traditional ones (with the same amount of stored goods), operate more quietly, consume less energy, and ensure fast and secure retrieval of goods.

Automatisiertes Lager

A manufacturer of AS/RS systems contacted the Megadyne application engineering team for assistance with their drive system. They needed a clean, economical, quiet and lightweight system that guaranteed smooth, precise movement in a compact space with a minimum amount of componentry. Chain drives were the solution in the past but in testing, they proved unable to achieve the demanding high performance requirements of the customers’ new modern equipment. Megadyne can provide a complete drive system meeting all the performance requirements of a modern AS/RS system. Read more below.

Automotive Paint Shops

SITUATION/APPLICATION A major automotive OEM was in the process of redesigning their paint shop line. They were seeking a way to improve production efficiency, lower energy consumption, and ensure high-quality paint finishes with minimal contamination. Space optimization was also a priority, as they needed a more compact transmission system without compromising performance. THE PROBLEM The competitor’s solution, using a low-performance belt, led to higher energy consumption and required more space. Additionally, the previous transmission system failed to meet paint shop standards, causing surface contamination, defective paint jobs, and costly rework. A more efficient, reliable, and contaminant-free solution was needed

Obstdosierer für die Apfelsaftherstellung

Die Rollenkettentriebe versagten kontinuierlich in weniger als einem Monat, wodurch eine untragbare betriebliche Belastung entstand. Obwohl die Ketten selbst kostengünstig waren, waren die kumulierten Kosten für häufige Austausche, Arbeitsaufwand und Produktionsstillstände erheblich. Jeder Ausfall legte das Obstelevatorsystem lahm, unterbrach die Produktion und schmälerte direkt den Umsatz. Darüber hinaus zersetzte die korrosive Anwendungsumgebung die Stahlketten rasant, was den Verschleiß beschleunigte und die Lebensdauer weiter verkürzte.

Maschinen zur Wurstverarbeitung

SITUATION/APPLICATION The food industry is a dynamic and fast paced business. Belts and associated equipment for food processing are required to have food contact approved materials for use with any kind of food product or process. They must also be highly resistant to animal fats, vegetable and mineral oils, as well as many chemicals and be capable of handling clean-in-place wash-down procedures. Modern production lines for sausage processing move at extremely high speed grip to endure this demanding environment. Additionally, materials must meet all the food grade requirements of the locality where it is used. THE PROBLEM The Megadyne OEM team worked with a manufacturer of sausage processing machinery to solve their problem of short belt life. The application suffered frequent belt breakage and delamination due to the severe environment where the belt was exposed to material degrading animal fats and high pressure periodic wash-down maintenance of the equipment.
