Heavy mild steel welded structures using box sections where possible for hygiene and strength, and all sheet steel surfaces from stainless steel BS304 (high grade stainless steel).
Fasteners (nuts, screws, bolts, washers and lock washers) have metric threadrates and are of stainless steel, except where the application requires high tensile steel. Top
All mild steel structures are hot zinc dipped (galvanised). A high-buildphosphate primer and a polyurethane spray finish is applied in Traymaster standard blue, to all motors, gearboxes and other proprietary items. All galvanised surfaces and stainless steel surfaces are left self coloured. Top
All shafting and bearings are in metric dimensions, and all bearings are standard self aligning units, grease filled and sealed, and of RHP manufacture or equivalent. Special bearings are fitted where conditions or design parameters dictate, and all hidden bearings have remote greasing facilities. Top
All electric motors are to CSA Standards, with metric frame sizesand are totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC), fitted with gear reduction boxes where necessary. Gear reduction boxes are of SEW,Benzler or Brevini manufacture.
Drum motors are normally used to drive conveyor belts, and these are normally manufactured by Interroll Limited.
Toothed belt drives (timing belts) are used to avoid lubrication and to minimise maintenance, with BS chain drives used for high torque low speed applications.
Where gear reduction boxes are fitted onto shafting and the shaft is more than 50mm diameter, the gearbox is fitted with taper lock facilities, or a split bearing is fitted in board of the gearbox.
All transmission drives are guarded to the relevant Health & Safety Regulations. Top
All conveyor belting is normally class 250 or 315, with between two and three plies of synthetic fabric polyester and nylon, with synthetic rubber top and bottom covers or low friction dry back, according to the application.
Belts normally have a smooth surface with hot vulcanised joints, but lugged belts with stainless steel fasteners are used where conditions or design dictate. Belts are troughed or flat with stainless steel side-guides, according to the project requirement. Top
All hydraulic systems are to international standards, and are complete with pressure relief valves, directional control valves, flow control valves, flow dividing valves and special valves according to circuit requirements.
Suction line strainers and return line filters are fitted, hydraulic tanks have temperature and oil level indicators, and pressure gauges are provided on all major circuits.
Unless otherwise specified, we would use Eaton Char Lynn hydraulic motors, Dennison pumps and directional valves, Integrated Hydraulics for general valves and controls, and filtration equipment would be by UCC.
All these companies have international representation.
Hoses and fittings are generally threaded BSP. Top
Electrical control equipment is generally Telemecanique or Moeller manufacture, with relay systems for controlling processes. PLC’s are used where conditions or processes require same, and we would liase to determine a local PLC supplier/servicer.
Control consoles and all cable junction boxes are stainless steel enclosures with gasketed doors and covers, generally to IP56 standards.
All electrical conductors are individually numbered at each end of each cable at all termination points, within the control consoles, junction boxes and all control devices. These cable numbers are indicated on the electrical circuit diagrams provided with the machine, to enable prompt fault finding and simplified maintenance.
All cabling would be to Canadian standards, as far as is possible.
Emergency stop buttons are strategically positioned on the machine, with dual circuits provided in each button for additional safety, with a circuit continuity checker in the main console.
Note that electrical mains supply cables and signal cables attached to the buildings are not provided or fitted by us, unless specifically requested. Top
Diesel Engine Power Unit (if applicable)
Our power units are constructed within our works from proven quality components to suit the application. We would use a Perkins or Volvo engine as standard, but other engines are available to suit customers requirements, but with price adjustment.
The engine is direct coupled to a Newage International alternator, the alternator having double dipped windings fitted with anti-condensation heaters.
The engine, alternator and tinned core radiator are mounted over an eight hour duration fuel tank, and the entire assembly is contained within a weatherproof enclosure (optionally an acoustic enclosure down to 85dBa at 3 ft) fitted with stainless steel washable removable cooling air filters on the air inlet side. The air outlet side of the enclosure is louvered, and faces away from the machine operator’s station.
The enclosures are Syntec coated and finished Traymaster blue, using a two part epoxy paint.
The power unit controls and indicators are provided on the main machine control console and include - key ignition control system, oil pressure indicator, water temperature indicator, rev meter, frequency meter, voltmeter, ammeter, hours run meter, fuel tank level gauge and low oil pressure/high water temperature shut-down systems.

An operator’s manual is provided with each machine containing:
Health & Safety information;
Maintenance procedures on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, six monthly and annual basis;
Hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical circuit diagrams as applicable;
Recommended start up spare parts list;
Full machine component list giving full component description, specification, supplier’s name and contact information, local agent’s name and contact information, and Traymaster reference numbers. Top
