July 23–MUSKEGON, MI– Dynamic Conveyor Corp. has introduced a light-duty conveyor system that is ISO Class-3 approved.
Based on a “building block” concept of high-impact, interchangeable plastic modules, accessories and components, the DynaCon system provides cleanroom and associated controlled environments with the flexibility and ease of reconfiguration to improve production flow and modify production schemes in order to handle more work.
“Lean manufacturing hasn’t been fully embraced until the recent recession,” says Laura Douglas, president of Turner Group, a Seattle-based rep firm that markets DynaCon systems and other types of manufacturing equipment throughout the western U.S., Canada and Mexico. “Now we see enormous interest in making manufacturing operations leaner. That is a primary reason why the DynaCon system fits so many manufacturing environments, including cleanroom operations.”
The DynaCon system, according to the company, is suitable for medical, aerospace, electronics and telecommunications manufacturing environments. Modular cleanrooms, designed for flexibility, could also benefit from the system’s portability and lightweight construction.
According to Dynamic Conveyor, many cleanroom environments are unable to meet Class-3 standards because they are now using conveyor systems that require particulate-emitting lubricants. The DynaCon system -rated to meet ISO Class 3 standards by an independent laboratory- not only eliminates that problem, but can also enable cleanrooms to make substantial productivity gains.
Highly portable and quiet, the company says its conveyor system requires no lubrication and includes a maintenance-free, brushless dc motor, which produces no motor emissions. DynaCon conveyors also feature dust-free polypropylene rods as the hinge-pins for the conveyor belt, which is also made of polypropylene.
The DynaCon conveyor is also lightweight, making it easy to move and clean. Modules can be combined to build a horizontal system and later reconfigured to provide ascending and/or descending angles. DynaCon system modules include drive flights, side guards retaining walls, legs and connectors. A variety of primary accessories, such as cooling tunnels, separators, and water bath tanks for cooling products, and also be outfitted on the conveyor system.
