Direct answer
Choose the operating principle from the product, pack and measurable result before comparing models, headline speeds or prices. For incline conveyors, confirm the result with representative product and packaging before altering several variables at once.
Likely causes
- The machine is being selected by headline speed alone in the incline conveyors process.
- The hardest product or pack is not represented in the incline conveyors process.
- The measurement or application principle is unsuitable in the incline conveyors process.
- Loading, discharge, inspection and changeover are excluded in the incline conveyors process.
What should be checked first?
- List every product and pack size the machine must handle
- Define a measurable finished result
- Set sustained good output
- Identify the hardest normal case
- Compare operating principles before models
- Run representative samples
- Agree how the machine will be tested before and after installation
What should you compare before buying?
Compare the operating principle against the actual product, pack range, sustained good output, measurable quality limits, cleaning, changeover and site conditions. Use representative samples and agree what will be demonstrated during testing before delivery and after installation.
