Overhead chain conveyors & bespoke systems - Midland Handling Equipment

In about a weeks time our engineer will be travelling to the Czech Republic to service an old 203 Power and Free conveyor for Andrew Telecommunications. Originally installed in Scotland decades ago the system was moved to Modrice in the Czech Republic in 2004 (approx.)  This is a great example of the continued use Midland Handling’s conveyors have achieved worldwide. Midland have supplied conveyors to France, Spain, Ireland, Poland, USA, Kuwait, South Africa, Columbia, Russia, Italy, Brazil, Chile, UAE, Mexico, Malta, India, Pakistan, South Korea and even as far as Australia for Renold Chain to name but a few. The durability of Midland’s conveyors means that they are constantly being resold to different companies and we often have calls from customer looking for spares for systems over 30 years old!

Midland Handling Equipment have taken another great order from Genlab for their site in Romania. Consisting of eight PTFE Mesh Belt conveyors and four Sprocket Driven Trakmaster 304 systems. PTFE again offers the ability to take high temperature scenarios for ovens howeverdepending on size and mesh pitch they can be more cost effective thana steel mesh or honeycomb belt conveyor. The 304 overhead conveyor systems are small loops which makes it a little more simple to make sprocket driven rather than the usual inline Caterpillar drives we produce! Read More
