According to an industry analysis conducted in 2023, it was found that Europe alone produces about 500 million euros worth of conveyor belts to meet the needs of various manufacturing and food processing industries. With over 85% of these conveyor belts being made of synthetic rubber, 45,000km of non-biodegradable polyester and nylon fabric is used and discarded each year to create sturdy rubber conveyor belts. So, as you can imagine, it’s not a surprise that our industry is one of the biggest contributors to the increase in the world’s carbon footprint.
The year 2024 is all about environmentally conscious businesses that actively implement sustainable policies included in their CSR reports. Most companies that do it the right way have found it beneficial not only for the environment, but also for their businesses; and yes, it goes beyond ‘good reputation’.
Here are some benefits that Asmech Systems Ltd. has experienced first hand:
Customising sustainability
As part of our support and services, we offer the option to customise belts right from design to completion. This gives our clients an opportunity to identify their needs and customise their conveyor belts to suit their reduced carbon footprint strategies. Offering bespoke designs has helped many brands across food, hospitality, construction and pharmaceutical industries save money in pursuit of efficient and sustainable conveyor belts and has given us a reputation for being able to provide adaptable and innovative solutions that fit their manufacturing unit like a glove!
Producing maintenance-friendly machines
Owing to our experience spanning over 25 years in the industry, we are proud to have a highly skilled, innovative team of engineers who excel in engineering efficient and maintenance-friendly designs. The unpredictability of conveyor belt systems has been one of the biggest challenges of the industry, so there’s no knowing how or when a downtime might hit the machine, but experienced professionals will always have taken precautions, and have a toolkit ready. While our conveyor belt systems are built to the highest quality, we are aware of their nature and offer a traffic light system to notify them of lead times.
We offer a wide range of after-sale services that include regular maintenance, installation, periodic spare parts delivery, and more. Offering these services has not only helped us become more environment-conscious, but also given us a competitive edge in the materials handling industry.
Efficiency in project management
We’re well known for our customer-centric approach to solutions, and a lot of its credit goes to our in-house experienced design team for offering bespoke design and drawing services in both 2D and 3D. We use the latest 3D design software, Oculus Rift, that allows our customers to look around a virtual world with the help of custom tracking tech to provide ultra-low latency 360° head tracking. We also continue to offer comprehensive 2D production line layouts, detailed machine and electrical schematic drawings.
Offering these design services has helped us improve the quality of our conveyor belts as it ensures there is no room for unpleasant surprises when it comes to managing expectations.
