Industry:
Industry-agnostic. Specifically tailored for manufacturing rolled items with high fiber content and stiffness.
Challenge:
During the rolling phase of their production line, a client of USM encountered a significant hurdle. Their product, composed of extruded sheets high in fiber, rendered traditional rollers ineffective in achieving proper rolling and maintaining product integrity. Consequently, they resorted to manual rolling methods, leading to labor dependency.
Our Approach:
At USM, innovation is ingrained in our culture, motivating us to seek inventive solutions. We conceptualized a unique machine with two hold-down belts positioned at an angle to the conveyor belt, thereby creating a strong rolling effect on the product. This machine performed as desired and had the ability to consistently roll the customer’s product and create a formed product that held its shape.
Result:
This innovative rolling machine is suitable for use in production lines handling products with high rigidity. By reducing reliance on manual intervention, we improved the uniformity of the final product and mitigated contamination risks.
