When a UK glass container customer of Standard Industrie International encountered a problem of material spillages during the conveying of in-house cullet, it was decided to modify the existing strip and install 32m of LIFTUBE.

During a short production stoppage, the LIFTUBE was installed on a conveyor running in a tunnel of approximately 1500mm sides.

All original rollers and skirts were removed and taken out of the tunnel in turn.

The LIFTUBE parts were then transported by hand and installed on the original conveyor frame.

The installation was completed two days ahead of schedule. 

Since the installation, the customer has eliminated all spills from its conveyor line that reduced access for clean-up operators. Thus, the risk of accidents during the weekly interventions to clear the overflow of glass has been eliminated.
