For the conveyor manufacturers, integrators, and distributors that food industry processors rely on, securing on-time delivery of smaller parts such as guide rails, rollers, levelers, adjusting rods and related hardware can be a critical part of installing new production systems or keeping existing equipment running.
While just small components in massive conveyor systems, such parts play a critical supportive role in terms of the function and effectiveness of the final system. So much so that failing to receive necessary parts can bring portions of crucial production lines to a halt, potentially costing thousands of dollars per hour in downtime.
