1 Materials Handling Spirals, seamless belt & belt over deck conveyors, grading, accumulation, and transfer systems. Mercer s commitment to craftsmanship and quality has made us aninternational leader in the design and manufacture of innovative engineering solutions for all industries.

2 A plastic modular belt conveyor that is more modern than most. When we set out to design a Plastic Modular Belt Conveyor we knew form and functionality were of the utmost importance. This is why Mercer s Plastic Modular Belt Conveyor is leading the industry in design, performance and reliability. With features like these, you ll see why! An open design which is easier to clean, ensuring greater hygiene Can be washed frequently at high pressures Made entirely of acid-proof stainless steel A range of belts for almost any conveying task in almost any industry Sprocket driven for more accurate belt tracking and drive Handles the heaviest of loads Changing the belt is a snap, either in sections, or completely Maintenance-free transmission with worm hollow shaft gearbox The conveyor is designed to minimize pinch points for ultimate operational safety Available in straight running or radius belts Easy clean wash down and open frame design

3 Plus these value-added accessories: Fixed or adjustable side guides Anti-contamination trays can be fitted which prevent goods from spilling onto the floor Fixed or adjustable height stands Finger plates for smooth transition between belts Variable speed control Motor protection Flat or round section side guides A worm gearbox and motor mounted directly on the drive shaft Stainless steel bearings The belts can be equipped with cleats/flights to suit specific applications A broad range of fixed or adjustable stands that can also be fitted with castors There are a variety of conveyor belts available including Angle Roller, Open Area, Tight Radius, Polypropylene, Polyethylene and Acetal. Built to withstand temperatures from -46 to +104 Celsius.

4 Belt Over Deck Conveyor that embodies our design principles Our BOD Conveyor, available in stainless steel or mild steel construction, has been designed to master the toughest conveying conditions, particularly those which require belt cleats/flights. The most unique feature of Mercer s BOD (Belt Over Deck) Conveyor is that the return belt, along with the frame and roller adjustments, sits safely tucked inside the conveyor frame. This means you can make the most of tight spaces and it is safer for those working around the conveyor. Its robust, compact design, which can also be painted, is also available in an inclined version. Cutaways along the belt frame allow the belt to be thoroughly washed, ensuring a clean and hygienic operating environment. The special design of the Mercer BOD Conveyor results in the underside of the belt remaining tight (no sag) for optimum performance, regardless of its length or whether the belt has flights. Every BOD Conveyor is designed to minimize pinch points for ultimate operational safety. The conveyor is direct-driven by a worm gearbox and motor mounted directly onto the drive shaft.

5 The conveyor comes with an impressive range of additional features such as: Guarding Drip trays/anti-contamination trays indexing Variable speed control Motor protection Single or three-phase motors Side guides with either flat or rounded sections are provided for side guidance The belts can be provided with 10 to 70mm high cleats to suit the material being handled Depending on the application, some End Drive BOD Conveyors have a tracking rib to ensure the conveyor tracks true, with a goose neck for continuous belt drive on incline and decline conveyors A wide range of fixed and adjustable stands can also be fitted with castors There is a comprehensive range of conveyor belts available including general purpose, food grade, oil-resistant, low and high friction and heat-resistant options.

6 Powered Roller Conveyor System that will keep your business on the move! The design engineers at Mercer Stainless have created one of the most efficient Powered Roller Conveyor Systems on the market, with a number of outstanding features. Among these are special elements that are designed to protect hygienic environments where food is processed, such as the exclusive Mercer Stainless BBF (Ball Bearing Free) Roller which is made for sanitary conditions. Unlike other rollers, the BBF Roller doesn t have ball bearings, which can come loose and contaminate food in the processing line. As a result of this unique design, the BBF Roller has been approved by AQIS for use in export meat processing plants. The BBF Roller is fully sealed which keeps water out of the tube during high pressure wash downs. A quick shot of the features and benefits of the Powered Roller Conveying System includes: Designed to operate effectively in all sanitary environments, reducing contamination in meat processing and dairy facilities Constructed entirely from high quality, corrosion-resistant materials Capable of handling full wash-down conditions which are required in food processing plants The conveyor drive is operated by a 40mm belt under roller for straight running conveyors and endless 14mm round cord for curved conveyors The BBF rollers are extremely quiet and are guaranteed for three years

7 Like all Mercer Stainless products you expect more, and we deliver. Look at these value added features: Zero Back Pressure Protection System Mercer s revolutionary ZBP Protection System has built in sensors that monitor the flow of every carton. Should cartons accumulate, the system stops the drive to each carton, preventing build up of the line pressure. As a result, problems associated with excessive line pressure is avoided. The ZBP Protection System operates under full wash down conditions. Dual Chain 90 Degree Transfer System Our engineers have developed a unique, chain driven 90 degree transfer conveyor that eliminates damage to cartons and line flow problems caused by most traditional systems. It is capable of up to 30 cartons per minute. Solid Tapered Roller Curves Our Powered Roller Conveyor System also includes solid PVC tapered roller curves. These have the same sanitary benefits of the BBF Rollers and are ideal for wash-down environments. Pneumatic Stops We have a variety of stops available for use with our Powered Roller Conveyor System, designed to minimise pinch points for ultimate operational safety.

8 We ve perfected the art of Pallet Handling Conveying Systems They re safe, quiet and low maintenance. But best of all, they re the most modern and efficient way to move pallets in the 21st century. You ll be on the move faster with our Roller Chain Conveyor. Mercer s Roller Chain Conveyor is made for heavy loads. Its low profile is combined with a safety head and tailstock, mounted on a solid stand. The drive unit is fully enclosed, and has reverse drive. The use of polyethylene wear-strips ensures a quieter, longer unit life.

9 We ve built more performance into every Mercer s Pallet Handling Conveying System Powered and Gravity Roller Conveyors Heavy pallet loads, drums and large containers are perfectly suited to our Powered and Gravity Roller Conveyors. The steel heavy duty rollers - with bearings - are driven by a roller chain, from roller to roller. The conveyors are constructed from cold-formed U profile frames and are available with either under or over-mounted drive units. Includes 90 or 180 turntables, transfer units, access gate, built-in scales, product turners

10 Spirals & Cooling Tunnels Introducing Mercer s cooling tunnels and freezing spirals available in many space saving configurations to best suit the application. The Mercer Spirals are suitable for raw products (such as snack foods, dairy products, bakery products, seafood, poultry/meats, etc.), bottles, ready meals and cartons. Mercer Spirals can be equipped with belt washers (Clean In Place units) to ensure the most optimum hygienic environment. The durable stainless steel or galvanised steel construction is suitable for continuous production in harsh wash-down environments and sub zero temperatures. The efficient and smooth drives result in uniform cooling or freezing of products to minimize process time. Not only will we design, construct and install your spiral, we will also provide you with ongoing maintenance. We also have experience with freezer OEM s, Turn-key systems, and systems integration. Configurations: Single and twin spirals Coolers Freezers Elevators / Lowerators Low and high tension systems

11 Drive System Chain drive The chain drive is an inexpensive system to manufacture and is very easy to replace. While this system is a lower cost option, it will require more maintenance than the pinion and gear drive. Pinion and ring gear drive The pinion and ring gear is a smooth and quiet system. The load carrying capacity of the slew bearing can minimise dependence of additional structures for support. Its simple design results in a longer service life and is better suited to below zero conditions. We can supply a design that incorporates a quick release motor mounting system for servicing.
