Industry: Aluminum Production
Region: Italy and China
Service: Design and Manufacture – High-Fatigue Resistance Conveyor
Overview
CNIM Asia was tasked with building a custom-made conveyor with high fatigue resistance for an Italian company specializing in aluminum extrusion machines. The conveyor needed to withstand impacts from 350 kg aluminum parts falling from a height, and the project was delivered in just 49 days, including full-scale testing.
Challenge
The project presented several key challenges:
• High-Fatigue Resistance: Designing a conveyor capable of withstanding the impact of 350 kg aluminum plates falling from more than one meter.
• Quick Delivery: Completing the design, manufacture, and testing of the conveyor within 49 days.
• Customization: Tailoring the design to meet the specific needs of COMETAL’s aluminum scrap recovery and transfer process.
Solution
Tailor-Made Design and Engineering
Leveraging their expertise in industrial design and manufacturing, CNIM Asia developed a customized conveyor solution:
• Impact and Fatigue Analysis: Conducted thorough fatigue and impact analyses on the steel conveyor belt to ensure it could withstand the required impacts and maintain high performance throughout its service life.
• High-Strength Materials: Engineered the conveyor using high-strength materials and design techniques to enhance its durability and impact resistance.
Manufacturing and Testing
CNIM Asia carried out the entire manufacturing process in their Foshan facility, ensuring rigorous quality control and testing:
• Full-Scale Testing: Performed complete assembly and full-scale tests in their workshops to validate the conveyor’s performance under real-world conditions.
• Quick Turnaround: Successfully designed, manufactured, and delivered the conveyor within the tight 49-day timeframe, demonstrating their capability to meet demanding project schedules.
Outcome
The custom-made conveyor was delivered on time and met all of COMETAL’s requirements. The successful completion of this project highlights CNIM Asia’s ability to provide tailored, high-performance industrial solutions with quick turnaround times.
