Miedema is introducing a new generation of the MC (Miedema Conveyor) series, single and duo belt conveyors.
The 80 cm wide trough belt has a high economic capacity of over 130 tons/h at a belt speed of 40 m/min, according to Miedema. The fact that the belt lies on top of the frame guarantees maximum quality of the conveyed product, the company said. With narrow construction and the optional integrated flattening set, which transforms the trough belt to a flat belt, the transport conveyors can also be used to inspect the product. Overhead lighting of the conveyor belt is available as a factory option. The MC duo belt makes use of a wide, sturdy energy chain and is distinguished by the fine finishing, with cables hidden away inside the frame, the company said.
The MC series is fitted with a strong, simple extension mechanism, Miedema said. The drawbar can be attached in two positions, so the transport conveyor can be moved with the forklift. A centrally located control cabinet provides operation from both sides. Because the discharge height is above 190 cm, the conveyors can be used for various purposes, such as filling both the MB 33 and MB 55 box fillers. In addition, all the MC machines are standard equipped with Start-Control (central starting and stopping of all connected machines).
The single belt models are available in 6.5, 8.5 and 10 meter lengths, while the duo belts are available in lengths of 13, 17 and 20 meter. Every machine can be delivered with either two fixed belt speeds or a variable speed belt, and both options utilize drum motors. For intensive use, an extensive range of options are available to tailor the machine to the customer’s exact wishes, according to Miedema. On a duo belt machine, these include electric/hydraulic control of extension/retraction, positioning of the machine and steering of the wheels on the discharge side. The new MC can also be fitted with a weighing system. The is also optional single-sided adjustment of the infeed height with integrated locked transport position.
