There isn’t an employer in existence that shouldn’t consider slips and falls to be a significant safety concern in its facilities. In an article about overlooked hazards and risk zones in the workplace, Facility Executive magazine cites some sobering numbers: Same-level slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of workplace injuries and totaled almost 200,000 in 2015, according to […]

The forklift truck is standard equipment for many industrial manufacturing operations that need to move enormous amounts (read: tons) of material from point A to point B, day in and day out. Most of these operations probably feel like they can’t live without forklifts. However, the convenience and expediency they provide, in addition to sparing workers the task of lifting […]

“Keeping up with high Q rates” sounds like the title of a reality TV show. It’s definitely an important aspect of any industrial manufacturing operation that puts a priority on optimizing output. If the goal is to machine as many parts as possible in the shortest amount of time to maximize profitability, a high material removal rate (Q) is critical […]

Steel belt conveyors have been relied upon in the stamping industry for hundreds of years. The reason for this is because of the way steel belt conveyors automate the scrap handling process, and for the specific ways in which they can be designed to mitigate wear of the conveyor and any unplanned downtime associated with that wear. Typically in […]

Although any good equipment design will incorporate some sort of safety factor for wear, more application-specific details should be shared with the design engineer. This will ensure less wear, better value, and a longer lasting piece of equipment. Some key application details to share with the design engineer for equipment in the metal scrap handling industries are: Specific alloy […]
