Conventional Conveyors

• Dented, rusty or worn out rollers require frequent replacement

• Stretched or broken O-rings require constant attention

• Belts slip and need to be constantly re-tensioned

• Belts can track to one side and fray on the edge

• Stretched or damaged belts need to be repaired or replaced

• Activation devices on accumulation conveyors need to be replaced from time to time

Requires lots of Spare Parts !

RUS Performance AdvantagesRUS Performance Advantages

RUS Conveyors

• No Take ups required periodic chain Link removal only

• Chain tracked by edge guides

• No damaged side edges

• Easy replacement of damaged link modules

• Replace chain, sprockets & wear tracks once every 2 – 5 years

• No activation devices to maintain

Minimal spare parts! Reduced downtime Higher productivity

• The Roller Upgrade System improves OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) by:

– M aintenance/Downtime reduced by up to 85%– I nventory reduction– N oise reduction– C ut energy use – O ptimize product handling– S afety improvement– T echnical support– S ustainability

RUS Value PropositionRUS Value Proposition

Reduce unplanned downtime by 85% by eliminating…– Number of rotating

components (17,000 to 32)– Fraying concerns w/ flat belt– Punctures/tears on flat belt– Broken o-rings on line-shaft

driven roller conveyors– Line jams by maintaining

product orientation
