The company processes lemons, limes, and oranges to produce consumer-packaged beverages for retail and food service use.
The Challenge
The challenge Sparks Mol was given? Install a belt that could withstand a 70,000-pound rough dump of citrus.
The Solution
After acquiring as much data as possible from the customer and their equipment designer in Mexico, the Sparks Mol team presented the features and benefits of the Modular plastic belt versus similar belts on the market that they could consider for this rigorous application. Hands down the Dura-Lock belt was the strongest in the marketplace.
Samples were immediately delivered to the customer, along with sprockets that they could utilize with their current design to keep them up and running until their new belt came.
The Outcome
The customer is now saving money on maintenance costs and has dramatically reduced downtime. They walked away happy due to Sparks Mol’s custom solution to their issue through excellent customer service and quick delivery of their new conveyor belt.
