Ways To Reduce Cost Increase Safety By Using Conveyor System ...

Saturday, 7 January 2012 When faced with the need to manufacture vehicles quickly and inexpensively in a nation where the horse and buggy were the way of life Henry Ford choose to use conveyor system manufacturing and changed the course of automobile manufacturing forever. The system allowed heavy parts to be transported without injury to workers. These systems allow machinery to do work that people often find difficult. The conveyor belt has also been the subject of comedyCheck out the hottest new video sharing website, Vidiopia.com today! shows like Lucy and Ethel at work in the chocolate factory. That belt moved chocolates to be packaged by the workers and as usual with Lucy, there was some trouble. A favorite conveyor system that demonstrates the usefulness of this system in reducing workers and increasing safety is found at the donut shop. The automated system extrudes and drops donuts into very hot oil for cooking. As the donuts float down the oil stream they cook and are flipped midway. Once finished cooking the donuts are automatically transferred to metal conveyor where they are automatically frosted. At the other end of the belt, the donuts are packaged by an employee. This system solves several problems. Workers do not have to place donuts into or remove them from the hot oil, which prevents burns. The automated system means that one to two workers can cook and package hundreds of donuts in a relatively short time. With fewer human hands touching the food, there is less chance at the spread of diseaseCancer is a conservative disease that can sneak up on anyone. Help end this disease once and for all.

They can be used in preparing and packaging foods or in moving foods through ovens in order to cook the food to perfection. Drink manufacturers use the machines for bottling the drinks. Snack food manufacturers use them to cook and package foods. In industries where there is heavier lifting to be done, including the automotive industry, conveyor systems are often found at work. Conveyor systems make moving the parts much safer and easier. A task that may have involved several workers who might have been injured without the system can be done without fear of injury. Parts can also be moved through high temperature environments or places that could cause respiratory problems for humans without any danger. In multi-level manufacturing plants, conveyor systems can be used to move parts from one floor to another and save the time that would be associated with moving them from the first level to an elevator and then back to the new workstation. The part is moved upstairs in just a few minutes rather than half an hour. Conveyor manufacturing systems offer much more safety than forklifts or other methods of moving materials from place to place. If you want to increase productivity and safety, why not do what Ford did almost one hundred years ago. He installed a conveyor system to improve the process of manufacturing the Model T and thus he changed the auto industry forever. This system saved him money and allowed for mass production of the car that changed the way that America traveled.
