/in /by

An automated conveyor system can dramatically improve the productivity of any manufacturing process. It’s why most manufacturing companies have employed automated conveyor systems in their plants – they know the benefits conveyors bring to their production process.

Conveyors are almost a non-negotiable, but choosing the perfect conveyor system for your manufacturing process? That’s not as easy. There are a number of factors to consider: initial cost, total cost of ownership, maintenance needs, noise levels, installation, and most important, the quality and usability of the conveyor. What conveyor system will give you the maximum output with the longest lifespan? How much will it cost you in maintenance and upkeep? Can the system be customized to your specific needs?

Monmouth Roseville Visits Fusion Tech

/in /by

On Thursday, April 10, Fusion Tech played host to 26 students from Monmouth Roseville High School as part of a tour designed for the Industrial Arts class taught by Dan Livermore.

Fusion Tech General Manager Dan Bentz took the students on a tour of the Fusion Tech facilities, giving them a first-hand view of the industrial arts in action. Students were intrigued by the level and scope of the projects Fusion Tech takes on, and had a number of questions about what we do.

The facility tour isn’t the only way Fusion Tech assists the industrial arts class at Monmouth-Roseville High School. Every school year, we provide the class with scrap carbon steel for students to learn and practice their welding. These are just some ways Fusion Tech is investing in the next generation.

Designing for Sanitary Equipment

/in /by

In the food processing industry, it is essential that all equipment is built to strict hygienic design standards, ensuring everything can be cleaned and sanitized quickly and easily. Such standards help eliminate product contamination by any number of microorganisms known to cause dangerous infection and disease in humans. One poorly designed piece of equipment is all it takes for microorganisms to grow and fester, and eventually contaminate every product going across your line. One need only look back to the Listeria outbreak of 2002 to see the ramifications of a contaminated product.

When looking to replace worn-out equipment or expand your processing operations, it is imperative to find an equipment fabricator who knows and adheres to sanitary design. Doing so will save you time, money, and help in keeping your product from contamination.
