Top 5 Benefits of Telescopic Conveyors

Author: NIHVA Technologies

Telescopic conveyors have transformed the material handling activity in industries. These machines are conveyors whose length can be increased or decreased by telescoping slides. From delicate materials like food and pharmaceuticals to rugged applications like mining, these pieces of equipment are making the movement of materials more efficient. We have discussed how telescopic conveyors have gained popularity and how to choose them in our previous blog. Picking up from the same thread, we thought it would be a good idea to talk about the benefits of Telescopic Conveyors in detail.

Benefits of Telescopic Conveyors

There are many benefits of telescopic conveyors, especially when we look at their various applications for specific purposes. In this blog, we will talk about the 5 key benefits that telescopic conveyors deliver across the board.

Versatile

Telescopic conveyors are extremely versatile. They can be used for take-up or take-down purposes. They can be inclined to any desired angle to carry materials from one level to another in a manufacturing unit or warehouse. Additionally, the very purpose of a telescopic conveyor is to be adjustable in length. It can be done easily with the press of a button on the control panel. Furthermore, the conveyors can move in a forward or reverse direction to provide a higher level of functionality during material handling and transport. NIHVA provides customized telescopic conveyors for various types of industrial applications at the best quality and competitive prices.

Time-efficient Operations

With the help of telescopic conveyors, the transportation of materials over a longer distance or height becomes easier and faster. These systems enhance business productivity by handling large volumes of material compared to conventional systems. For example, in the case of thermal power plants, large volumes of coal need to be transported continuously over large distances and sometimes up to great heights. Here customized telescopic conveyors run around the clock. This is more efficient compared to manual labour and also faster than using other methods like cranes, due to non-stop operation.

Cost-Effective

It must be obvious that telescopic conveyors save manual labour costs in a big way. They reduce the need for manual labour for material handling resulting in cost savings for the industry. Not only that, but telescopic conveyors have significantly lower capital and operational costs compared to other equipment like forklifts or cranes. Telescopic Conveyors manufactured by NIHVA save even more in energy costs for industries by being energy-efficient.

Enhance Workplace Safety

Telescopic conveyors reduce the need for workers to handle heavy loads. This, in turn, reduces the chances of accidents or mishaps and prevents injury. Safety features provided in the equipment include alarm systems, in case of blockages or overload, are an added benefit for ensuring safe operations during material handling in any industry. NIHVA provides telescopic conveyors that have emergency stops in three positions adhering to the highest standards of safety.

Heavy-duty Construction

Material handling requires equipment that is built to last. With demanding operations taking place day in and day out, machines like telescopic conveyors should be able to operate for long hours taking heavy loads. The main body of the conveyor should be of reliable material like 6mm IS 226 plate. Good quality motors are also needed for height adjustment and pulley system operations for length adjustments. For this reason, quality is the most important parameter for NIHVA while building industrial equipment.

Operating Telescopic Conveyors

All the benefits in the world won’t matter if the equipment is difficult to use. It is advisable to check what type of control panel and operations are provided by the manufacturer. Ease of use and smooth operation of machinery are of great value in any manufacturing industry. NIHVA manufactures custom telescopic conveyors that have the control panel on the side with bottom support. Convenient push-button controls make operation easy. In addition, the equipment has a soft start motor and belt to ensure smooth operation and a jerk-free journey for your goods.

Summing Up

Telescopic conveyors are essential equipment for industries to operate efficiently and productively. Moving away from labour-intensive and time-consuming processes is the need for any manufacturing unit wanting to take their business to the next level of success. Telescopic conveyors are the ideal choice for handling of large volumes of materials with speed. They offer versatility, cost, and save time while also enhancing productivity and workplace safety. It must be kept in mind that telescopic conveyors are customized machinery, that is manufactured based on the specific needs of a company. Industries need to choose a manufacturer that not only provides customized solutions, but also guarantees high-quality machines that will last the test of time. NIHVA is the ideal partner for telescopic conveyor systems with the right experience and expertise to provide equipment at the best prices.
