Cost-efficient and ultra reliable, airstream (aero-mechanical) conveyors offer a long-life, cost-effective packaging solution and are ideally suited for high-speed carton applications.

Sewtec Automation has enhanced its portfolio of FMCG automated handling equipment with the introduction of an airstream (aero-mechanical) conveyor range, ideally suited for high-speed carton applications. Cost-efficient and ultra reliable, Sewtec airstream conveyors offer a long-life, cost-effective packaging solution, adding to the manufacturer's ever-growing list of innovative products available to the FMCG sector. Sewtec airstream conveyors, particularly when allied to Sewtec's extensive turnkey solution capabilities and machine control expertise, lend themselves to the most challenging applications and have already been specified by a leading UK confectionery manufacturer.

They can be supplied in any length and layout, including horizontal, inclined or vertical configurations, and in lines that turn through angles of up to and including 90 deg.

Utilising electric fans and efficient air ducting systems, Sewtec airstream conveyors provide a high speed yet gentle throughput, which totally eliminates product scuffing and associated damage.

With a minimal number of moving parts, Sewtec airstream conveyors are also extremely reliable and virtually maintenance-free.

Complementing its airstream conveyors, Sewtec has an in-depth knowledge of all conveyor types and associated technology, and can supply a wide range of products as 'stand alone' or as part of a larger turnkey solution.

The company has designed and developed many special conveyor systems, for integration into its special purpose solutions, and is able to offer them as bespoke equipment.

These products include standard packaging belt conveyors, 'swan neck' conveyors, slat bands, large product conveyors, converging/diverging conveyors and naked product handling conveyors.

In addition to and further complementing its conveyor expertise, Sewtec has extensive knowledge of controls and associated technology, from PLC, vision systems, motion control and industrial PCs.

All control systems can be configured to end-user requirements.

Priding itself on being a 'complete solution provider', Sewtec Automation, of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, UK, is a leading specialist machine builder and project engineering company, with a wealth of experience designing and manufacturing special purpose automated solutions, working predominantly in the food process, packaging, tobacco and pharmaceutical industries.
