Co-Operative
modify existing system to incorporate UPM Conveyors,
to meet all new
regulations for food contact
The
Co-Operative Farms who are the largest farmer in the UK
currently farming over 70000 acres in England and Scotland
recently decided to improve the efficiency of their potato
handling system in Tamworth Staffs by modifying existing
conveyors to incorporate two 180 degree bends supplied by UPM
Conveyors in their all plastic Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene (UHMWPE) construction which meet all of the new
regulations for food contact approval.
Simon Wood Engineering Manager of Co-Operative Farms commented
that quote “UPM Conveyors clearly take pride in their
workmanship in producing such excellent quality products which
shows they care about their customers needs and that reflects
on the reaction from their customers operators who feel
appreciated so we will definitely use UPM again in the future
and will recommend them to our other divisions” unquote. UPM
were able to enhance the design of the UHMWPE belt conveyors
by incorporating a channel top and bottom in the conveyor side
wall so the belt locates and is guided eliminating the need to
track or tension the belt.
