Installing a conveyor in a cleanroom can improve productivity radically, but not all models are cheap or suitable. Dynamic Conveyor Corporation looks at the issues.
When analysing a cleanroom conveyor, there are various aspects to consider, including initial cost, total cost of ownership, maintenance needs, noise levels, energy consumption, flexibility and cleanroom classification.
The total cost of ownership is an important step in evaluating the purchase of a cleanroom conveyor system but analysis should go beyond the initial capital investment and installation costs to include: How will energy costs affect the long-term return on investment? What are the preventative maintenance requirements? How often and at what cost will the belt need to be replaced? What is the expected lifespan of the equipment?
Answering these questions will help in evaluating the best conveyor system choice for the long-term.
