Bulk handling equipment solutions company
Mr Blade is designed to maintain and replace belt-cleaner blades, and the direct-to-site service is already available in the USA and UK.
Martin Engineering says the the programme is an efficient way for materials manufacturers to improve productivity by helping to keep their conveyor belts running to achieve optimum performance.
The company says it developed Mr Blade after studies found that 9 out of 10 conveyor belt cleaners in operation were not installed or maintained properly.
In Italy, Martin Engineering already provides a range of conveyor belt solutions in industries including energy and steel. The Mr Blade programme extends this offering to smaller sites - such as quarries, concrete and asphalt plants – which may not have their own on-site resources to maintain every aspect of the plant.
Andrea Passoni, Martin Engineering’s business unit manager for Italy, said: “Many construction materials producers believe that carry-back and spillage from conveyor belts is inevitable. But it’s not – at Martin Engineering we have the know-how and the products to solve these issues."
Martin Engineering says it expects to launch Mr Blade in other European countries later this year.
