Conveyor designer gains new functions

mk is expanding its service range and enhancing its QuickDesigner conveyor configurator. The available options now also include adjustable side rails and new stand systems and MEPCA discovered.

The wide range of possible conveyor system variants is almost endless, so mk offers conveyor design technology online for fast and easy configuration of an individual belt conveyor. The configurator, which can be found online at www.quickdesigner.com, generates a 3D model and quotation. There is an automatic plausibility check, detailed help and live preview. Customers can view all configurations in ‘my account’, which can then be saved, retrieved, and edited later.

Three top-selling models for different weight and requirement classes are available as a basis for the configuration. These can be adapted intuitively and with ease to meet individual requirements.

And now, two new options have been added to the QuickDesigner. This enables mk to respond to its customers’ requirements in even greater detail and provide an even larger variety of variants.

One new addition is the adjustable side rails SF01 and SF03, which are now available alongside the range of fixed side rails. This side rail is a particularly effective solution for positioning products on the conveyor belt. The usable width is quick and easy to change, and the height can also be adjusted. The large selection of different side guide rails ensures the optimum adjustment to the contour of the product being conveyed.

In addition, the heavy-duty stand 31, based on the mk 2031 and mk 2000 profiles, has been added to the range of stands. This stand is a more robust version of the height-adjustable, medium weight stand 53.2, based on the mk 2001 profile. This H-design system can be used in practically every conveyor system and is available in standard heights of 325 to 2000mm with adjustable ranges of +/-25 to +/-200mm.

“We are constantly improving our QuickDesigner range to ensure that we meet the needs of our customers,” commented Darren Whiteside, Director at mk Profile Systems.
