The pressure on organisations to minimise downtime and decrease expenditure is ever increasing and to many the essential, yet costly and time-consuming, area of conveyor belt maintenance is a challenging area. Monaflex says it has utilised 40 years of experience in the tyre repair industry to develop “a radical, lightweight conveyor belt maintenance system that changes everything.”

The Monaflex system operates effectively at 30 psi (rather than the traditional 100 psi) meaning no specialist equipment is required. The lower operating pressure means the bulky, heavy duty frameworks of traditional systems can be abandoned and the system can be transported in any standard vehicle and installed by a smaller than usual number of people.

This means that users can achieve the same quality finish the system itself is more cost-effective as there is no investment in pricey heavy metal work and assemblies; there is reduced capital outlay due to the lack of specialist vehicles or lifting equipment; and it requires a smaller core maintenance team size with no more need to utilise valuable resources to lug exceptionally heavy equipment by foot to remote locations.

Large corporations seeking to optimise their operation, those hoping to set up as independent contractors or those expanding their small business can all benefit from the cost-saving benefits of the Monaflex system.
