PANEL MANUFACTURING<br />
improve reliability, and other innovations<br />
have made replacement of consumables<br />
easier.<br />
The use of the unit is improved too<br />
with simplified electronic controls<br />
and easier adjustment. Structural<br />
improvements have also improved<br />
stability and allowed the base and rail<br />
on which the unit sits to be locked,<br />
minimising risks of movement caused<br />
by vibration. This offers advantages<br />
over the traditional repair technique of<br />
belt turning, which requires the belt to<br />
be cut, removed, turned, remounted<br />
and rejoined, a process that could take<br />
days. Once mounted in place, the tool<br />
can repair a deformed belt in between<br />
three to 18 hours, depending on the<br />
belt dimension, thickness and degree of<br />
deformation.<br />
The Shotpeener Pro is the latest<br />
addition to IPCO’s QuickTool family,<br />
a range of installation, maintenance<br />
and repair tools available to IPCO’s<br />
South East <strong>Asia</strong> belt service team<br />
in Singapore. Others include the<br />
QuickDisc family of repairs tools, used<br />
to replace damaged sections of belt; the<br />
QuickBench, for training manufacturers’<br />
in-house teams; and the QuickAnnealer<br />
and Peak Leveller. P<br />
The Shotpeener Pro<br />
is portable, and can<br />
restore steel belts<br />
without interrupting<br />
production<br />
