Add 90° right turns or 30° diversions with the new MDR High Speed Electric Transfer and Diverter modules from Hilmot

Transfer and diversion modules add flexibility to motorized drive roller conveyor systems by accommodating changing material handling applications

MILWAUKEE, Wis., (February 16, 2016) - The new MDR High Speed Electric Transfer (HCAT90) and Diverter (HCAT30) modules from Hilmot (www.hilmot.com) gives users added flexibility in configuring their packaging or tote-handling applications by allowing 90° right turns and 30° diversions to their motorized drive roller conveyor systems.

The HCAT90 Transfer is ideal for any application where a 90° right turn is needed, such as sortation, distribution or assembly. The HCAT30 Diverter provides a 30° angle to move packages and totes to a separate line. Both modules use three MDR conveyors to provide the rollers, belts and lifting motion.

A key feature in both the HCAT90 Transfer and HCAT30 Diverter modules is that they're fully powered by 24 volt DC electricity for lower cost and quiet, efficient operation. This design element removes the need to run tubing and pneumatics from a compressor unit, through the conveyor system to the modules. No electric actuator or pneumatic cylinder is needed.

Additionally, both modules are engineered to handle higher rates (40 products per minute for the HCAT90; 50 products per minute for the HCAT30). The HCAT90 features a low profile frame for easy stacking of multi level conveyor lines, while the HCAT30 can be located virtually anywhere along the conveyor line, with multiple diverter modules being placed as few as 60 inches apart. Both modules can be added into existing MDR conveyor systems with minor modifications.

Features and benefits of the HCAT 90 Transfer include:
• Standard widths from 15" to 36" between frame (18" to 39" over all width); other sizes can be custom built to accommodate different dimensions
• 24", 30" or 36" zone lengths
• Belt speeds about 150 feet per minute
• Accommodate packages as small as 8" x 8"
• Built-in sensor bar, one per zone at zone in-feed
• Pre-wired for factory testing and quick installation
• 24 volt DC brushless, 1.9" diameter motorized rollers
• Shroud or fascia
• Networked with bus technology available
• Precision bearings in idler rollers

Features and benefits of the HCAT 30 Diverter include:
• Standard widths from 15" to 36" between frame; other sizes can be custom built to accommodate different dimensions
• 30" or 36" zone lengths
• Belt speeds about 150 feet per minute
• Accommodate packages as small as 8" x 8"
• Pre-wired for factory testing and quick installation
• 24 volt DC brushless, 1.9" diameter motorized rollers
• Networked with bus technology available
• Precision bearings in idler rollers

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
