The Ever Versatile Gap Transfer

New England Machinery has one machine that has numerous uses. We call it our NEDP, Gap Transfer. This one machine has been seen over the years by thousands of visitors to our booths at trade shows. We use it at the shows to launch our famous ‘flying yellow bottles’. But in reality it is our most versatile machine that has numerous practical uses in a production facility.

In its most simplest use, the NEDP is a gap transfer. It will take empty or filled containers from one conveyor to another. It can be used to hold and transfer containers for bottom coding, it can be used to side transfer containers, it will assist unstable containers to pass over a dead plate, it can be used to depuck containers or elevating or lowering containers. The NEDP can be mounted onto the customer’s existing conveyor, or on its own stainless steel stand, it can be cantilevered over a conveyor. One machine – multiple uses. Versatility at its finest!

Service Contracts – When Should You Have Them?

Does your company have service contracts with the manufacturers of the machines you purchase? If not, do you have an in-house maintenance dept. that keeps your machines well maintained? If you do not have the in-house capability to support full time maintenance personnel to your production lines, then you should seriously consider requesting maintenance contracts with your vendors.

New England Machinery offers Maintenance Contracts that are individually designed to meet the exact requirements of our customers. The contracts take into consideration the number of NEM machines you are running and the amount of shifts. This is the perfect answer for keeping your machines running to their optimum performance all year. Our service techs will review the machines, replace any worn parts, advise personnel on how to set up and run the machine properly and recommend any needed upcoming replacement parts. The cost of the Maintenance Contract will be offset by the uptime and performance of the machines. Your machines will last longer and run better if they are being properly maintained. Let your machinery manufacturer take over that burden with a service contract.

Are You Planning for 2016?

It may seem like the new year is still a ways off, but it will be here before you know it. Now is the perfect time to plan for what you will do different and better in 2016. What were the challenges that your company faced in the past year? What can you do differently in 2016 to either resolve those issues or at least improve on the results?

If you want 2016 to be a better year, you need to make changes. You cannot expect things to improve if you continue to do the same things in the same way. Do an honest analysis of what and how you and your company perform and determine where your weaknesses lie. Chart a course of action to shore up the areas of vulnerability and take some bold steps to make a concerted, positive move in a new direction. You can make 2016 the best year ever, but start now to plan on how you will make that happen.
