Sales and the 'Talent Magnet'

A lot is written about being a ‘Talent Magnet’, either as a company, or as President. It’s all good practice – listen, mentor, reward, provide clear goals and career maps. Good practice for the employer, but what about the employee?

Improve your yield with Jonge Poerink Conveyors

Jonge Poerink Conveyors | www.poerink.nl


For the past 75 years Jonge Poerink Conveyors has been building its business around customers' needs. Food manufacturers need reliable conveyors with high capacity and maximum hygiene. At the state-of-the-art Jonge Poerink production plant in Borne (the Netherlands) we create conveyors that will improve your yield, reduce your costs and help your business to grow.

75 years of experience
Jonge Poerink has a worldwide reputation as a manufacturer of curves and conveyors. For 75 years Jonge Poerink has distinguished itself in the market by providing the right curve conveyor for every application. With its knowledge of the processes and needs of the food processing industry Jonge Poerink has made innumerable innovations over the years.

Constant improvement of its products, service and support make Jonge Poerink Conveyors one of the world's leading conveyor companies.

Innovators of efficiency
What really matters in the modern, efficient and cost-effective production line is the capacity of the conveyor. Conveyors that are not precisely integrated into a production line can reduce productivity. That is why leading food industry producers choose conveying equipment made by Jonge Poerink, the 'Innovators of efficiency'.

Jonge Poerink Conveyors has the perfect solution to accelerate your production time, optimize use of available floor space and make production more cost-effective. In our product range (see ' Jonge Poerink Conveyors' product range' you will find the right conveyors for your business.

Strength combined with flexibility
If you want to boost your productivity but floor space is limited, your best choice is the JP HD (heavy-duty) high-capacity conveyor. Jonge Poerink's engineers have developed the JP HD with speed and floor space in mind. The strong hybrid conveyor belt with maximum grip allows high-speed conveying, even in tight curves, for unit loads such as six packs, trays, crates, boxes and cans. The powerful drive ensures high capacities and gives you more uptime.

The conveyor is ideal for high-capacity conveyance of heavy loads, thanks to its stainless-steel conveyor body. The strength of this conveyor means that you convey more unit loads per hour and make maximum use of your production capacity. With belt speeds of up to 60 meters per minute and loads up to 50 kg per meter, a JP HD conveyor can increase your conveying capacity considerably.

The compact design optimizes your floor capacity. JP HD conveyors have a standard curve radius of just 500 mm. The compact conveyor will fit any plant design. The fact that the JP HD has a standardized module for vertical conveying enables you to increase your efficiency (see 'Cola producer boosts efficiency'] still further.

Product safety due to hygiene
Hygienic plant and components are the decisive factors in assuring food safety. That's why Jonge Poerink Conveyors offers curves and conveyors with maximum hygiene. The conveyors have an open design, are equipped with an easy-to-clean conveyor belt and need no lubrication. Jonge Poerink's Cobra, for example, is a curve conveyor which is easy to clean (FDA guidelines) due its open structure and full stainless-steel belt. Cobra curves are often used in bakeries, the cooling industry and the drying and packing industry.

If you need to span different heights on a minimum of floor space (see 'Conveying between two levels on limited floor space'), up and down, the JP FD is your best choice. This conveyor also has an open design and is equipped with The Advantage 200 modular plastic belt with stainless-steel rods. The conveyor has a guide bearing which ensures a very low friction coefficient. As lubrication is not needed, the JP FD is the ideal conveyor for the food processing industry. The JP FD is a reliable conveyor which needs a minimum of maintenance.

Best service: no service needed
Jonge Poerink's motto is 'the best service is no service needed'. With 75 years of conveyor experience, Jonge Poerink knows its customers' needs. The Jonge Poerink engineers know the importance of trouble-free running. The technology is reliable and proven. This is the best guarantee that the conveyors will run every day and everywhere, so your downtime is minimal.

Most of Jonge Poerink's conveyors are lubricated for life. What little maintenance is needed can be done easily. Due to the open design of the conveyors, all parts are very easily accessible. The open conveyor bodies and the use of easy-to-clean conveyor belts make the conveyors excellent for the food processing industry.

The conveyors and belts have a high chemical resistance, so cleaning and disinfection with different chemicals is possible.

Up and running in no time
To reduce the downtime that you encounter when you install a new conveyor to a minimum, Jonge Poerink Conveyors develops and produces installations that are easy to install. The JP HD Conveyor, for example, can be assembled in five simple steps.

You can be sure of years of trouble-free running with Jonge Poerink Conveyors due to their reliable construction and the high quality of the parts.

Practical solutions from Jonge Poerink Conveyors

Cola producer boosts efficiency

The challenge
A major cola producer wanted to increase its output, but wasn't able to increase its floor space, so the production expansion had to take place on the same floor.

The innovative solution
The factory owner chose to install JP HD Series conveyors, which are designed for high-capacity conveyance of unit loads. Thanks to the modularized design of the JP HD series, each conveyor could easily be configured to fit the plant design.

The results
With belt speeds of up to 60 meters per minute, the cola producer could easily boost capacity by more than 10 percent. The simplicity of the design keeps operating costs low, reduces maintenance costs and maximizes the uptime of the production lines. This highly efficient production line is running 3 shifts per day, 5 - 7 days a week.

Bakery conveys between two levels on limited floor space

The challenge
A large Swiss bakery contacted Mr Hans-Peter Bürgi of SSS Fördertechnik* to solve their conveying problem. They needed to transport deep-frozen pastries from a higher level to a lower level. The floor space available was very limited and conveying products at low temperatures requires special specifications of the conveyor. Needless to say, the conveyor needed to meet the high food safety requirements that are customary in the food industry.

The innovative solution
Mr. Bürgi found the solution in Jonge Poerink's JP FD Spiral . This conveyor meets all food safety parameters. Both the conveyor and the belt (Advantage 200) have an open, hygienic design and are easy to clean. As no lubricant is needed, the JP FD Spiral is the ideal conveyor for the food industry. Due to its very compact design, with a turn ratio of 1.5, the JP FD Spiral is the ideal solution for production sites with limited floor space for cold stores. The JP FD Spiral that was installed has an incline angle of 12 degrees and spans a height of 1100 mm. Even at temperatures below 0 oC, the conveyor performs very well.

The results
SSS Fördertechnik installed the JP FD Spiral at the bakery. The conveyor has operated trouble-free right from the start, says Mr Bürgi. The JP FD Spiral is handling the low temperatures perfectly and the bakery is very satisfied with its performance.

* SSS Fördertechnik is a major OEM-er in Switzerland. SSS Fördertechnik develops, sells and installs conveyors for the food industry and other sectors.
