Lasting Link: The Intralox Connection
Durability and performance. They're key considerations for every RMT installation and fundamental to every RMT Robotics product. To build the best automation solutions available today, RMT relies on products that meet the highest standards in quality. It's the reason RMT engineers insist on Intralox conveyor belting.
Intralox invented the modular plastic conveyor belt in 1971. The unique belt design uses molded plastic parts that are assembled in an interlocking pattern, then connected with hinge rods. The belts are lightweight, energy efficient and easy to maintain. They can be made to order in any width or length.
"We always specify Intralox when we buy product from a conveyor supplier," says Bill Torrens, Director Sales and Marketing at RMT Robotics. "Intralox is a reliable product, and it allows the operational solution to be very simple. The advantage of Intralox is the quick and easy integration of periphery automation necessary for sortation."
RMT isn't alone in its admiration. Today, Intralox belts are considered the gold standard in the tire industry, replacing traditional belt technology that is more mechanically and electrically complex, and prone to damage.
"In the tire industry, RMT has consistently employed Intralox belting for single line sortation. Our experience in the tire industry has certainly allowed us to see its merits and advantages," says Torrens. “While the technology isn't as common in case sortation, we've adopted it for all of our warehousing solutions that require belting."
Torrens says the Intralox product is a perfect fit with RMT's philosophy. "We're always looking for creative ways of solving problems better, and the Intralox product is a very simple, but highly effective solution. For that reason I think the company has a very bright future."
