Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing Partners with German Based ANDRITZ Fiedler to Better Service the Sugar Beet Industry


Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing is proud to announce a new partnership with ANDRITZ Fiedler GmbH, a German manufacturing company specializing in high quality drilled plate for sugar beet press screens and extraction tower screens.



In a continued effort to provide customers with the best products and services, Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing has announced a partnership with German based Andritz Fiedler. This partnership will allow Conveyor Engineering to incorporate the precision drilling technology of high quality Andritz press screens with Conveyor's own high-performance screw presses and to replace worn screens on presses made by other manufacturers. By joining forces, this union will deliver higher efficiencies and reduce maintenance costs resulting in higher profits to sugar plants.



"We have used their products for the inner screens of our presses for years now with great success so we are looking forward to working with them as partners to better service the US sugar beet industry," said Graig Cone, owner of Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing.



Andritz Fielder achieves reduced energy costs and lower maintenance in a number of ways:



•Effective open area of screens optimized for maximum dewatering performance

•Bicylindrical conical geometry of drilled holes to reduce risk of clogging

•Non-perforated zones custom to each press for higher stability and less deformation

•Carefully selected materials for higher stability and longer life (Rather than commonly used 304SS, Andritz screens are made with Duplex stainless steel resulting in less deformation, longer wear and higher corrosion resistance)



This drilling technology allows for the optimal dewatering performance leading to lower energy consumption required for drying. With this technology, sugar plants will realize increased capacity, reduced energy demand, higher efficiencies, higher product quality, longer equipment life, and reduced maintenance costs.



Conveyor Engineering is confident that this partnership will complement its high quality screw presses and deliver a superior product to the sugar beet industry.



Conveyor Engineering & Mfg. Co is a full service supplier of screw conveyor equipment and general fabrication specialization in stainless steel. The company was established in a small shop outside Shueyville, Iowa in 1977 and now resides in a new 116,000 square foot location in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.



Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing offers full service engineering capabilities ranging from FEA Analysis to System 3-D Modeling. Manufacturing capabilities are enhanced by the latest in equipment operated by well trained and experienced operators.



With over 25 years of experience servicing a wide range of markets Conveyor Engineering guarantees service and quality from the customer's initial contact to final delivery.
