2016 marks Dynamic Conveyor Corporation’s 25th year in the conveyor manufacturing business. Located in Muskegon, Michigan, Dynamic Conveyor has grown to become a leader in the design and building of innovative modular conveyor solutions to the parts manufacturing and food processing industries.
The company began when founder Curtis Chambers had a need to move parts out of his plastic injection molding machines, and found traditional steel conveyors to be too large, bulky, and impractical for modern manufacturing processes. Chambers began building conveyors himself, developing designs that would allow for portability, modularity, and a more affordable way to swap out parts and pieces when they broke.
Portable, Reconfigurable Conveyors are Introduced to Manufacturers
Dynamic Conveyor Corporation first introduced the DynaCon conveyor system (originally known as the CON-NEX-IONS line) to the injection molding industry in 1991. The unique conveyor systems allow manufacturers the ability to build their own conveyors, using individual modules — similar to Lego® building blocks — to configure and later reconfigure their custom conveyor system layouts. Injection molded plastic conveyor parts are used to build the modules, which produce strong and durable conveyors, while remaining lightweight enough to be easily moved and reconfigured as needed.
Traditional conveyors would often be discarded by manufacturers when problems arose, like a “totaled” car. With DynaCon portable conveyors, parts and pieces can easily be swapped, and additional modules can be added in to produce incline conveyors, bucket conveyors, and more. This results in considerable long-term savings to businesses, as well as a sustainable, eco-friendly solution.
DynaClean: A New Line of Food Handling Conveyors
In 2011, Dynamic Conveyor introduced The DynaClean™ line of conveyors to the food processing and pharmaceutical industries. This line of conveyors brought a cost-saving alternative to traditional stainless steel conveyors to even more manufacturers. DynaClean offers a patented sanitary conveyor design that is incredibly quick and easy to disassemble and clean. There are no tools necessary to take the conveyors apart, no small parts to lose, and no nooks and crannies to clean. Their open design eliminates places for food or bacteria to hide, and they meet NSF, FDA, USDA and BISCC standards. This makes them ideal for use as food grade conveyors. DynaClean food handling conveyors are known in the food processing industry for reducing cleaning times in half.
Flexible Designs, Options, and Accessories
All Dynamic Conveyor systems, including both DynaCon modular conveyors and DynaClean washdown conveyors, provide flexibility of design. Choices for length, width, inclines, declines, lateral turns, belt styles an array of accessory options, and even adaptability to meet federal clean room conveyor standards, are just some of the customizations that help manufacturers make their processes more efficient. Belt conveyor designs also require no maintenance, lubrication, or need for belt tracking. All of these benefits have helped Dynamic Conveyor to continue to grow and provide cost-effective conveying solutions to many different industries.
Celebrate the Past, Plan for the Future
Dynamic Conveyor continues to make improvements and additions to their custom conveyor systems. Just this year, Dynamic Conveyor announced that their DynaClean line now offers the ability for customers to take DynaClean food conveyors into very cold environments, conveying product as cold as -50° F. This spirit of innovation helps drive a business to continue celebrating anniversaries, and Dynamic Conveyor is no exception.
Dynamic Conveyor is a second generation business now owned by the daughters of its founder, Curtis Chambers. “Our 25th anniversary has given us the opportunity to celebrate the past and plan for the future,” said Jill Batka, president of Dynamic Conveyor. “We are very proud of our history and appreciate the customer loyalty we have experienced over the past 25 years. We strive to offer products that provide cost-saving advantages to our customers and are looking forward to continuing for the next 25 years and beyond.”
Congratulations to Dynamic Conveyor on 25 years of continuing to innovate and improve conveyor systems. Here’s to the future!
