ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH

SOMOS 200 Series Conveyors and Conveyor Stations

Your material goes mobile with ProTec conveyors!

For many years, ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH (former MANN+HUMMEL ProTec GmbH) has been known as a reliable and experienced partner to the plastics industry. The companys world renowned brands SOMOS and OHL stand for efficient material handling and ready to use recycling plants. Conveyors from ProTec have proven themselves in practice worldwide for decades. Discover know-how and innovation strength that will increase your productive capacity also! Our FG 200 series is already an essential element for cost-effective production in all kinds of industries, e. g. for: n n Individual parts and finished goods (parts for vehicle and machine construction, home and garden pro- ducts, toys, furniture, sporting goods, medical and hygiene products) Packaging (bags, bottles, transport containers) They ensure the reliable and efficient high-capacity automatic charging of tanks, scales, mixers, dosing systems, drying systems and processing machines. Therefore, the systems are successfully in use in the plastics, rubber, recycling, foodstuff, chemicals and pharmaceutical industries. A multitude of the properties of the FG 200 series systems - such as the tried-and-tested transparent and highly wear-resistant conveyors, the functional suction conveyor principle, the blower (integrated or separate) and the extremely long service life allow them to be used as needed by the processor to establish efficient production. Find out for yourself all that conveyor specialists ProTec Polymer Processing have to offer. Do not hesitate to call us! Our team will be pleased to support you.

The high-performance ProTec Polymer Processing conveyors have been specially designed for the highest individual requirements with granular or dusty, free flowing bulk goods.

Flexibility - the principle of success

Our conveyors are characterised by their simple and individual handling in injection moulding and extrusion processes. Depending on the area of application, the user can choose between transparent polycarbonate conveyors or stainless steel conveyors. The tried-andtested polycarbonate conveyors make the conveying process visible at a glance. They are still perfectly suitable for conveying abrasive plastics (e.g. containing glass fibre) and are characterised by a long service life with high throughputs. The modular design of the conveyors ensures an extremely flexible adaptation to the injection moulding and extrusion process. Thanks to the low weight (approx. 10 kg), the conveyors can be easily and rapidly cleaned. This advantage is particularly useful in terms of time and operating expenses when material is changed frequently and/or small quantities are produced. With the easily visible display, an operator can quickly check the conveyors status, even from some distance away. Among further options, the systems can be equipped with automatic cleaning (compressed air) which can be managed with the controller. Optional extras are: n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n Material hopper in two materials available Hinged lid (can also be retrofitted) Conveyor pipe lines High-temperature-resistant design (HT/for conveyed materials with temperatures of up to 150C) Integrated or external level indicator Special voltages Machine hopper Retaining lid Volume extension for conveyors Hose assemblies Suction tubes Dosing valves Dosing cap Fault indicator Removable control unit Optimal conveyor solutions are tailored precisely to your usage conditions. Thanks to modular subassemblies, the spare part storage can be kept to a minimum, even when using different system types. This saves time and space and frees up resources for other important tasks. The modularity of the systems makes them extremely easy to service. Short delivery times ensure fast implementation of your plans. This allows you to present solutions quickly to your customers. Once the systems are on-site, there is nothing stopping you getting off the blocks quickly. Plug-and-play is the name of the game. Every basic conveyor system comes with a conveyor with built-in conveyor air filter, an integrated or separate blower, a conveyor hose with suction tube, a suitable control unit and a power cable as standard. The FG 200 series conveyor stations are available in polycarbonate and stainless steel designs. The conveyor stations are equipped with a filter bag or filter plate to separate the conveyed material from the conveyor air.

ProTec Polymer Processing - Always at your side

Globally networked sales and service structure Not only do we strive to offer our customers demanding products in the highest quality, but we also strive to ensure that these products are efficiently utilized and that the optimal production conditions are created. We advise and assess in advance, however we do not transfer responsibility once weve been commissioned. Instead we forward this to our extensively trained service team that makes an on-site visit to ensure that all equipment and systems are optimally serviced and set up. We do not only provide this service in Germany, but worldwide as well. A network consisting of our own employees and complemented by the well-trained staff members from our trusted representative offices is quickly mobilized to be on-site not only when things get dicey but also for regular service visits from time to time.
