Simplified Equipment Changeouts

Swapping out equipment can be challenging—especially when sizes differ, leaving gaps between machines. Traditionally, this can cause costly downtime to “rebuild” the line and ensure smooth transitions.

Nercon’s retractable conveyor solves this problem:

  • Opens or closes with a simple hand crank
  • Eliminates the need to rebuild the line for equipment changes
  • Smoothly connects process equipment without disruption
