In today’s fast-moving manufacturing environment, inefficiency isn’t just inconvenient — it’s expensive. Businesses relying on legacy conveyor systems often underestimate just how much these outdated setups are draining their bottom line. Whether it’s unplanned downtime, high labor requirements, or excessive maintenance, these hidden costs add up fast.
Downtime: The Unseen Budget Killer
One of the most costly elements of an inefficient system is unplanned downtime. Old or generic conveyor systems are prone to belt misalignment, frequent jams, or component failure. Every minute spent troubleshooting is a minute your production line isn’t moving. These stop-start moments don’t just cause frustration—they can delay shipments, disrupt workflows, and put strain on labor resources trying to compensate.
At JanTec, we see this problem every day—and we’ve built our solutions to address it head-on.
Labor & Maintenance: Working Harder, Not Smarter
Manual interventions and constant oversight are often required to keep outdated systems running. Older conveyors demand frequent belt changes, detailed clean-downs, and hands-on corrections for every small product that doesn’t quite transfer right. It’s a setup that relies too heavily on people doing the work that a well-engineered system should handle automatically.
Our PRN Power Turn, for example, utilizes a pinch roller drive system that applies minimal pressure at both ends, reducing stress on the belt and virtually eliminating jams—even for items as small as a dime. The system’s full belt drive (not just the outer edge) allows for smooth, balanced movement and reduced maintenance. Need washdown capabilities? The stainless-steel model is built for quick, tool-free access and easy sanitization—no disassembly required.
Custom Systems That Work the Way You Do
Unlike one-size-fits-all equipment, JanTec’s solutions are custom-built for your floorplan, product type, and production goals. Whether you’re dealing with tight spaces, heavy loads, or delicate transfers, we’ll design a system that works with your operation—not against it.
