|
| Herringbone Roller Conveyor | A used roller conveyor consisting of two parallel series rollers having both series skewed. |
| Idler | A pulley, sheave, sprocket or wheel around which a belt, cable or chain passes in changing direction of travel. |
| Knee Brace | A structural brace at an angular position to another structural component for the purpose of providing support and/or stability of the conveyor frame. |
| Lagging | A smooth or embossed covering or coating applied to a pulley to reduce belt slippage or wear, and prevent material build up. |
| Lagged Pulley | A pulley having the surface of its face covered with lagging |
| Limit Switch | An electrical device by which the movement of a conveyor may be controlled within predetermined limits |
| Line Shaft Conveyor | Roller conveyor with carrying rollers individually powered by “o” rings from a rotating shaft. |
| Live Roller Conveyor | a series of conveyor rollers over which objects are moved by the application of power to all or some of the rollers. The power transmitting medium is usually belting or a chain |
| Metering Conveyor | In package handling, a short powered conveyor whose speed and motion are controlled to release unit loads at predetermined rate. |

Frequently Asked Questions about Used Conveyor
Q. How will I know if the equipment I am buying will work when I receive it?
A. ASI guarantees that what we quote and sell will operate when it’s received (exclusive of freight damage).
Q. Why does ASI need a 50% deposit?
A. Even though this is used equipment every unit is torn down, inspected and cut to size. At ASI you can get what you want and still save weeks of lead time while saving 45-65% off retail every day.
Q. I need a used conveyor in a tight lead time. What can ASI do for me?
A. ASI can usually get orders out in 7-14 business days. If a specific date is required a premium of 10-15% is required for overtime performance. We can make it happen!
Q. If I purchase some used gravity conveyor for a purpose but later find out a used power conveyor would have been more efficient, can I trade up?
A. Absolutely, you can simply return the gravity with a minimum restocking fee and we will apply the balance toward a used power conveyor purchase of your choice.
Q. Does ASI provide installation of my used conveyor purchase?
A. Yes we do! If you are considering this option figure 25-30% of the conveyors cost as a budget figure. Call your ASI rep for a firm price.
Q. Does ASI buy used conveyor?
A. Yes! We buy used conveyors in bulk and we stock over 300,000 lf of conveyor.
Q. How can I pay for my used conveyor?
A. We accept company check, wire transfers, Visa, Mastercard, bank checks and cash.
Q. Can I visit ASI and see my conveyor options?
A. Absolutely, we encourage you to do so. It’s a little overwhelming though when you arrive. Our conveyors are not assembled prior to sale. We will show you our conveyor shop and orders in holding waiting to ship.
Q. What type of experience does ASI have in selling and processing used conveyor orders?
A. We have four salesmen on staff with between 12-25 years experience and our conveyor mechanics have between 15-25 years. Rest assured we just don’t flip conveyor orders like other dealers. We have a well experienced staff that can get you what you need.
