Airmatic Offers Martin Conveyor Belt-Driven Generators


An industrial distributor based in Malvern, PA, Airmatic Inc. represents more than 600 leading manufacturers. Among the products that Airmatic Inc. offers is the Roll Gen™ System from its core-product supplier Martin Engineering®. 

This is a self-supporting mini-generator unit that can power safety mechanisms and electrical monitoring systems by harnessing a moving conveyor belt’s kinetic energy. The generator can be engaged on basically any steel roller, eliminating the need to have a special set of rollers, and it can be installed on any support structures, such as a belt tracker, that are already existing. It is an attractive alternative to using auxiliary power that requires costly labor, oversized cables, transformers, junction boxes, conduits, and other components. Further, introducing even a small conventional generator to generate power brings new concerns such as flammable fuel issues. 

As conveyors progress into the next advanced stage of smart systems that are autonomous and more sustainable, the device is an initial accomplishment in feasibly producing the required power. This power-generating device makes possible the installation of safety mechanisms and electrical monitoring systems, replacing the need for technicians to perform the challenging and time-consuming task of physically walking along the entire conveyor system in order to monitor its performance.

Individuals interested in learning more about the Roll Gen™ System or other belt conveyor products from Airmatic can call the company at 800.332.9770 or send an email inquiry to infocenter@airmatic.com.
