When you need your system moved and/or reconfigured, we cover all the bases.
Remcon has done many system moves for customers who are changing locations or moving equipment from one plant to another. Remcon can cover all aspects of the move, including:
In some cases, it has been cost effective to have some or all of the parts of the system shipped to Remcon's shop to modify, refurbish, and repaint the equipment prior to shipment to the new location for installation.
Contact us to discuss the condition of your equipment and the possibility of reusing it in a new configuration or in a new location. We can work with you to determine if this is a cost-effective path to consider, and will help you get the most for your money.
- Measuring for and designing the new system
- Dismantling of old system
- Labeling of parts for reassembly
- Packaging and loading equipment for shipping
- Unloading of equipment at new location
- Modifying the equipment as needed for use in the new location
- Repurposing functioning conveyors
- Shortening/lengthening conveyors
- Changing the angle of incline
- Adding transitions or chutes
- Changing the orientation of a conveyor (adding an elbow-up or nose-over, inclining a horizontal conveyor)
- Reassembly and installation of equipment in new system
- System start-up and fine-tuning of material flow

Past Reconfiguration and Moving Projects:
SORT LINE RELOCATION, REPAIR, & INSTALLATION (Des Moines, IA)
Bunker walls & platform in storage
Sorting conveyor in storage
Relocated drag chain with rubber belt style Sort Line Feed Conveyor
Relocated and fully assembled sorting line
The photos above show sort line equipment that Remcon was hired to move out of storage and install in a new plant in 2006. The equipment relocated included a drag chain with rubber belt chain conveyor, which fed a sorting conveyor with sorting stations on a platform with bunker walls. It was thought that the chain belt conveyor was in need of a new belt, but Remcon was able to repair the damage to make the belt usable again. In conjunction with the equipment relocation, Remcon also provided additional new equipment and support structure for the same plant. |
SORT LINE RELOCATION, REBUILD, & INSTALLATION (Kent, WA)
Torch-cut platform sections in storage
Platform parts in Remcon shop prior to re-fabrication
Completed sorting area on platform
Modified Sort Line Feed Conveyor in new location
Completed sorting platform installed on top of bunker walls
The photos above show a sort line platform and equipment that was taken out of a customer's facility and put into storage. The platform was cut into pieces with a torch, without much thought towards re-using the pieces. When Remcon was hired to put the pieces back together at a new facility, careful engineering and clever fabrication and repair work was done in our shop ahead of time to make everything usable again. Remcon installed the platform and sorting conveyor with drop chutes on top of existing bunker walls at the new location, and a feed conveyor was installed to feed the sorting conveyor in a new configuration. |
RELOCATING AN E-SORT SYSTEM (Chicago/Detroit)
System in original location, prior to disassembly and moving
System in new location, after moving and re-assembly
Compressor room in original location, prior to disassembly and moving
Compressor equipment in new location, after moving, reassembly, and re-plumbing
Completed sorting platform installed on top of bunker walls
When an E-Sort Recycling Facility decided to move their operation from Illinois to Michigan, Remcon was hired to move a system that they had partially build and installed a few years prior. Remcon labeled and dismantled all the machinery and platform structure, including the air compressor piping and electrical conduit. Then they loaded it all onto trucks, and drove some of it themselves to Michigan. Once there, they unpacked and reassembled the equipment in basically the exact same configuration as it was previously installed in. They also reconfigured the air compressor and air lines supplying the optical sorter that was part of the system. |
