Do you need to improve the efficiency of your production lines and packing stations?

Rotary turntables (also known as Lazy Susans) provide a simple yet effective solution for loading and unloading items in production areas, whilst ensuring maximum efficiency.

But when are rotary turntables required, and why should you always opt for one that’s made from stainless steel?

Allow Stainless Steel Manufacturing & Equipment (SSME) to explain.

What are rotary turntables used for?

Rotary turntables are designed for a range of applications, across a variety of industries – including food, drink, chemical clean rooms, and pharmaceuticals.

They can be used as standalone products or as part of an integrated product-handling system – allowing goods to accumulate before they are packaged.

Either way, a rotating turntable will speed up production processes, saving your business time and money.

Most have side rails, too. These prevent products from sliding off and ending up on the floor, which reduces wastage.

What are the benefits of using a stainless steel rotary turntable?

Turntables are manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel, which is the most versatile and widely used type of stainless steel.

Below, we look at some of the key reasons why you should choose a stainless steel rotary turntable.

· Application

Stainless steel rotary turntables can be used to support the operations of businesses in various sectors – ranging from food manufacturers to pharmaceutical companies, and many more.

They can be integrated with existing systems, acting as an infeed or outfeed conveyor, or offering a product-handling solution. Fixed and variable speed options are also available, giving you more control over the unit and allowing you to adjust the speed to suit the production line and user.

· Cost-effectiveness

304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and is extremely durable. A stainless steel rotary turntable can endure average exposures whilst providing an easy way to load and discharge products within your production facility.

Its durable stainless steel construction helps to deliver lasting efficiency, and makes it easier (and cheaper) for you to clean and maintain.

· Hygiene

Hygiene is vital in most manufacturing sectors, particularly food production plants. Luckily, stainless steel’s durability makes it easy to sanitise – simply requiring a quick wipe-down with a cloth after every use.

Aside from saving you time and effort on cleaning, stainless steel turntables help your business to comply with strict food hygiene guidelines.
