Syntron Material Handling (SMH), a global pioneer in innovative solutions, can help customers to improvise their existing technology used in the material handling operations. Syntron Material Handling facilitates companies to grow by investing in engineering capabilities, manufacturing efficiency, and customer service. Established in May 2014, SMH was built out of the legacies of Link-Belt Company and Syntron Company, formerly owned by FMC Technologies. Since 1880, the Link-Belt brand has provided a variety of solutions for handling materials in bulk. Link-Belt conveyor idlers, screw conveyors, and bucket elevators are on the job around the world, around the clock, maximizing productivity with proven, reliable conveying solutions. Syntron has stood for versatile, economical feeding systems for a wide range of processing applications since 1934.

The expert team at SMH assists companies with conveying, feeding, screening, elevating, vibratory flow aids, and mining controls of bulk products. Whether it’s optimizing current systems or starting from the bottom up on new and bespoke plants or mines, SMH ensures efficient and cost-effective solutions. SMH’s products such as Link-Belt® tapered bearing idler rolls are perfectly suited for continuous material handling operations moving massive volumes of tough, abrasive materials such as coal, iron ore, and rock products. Boasting load ratings that exceed CEMA requirements, this rugged line is available in CEMA D, E, and F series models. Each roller is equipped with a solid carbon steel shaft for minimum deflection under load, resulting in increased service life. Another efficient product is Syntron heavy-duty electromagnetic feeders that increase bulk handling productivity with controlled high feed rates that improve cost-per-ton handling efficiency. These versatile feeders are capable of handling a variety of materials from the finest powders to large, coarse particles. SMH leverages its entire raft of such products in various industries and enhances operational efficacy.

In the aggregates and sands industry, SMH provides solutions for conveying, vibrating, and screening needs.

The SYNTRO-FLO cone crusher loading feeder by Syntron is an MF two-mass tuned direct drive vibratory feeder with an engineered discharge uniquely designed for equal distribution of the product. In addition, Link- Belt belt conveyor idlers and components set the standard of excellence for bulk material handling throughout the world. Link-Belt ball bearing idlers are radically different from competitive belt conveyor idlers because they incorporate an interference-fit pressed head design to maintain roll integrity. This head design eliminates welding and any of its associated problems (such as distortion, misalignment, or poor weld quality) and delivers very low total indicator runout (TIR) values compared to welded roll designs.

From aggregates to coal, to plastics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other processes, Syntron screen feeders are employed to the scalp, separate, size, de-dust, and de-water bulk products. Powered by highly efficient electromagnetic drives which provide gentle handling with minimal product degradation, Syntron screen feeders have no moving parts, which means no lubrication is required and ongoing maintenance is minimal.

Furthermore, SMH underground mining systems include Link-Belt conveyors, energy-efficient electric drives, as well as terminal and power transmission components, which represent the most important technological breakthroughs in over 40 years. It helps the systems run at peak efficiency with unrivaled service and dependability. SMH‘s Food processing equipment helps to transform raw ingredients into finished consumables by use of feeding, mixing, and sorting to name a few. Syntron and Link-Belt products provide a traditional and simple way to convey bulk materials. Stainless Steel screw conveyors, mixers, and vibratory feeders are ideal for all food processing needs.

Over the years SMH has helped many clients operating in different industries to resolve issues relating to material handling. For instance, due to late delivery from another manufacturer, one of SMH’s customers continued to experience maintenance problems with broken rolls and extended downtime. To solve the problem, SMH provided C3000 series idlers with tapered roller bearings. These rolls provide extended life with little to no maintenance and cater to the needs of the customer.

Moreover, SMH offers on-site factory-trained service technicians who are knowledgeable, well-trained and have years of experience in process improvements, troubleshooting, tuning, testing, installations, and repair for Link-Belt and Syntron equipment. By investing in engineering capabilities, manufacturing efficiency, and customer service, SMH is committed to achieving newer heights of success and growth.
