CSS Releases Updated Application Guidelines for Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors

The Conveyors and Sortation Systems (CSS) industry group of MHI is pleased to announce completed updates to their Application Guidelines for Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors document.

 

The VRC subcommittee of CSS is responsible for the revision and maintenance of the application guidelines and works within the CSS community to develop information specific to vertical reciprocating conveyors. 

 

The document, for use in conjunction with ASME B20.1, is intended to illustrate to VRC equipment suppliers, installers, end users, inspectors, or others a clear and definitive argument as to the validity of applying only ASME B20.1 to Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors. This application guideline is intended to specifically apply to Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRC) which are designed to raise and lower materials from one elevation to another. Equipment covered by this Application Guideline falls under ASME/ANSI B20.1-Safety Standard for Conveyors and Related Equipment.
