Since 2015, Erie Technical Systems, Inc. has relied on Roemer Industries for high-performance identification solutions.
Erie Technical Systems is a premier provider of quality bulk material handling solutions, specializing in advanced unloading and filling equipment to material transfer components — designed to withstand industrial environments.
They needed a nameplate that could do more than just label a machine. They were looking for a solution that would:
- Withstand stressors: Resist chemical washdowns, grease and grime.
- Streamline support: Provide customers with an immediate point of contact.
- Facilitate maintenance: Allow for quick identification of project specifications via stamped serial numbers.
Roemer Industries delivered a custom screen-printed aluminum nameplate engineered for longevity. Aluminum is lightweight yet rugged, allowing for moderate abrasion resistance, which makes it the ideal candidate for harsh conditions.
“We worked with Roemer Industries to design a custom tag that fits our needs — exactly. The quality of the tags they manufacture is the best we have found. Their customer support is always friendly and helpful,” said Tim Porco, President of Erie Technical Systems.
The tags were bolted to their FlexMAX® flexible screw conveyor. The conveyor transfers bulk material like food, chemicals and plastics from one process to another.
The tags are stamped with the serial number to quickly identify the original project, saving time. The serial number can quickly be linked back to the drawings and manual for the equipment.
Additionally, the tags provide company name and contact details to get in touch with the factory for support, reducing downtime and simplifying the ordering of replacement parts.
Erie Technical Systems flexible screw conveyors are used in some extremely harsh industrial environments, as are their additional bulk material transfer products, and the tags are now a standard fixture across all Erie Technical systems material handling equipment.
Why Aluminum Nameplates?
For material handling systems, metal tags like aluminum are best due to:
- Durability: High resistance to abrasion and environmental wear.
- Customization: Easily stamped with variable data (serial numbers, dates).
- Visibility: High-contrast screen printing remains legible even in “dirty” industrial settings.
