Weighted skate wheels were being used in a case sealer application which caused the center of the box to compress and thus not seal very well. So Brian Hester of AEC and Omni Conveyor, put together an idea of this adjustable dual belt conveyor that will allow the customer to adjust both the height of the opening as well as the width internally. Both belts are ran from a single drive unit with a pulley system and on the outside is a gauge so the operator can easily tune the height before the run of product. Top belt is Teflon coated to try and keep the glue buildup down and both are v guided belts. See a video of this conveyor on the AEC Youtube Channel by clicking the following link Omni Case Sealer Conveyor .

Lois Floyd is honored for 25 years of service!
At the 2010 annual Advanced Equipment Company Christmas Party held on December 23rd, the company celebrated our latest milestone. Lois Floyd was presented with the AEC Eagle Award for 25 years of dedicated service, an honor for a growing group of employees past and present within the AEC family.
Lois is the Eighth recipient of this distinguished award. Larry Abernathy presented the award to her in front of her family, friends and appreciative co-workers.
Lois was hired in 1985 at the recommendation of Carolyn Kiker and Betty Neyens, and with the “Nod” of affirmation from the Abernathy family matriarch of the time, the late Lillian Abernathy. It was a wise choice as Lois has proven to be a most valuable employee. Her outstanding customer service work has a stellar reputation, and has led to dozens of valuable and close friendships with suppliers and customers alike. Thank you Lois Floyd!
