Lumsden Belting Expands Facilities, Increasing Production Capacity and Efficiency to Speed Delivery
Processors and manufacturers using conveyor belting will have faster access to robust product
Due to increased market demand, Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based Lumsden Belting, a manufacturer of industrial conveyor belting for a wide variety of applications including food processing, heat treating, glass treating, printing, and canning, as well as aggregates, asphalt and mining, has added a new 23,000 sq. ft. facility to its headquarters complex. This has expanded production capacity and efficiency to speed delivery, as operations continue six days a week, 24 hours a day.
Lumsden's fastest growing division, Wiremation Conveyor Belting, which manufacturers spiral woven conveyor belting, is moving into the new facility. This frees up space for its Flexx Flow division, which manufactures metal belts by forming wire into interlocking strands. Hoyt Wire Cloth, a manufacturer of aggregate screen media that operates under Lumsden but independently, will also expand production with the additional space.
According to Glenn Farrell, Lumsden Belting's President, the added space, machinery, and capacity provided by the new facility will also spur the introduction of new conveyor belting products and options. These are currently being developed to further increase production reliability and longevity, while minimizing downtime for processors and manufacturers in various industries.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
