The Lone Star Ammunition Plant needed a robust system to manage material waste and by-products safely. Serpentix conveyors were installed to transport diverse waste materials across plant facilities with minimal spillage. This solution improved safety, reduced manual waste handling, and ensured compliance with operational and environmental standards.
Convoluted belt design prevents domino ignition along 24" belt width
Modular pathing (including helical turns) eliminated need for 13 conventional conveyors
Delivered steep inclines, horizontal curves, and integrated safety controls without intermediate transfer points
Chosen after extensive U.S. Army testing and validation by plant operators
Explosive safety enhanced through anti-propagation belt technology
Reduced energy usage and maintenance footprint
Supported high-volume production ramp-up aligned with defense needs
Cemented Serpentix as the go-to solution for hazardous material transport in military applications
