Why LaRos
How every LaRos is built
Plenty of conveyors look fine on the quote. Ours are built for the plant floor: heavy frames, big pulleys, and nothing hanging off the side to catch a sleeve or a forklift.
Ships ready to run
Fully assembled with the belt tracked, as big as fits in a dry van. You uncrate it, set it and add power. No week of assembly and belt tracking on your floor.
Welded C-channel frames
10 gauge steel channel, welded, with 3" x 2" tube cross bracing. Not T-slot aluminum extrusion. People stand on conveyors, so we build them to take it.
Bigger crowned pulleys
4-1/2" crowned pulleys at minimum, on 3/4" to 1-7/16" shafts. The bigger bend radius tracks better, carries heavier welded cleats and makes expensive belts last longer.
Heavier axles, bearings and stands
Larger axles and bearings than the light-duty lines, on sturdier stands. Usually Bodine gearmotors.
Smooth sides
Take-ups sit inside the frame, not hanging off the outside. No exposed spinning axles at the side of the conveyor.
Built to last decades
We regularly supply parts for LaRos machines 30 years old and more, from job and serial records going back to 1976.
Industries
Built for molders. Built heavy enough for everyone else.
LaRos grew up on the injection molding floor. The same welded frames and big pulleys carry stampings, castings, machined parts and shredded material. Send us your part and we will tell you straight if we are a fit.
Plastics / Injection Molding
Under press, robot unload, grinder feed, separators, cooling and reject control. Our home turf since 1968.
Metal Stamping
Heavy parts off the press and into the bin, on welded steel frames.
Die Casting
Hot castings out of the cell, with quench and cooling options.
Machining
Parts out of the machine and away from the operator, with oil-resistant belting.
Recycling
Shredder and grinder feed and unload, with hoppers and metal detection.
