One century of Gronemeyer Maschinenfabrik In the year 1918, August Paul Gronemeyer founded his business for the manufacture of chains and elevators in Düsseldorf. His start-up capital was craftsmanship and a good piece of entrepreneurial spirit. After all production equipment had been destroyed in the Second World War, the successful reconstruction of the enterprise started in Höxter on the Weser in 1945. The two changes of generations in the company management in 1967 and 1994 are the proof of that, so that Peter Gronemeyer is now continuing the modest further development of production capacity...

Concatenation of lucky circumstances: using optimal connections During the planning phase of the production equipment, conveyor systems are often disregarded. However the following is known: A system is always as powerful as its weakest link. Therefore, modern production machines need optimum interlinking to be really effective. This applies to both high production capacities and flexibility in case of product changes. Furthermore, today products are not only transported from one machine to the next one. Besides the pure transport, special requirements are often made on conveyor systems: Vertical...

Conveying systems that meet all requirements Individual plant engineering on the basis of modular design principle Conveying systems are used for the internal material flow of packaged goods as well as for interlinking of production machines and must meet individual demands. All systems are designed in a way that their standard components can be individually combined and represent a modular design. For this purpose, for example, straight running and side-flexing slat-band chains of plastics or steel can be used in the same way as it is for modular belt chains of plastics. Even for later changes...

Everything from one source: Planning + Realization + Assembly + Service Only with conveying technology, the individual production machines can form a functioning system. Here, it realizes not only the transport of the product but also takes over tasks like distribution, aligning or buffering. In order that a production line can optimally work, wellconceived and targeted planning is the precondition. Definitely that is provided by Gronemeyer. We develop EDP-aided, conclusive concepts for you - no matter whether it is about planning of new plants or optimization of existing procedures. With this,...

Everything from one source: Planning + Realization + Assembly + Service A well attuned team of experienced designers and engineers forms the backbone at Gronemeyer. Approaches worked out in the planning phase are fast and purposefully implemented in the design and working schedules during the implementation phase. The use of most modern 3D-CAD technology always provides for the overview required for complex large-size plants. In-house production of driving elements provides the vertical range of manufacture notably required for special systems. This reduces delivery times and ensures high availability...

Everything from one source: Planning + Realization + Assembly + Service Nothing sets back a producing company more than the standstill of its plants. Then, it is no matter whether it is caused by the conversion of existing systems or the installation of new systems. Therefore, Gronemeyer's proven philosophy is to assemble the machinery completely and wire it at their own factory in Höxter in order to be able to deliver them ready for operation as far as possible. Only for transportation to the customer, the plants are disassembled to form easy-to-handle parts. Assembly teams that have already...

Everything from one source: Planning + Realization + Assembly + Service After the commissioning of the plants, we are also offering monitoring and maintenance of conveyor systems to provide for their continuous availability: Inspection of the plant with assessment of condition, re-adjustment, lubrication and preservation as well as replacement of wearing parts Reliable and prompt supply of spare parts from the well assorted stock and the in-house manufacturing facilities Failure analysis with following proposal for remedying of the fault and co-ordination of all measures taken Maintenance contract...

Pr o d uct o ve r vi e w: Interlinking of production machines makes the most diverse demands on the conveying technology. Depending on product dimensions and characteristics, production capacity, environmental conditions and degree of automation, solutions must be created that are adapted to the highest degree and, in certain cases, very individual. On the basis of a standard product range, Gronemeyer is offering customized solutions. Besides variants, also complete new designs will be come into use. Slat-band and modular belt conveyors in hygienic design completely manufactured of stainless...
