A conveyor stopped for want of a single roller costs the same per hour as one stopped by a major failure. LVP Automation supplies spare parts and accessories for conveyor and automation equipment: parts for the systems and brands we supply, and sourcing for the ones we do not.
Tell us what the machine is and what has failed, and we will work out the part. Much of what wears out on a conveyor is a standard component behind a manufacturer’s label, and knowing which one is often the difference between a part on its way today and a week spent chasing a number that no longer exists. We are based in Finglas, Dublin 11 and supply customers across Ireland.
If you know roughly what you need, the product range is the quicker route, and motors, roller conveyors and plastic belt conveyors each have their own section. If what you have is a broken component and no idea what it is called, send us a photograph instead. Identifying parts from what is in front of you is most of this job.
The machine make and model if you have it, the nameplate from the motor or gearbox, a photograph of the part in place as well as out of it, and a rough measurement. For belting, the width and the existing joint type. For rollers, the diameter, the face length and how the ends are fixed. None of this is essential, but each one shortens the search.
Equipment outlives the catalogue it came from. When a part number no longer exists, the question becomes what the part had to do rather than what it was called: the load it carried, the speed it ran at, the dimensions it had to fit between. Most conveyor components are standard items behind a badge, and an equivalent can usually be found. Occasionally the honest answer is that the section is better replaced than kept alive, and we will say so.
If a part has failed and you are not certain why, the underlying fault is worth finding before fitting a replacement that will fail the same way. See electrical fault finding for electrical causes, or on-site repair and maintenance to have parts fitted and wear items caught before they stop the line. Belt replacement and repair is covered under conveyor belting, and where a motor keeps failing, motor sizing and selection is often the real question.
Do you supply parts for equipment you did not install? Yes. A good share of what we source is for machinery from other suppliers.
We do not know what the part is called. Can you still help? Yes, and this is the usual starting point. A photograph of the part in position, plus anything legible on a nameplate, is normally enough.
The manufacturer says the part is discontinued. Is that the end of it? Usually not. What matters is the specification the part had to meet, not the number printed on it. An equivalent can normally be matched.
Which spares should we keep on site? It depends on what fails on your line and how long a replacement takes to get. Items that are cheap, wear predictably and stop the whole line when they go are the ones worth holding. We are happy to go through it with you.
Can you fit the parts as well as supply them? Yes, either as a callout or as part of a maintenance visit.
Where do you cover? We are based in Finglas, Dublin 11 and supply customers across Ireland.
