Product description

Exhibitor Profile

A "Freezer Shelves" system is a multi-functional product combining both "shelves" and "evaporator" of a refrigerator within itself. Because of this multi functional feature and also because they are made out of relatively cheaper materials like steel tube and wire, they are less expensive compared to the traditional alternatives and hence they find wider application among the manufacturers each and everyday. The only disadvantage, however, could be that the shelves in this application are fixed rather than the removable ones in the alternatives.

In the production at KONVEYOR, Ø 8x0.70 mm steel tube, Ø 1.5 mm steel wires are used and the production steps are as follows:

Cutting the lengths (for the wire and the tube), serpentine forming, resistance welding (for the wires to the serpentines) and secondary bending operations are performed by automatic machines.
The individual shelves and the heat exchanger are brought and hard brazed tpgether to form 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 shelves units.
The manufactured units are tested against leak by Helium Sniffers (1st step test).
The tested units are zinc plated to 10-12 microns in the full automatic zinc plating lines.
After the zinc plating, the 2nd step leak test is applied by Helium Chamber testing systems. The TWICE testing principle is unique at Konveyor, in order to reach "absolute zero" level leak defect at customers.
As the last operation, the Zinc plated units are coated by a protective clear lacquer coating (10-12 microns).
The finished products are packed on euro pallets and shipped to customers.
The design, i.e. number of shelves per unit, shelf dimensions, form of serpentine and wire spacing could be adjusted as per customers' requirement.

Konveyor A.S. was established in 1979 as a manufacturer of chain-forged overhead conveyor systems. In 1981, we began manufacturing aluminium-forged burner caps for gas cookers for a leading Turkish appliance manufacturer. In the 1980's the Turkish appliance industry grew significantly and the manufacturing demand, KONVEYOR transformed gradually from a supplier-subcontractor to supplier of the appliance industry. With the shift of emphasis, we mounted our last conveyor system in 1991.

In 1992 Konveyor established a 300 sqm (rented) plant in Eskisehir, for supplying the suction tube assemblies to the biggest refrigerator plant of Turkey in the same city basis.

In 1994, Konveyor exhibited in Domotechnica, and has been participating in the Domotechnica, Confotec or IKK Fairs every year to-date.

In 1996, we moved our Eskisehir Plant to its own 3000 sqm building in Eskisehir's Industrial District.

In 1997, we transferred our Istanbul plant to our own 5000 sqm factory building in Tuzla Industrial District on the Asian side of Istanbul.

Towards the end of 1998, Komveyor gained DIN ISO 9002 Certification from RWTÜV, Germany, association.

In 1999, the Eskisehir plant was enlarged to 6000 sqm and the investment for manufacturing the WOT evaporators was started. In the same year, we invested to produce fabricated copper tubes and assemblies for home air conditioner units in Tuzla (Istanbul) plant.

Towards the end of 2000, the WOT investment in Eskisehir was completed successfully. With the success achieved, and with the push of customers, the WOT capacity was doubled towards the end od the years 2001 and also 2002. In 2004 the capacity was enlarged again and the Eskisehir plant has reached to 12 000 sqm production area.

In 2005, Konveyor has started export aimed production activities in the new factory in the DESPAS free zone of Tuzla with the name Konveyor LTD. The completed part is 15000 sqm (including 1000 sqm administrative offices).The building could be expanded by another 12,000 sqm to reach to 27,000 sqm.

The NF evaporators production of Konveyor started practically in 2005 with the technology developed in a subsidiary company. With the further capacity increases during 2006, Konveyor became one of the European players in NF as well.

In 2007, in the vicinity of the existing one there, another factory building (rented) of 4000 sqm was established in Eskisehir. Hence, the total manufacturing space in Eskisehir has reached to 16 000 sqm.

Konveyor today, with six the factories in the 3 different cities of Turkey and 1,300 employees in total, has reached an annual turnover volume of EUR 80 M, and has become a worldwide engineering company supplying various parts and components for all appliance manufacturers in Turkey, and for many others spread in Europa, Asia, Africa and South and North America

Konveyor works to continuously improve the performance in deliveries and services with a consistent quality level of the products that meets and exceeds customers requirements. All of the products and services are manufactured or carried out by the Konveyor's Quality System using DIN ISO 9001-2000.
