Final project of mechanical technicians
Developing, designing and manufacturing a semi-automated assembly device
for the manufacturing of belts
As part of their further training, a group of mechanical technicians from the Pictorius Berufskolleg in Coesfeld
successfully completed their final project at JÖST GmbH + Co. KG.
„We want to say thank you for being given the chance to complete our project here. During a time like this, that is not a matter of course.“
The project team including our employee Julian Muddemann designed a semi-automated assembly device for the manufacturing of hinged belts. The mechanical technicians were responsible for the concept and design as well as the manufacturing of the system. The partial automation is based on a polygon conveyor by the company Dr. Ing. Goessling GmbH, which is part of the JOEST group.
The semi-automation stands out due to its simple operation: The machine is operated from a single position at the control panel. The system now performs all of the steps that used to be done by hand. This increases the productivity of the manufacturing process by up to 350%.
JOEST congratulates the participants of this remarkably successful project in the name of the entire #JOESTeam
and says thank you for the personal effort and performance.

In conventional exciters, the bearings are lubricated by oil mist. The gears inside the housing churn the oil into fine droplets, which are distributed within the gearbox. Only a portion of these droplets reaches the rolling bearings and provide the lubrication. Some housings have oil collection pockets on the inside. These are intended to guide the oil along the inner surfaces of the housing downwards into the bearings. However, the entry of oil into the bearings is random and the quantity is undetermined. To improve the entire lubrication, the JOEST Oil Management System has been developed.
2024 was a special year in many ways for our continuously growing JOEST group. To start, we completed the largest acquisition in our company‘s history at the turn of the year with the purchase of the MOGENSEN Group and its locations in Germany, Spain and Sweden.
