Conveyors

Belt conveyor systems provide a highly efficient method of transporting materials or products from one location to another. They can be designed to fit various layouts and spaces within a facility to move large volumes and different sizes, weights, and types of goods continuously. 

Belt conveyors require minimal maintenance, have low energy consumption, and offer high reliability and durability. They can be installed horizontally, inclined, or even vertically to accommodate elevation changes. This flexibility allows for efficient utilization of available floor space and customization based on specific production requirements.

Belt conveyors are widely used in applications for, mining, logistics, agriculture, paper, manufacturing, and other heavy industries.  

Belt conveyors seamlessly integrate with automation systems, enabling the smooth transfer of materials between different stages of production. They can be easily integrated with sensors, sorters, robotic arms, and other equipment, allowing for efficient and automated material handling processes.

Power roller conveyors use rollers to move materials or products along a designated path. Unlike traditional belt conveyors, where a continuous belt is used for transportation, power roller conveyors employ individual rollers with built-in motors or a centralized drive system.

One of the key advantages of a power roller conveyor is its ability to provide precise and controlled movement of materials. Each roller can be independently driven, allowing for efficient accumulation, merging, diverting, and sorting of items. By activating or deactivating specific rollers, products can be directed to different paths or temporarily stopped, enhancing flexibility and automation capabilities.

Power roller conveyors are commonly used in various industries, including distribution centers, e-commerce fulfillment centers, manufacturing facilities, and airports. They are particularly useful for handling medium to heavy loads, such as cartons, totes, pallets, and other similar items.

To enhance functionality, power roller conveyors can be equipped with various accessories and add-ons that may include diverts, merges, transfers, curves, lifts, brakes, accumulation zones, sensors, barcode readers, and more. They can also be integrated with other systems or equipment in the production line, such as packaging machines, data collection, and labeling systems, weigh scales, or robotic arms, to create a seamless workflow.

Unlike powered conveyors that rely on motors or external power sources, gravity conveyors are constructed with a slight downward slope or an incline that relies on the force of gravity to move items or materials along a downward or inclined path. 

The benefits of gravity conveyors include simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and low maintenance requirements. By eliminating motors, power sources, and complex control systems, gravity conveyors reduce energy consumption and operational costs. They are also easy to install, reconfigure, and expand, allowing for flexibility in changing production layouts or processes.

Gravity conveyors are commonly used for light to medium-weight loads and are ideal for applications where the items being transported have a sufficient weight and smooth bottom surface. They are frequently used in industries such as warehousing, distribution, packaging, and assembly. 

Gravity conveyor systems can be customized through integration with other conveyor systems or material handling equipment.

Lift conveyor systems are designed to transport materials or products vertically between different levels or floors within a facility. Unlike horizontal conveyors that move items along a flat surface, lift conveyors are capable of moving goods in an upward or downward direction. 

The benefits of lift conveyors include maximizing space utilization, streamlining material flow, and reducing manual labor. By utilizing vertical space, lift conveyors help optimize floor space and enable efficient movement of items between levels, eliminating the need for stairs, elevators, or forklifts.

Lift conveyors are commonly used in situations where there is a need to move items between different levels, such as mezzanines, floors, or multi-story buildings. They are particularly useful in industries such as warehousing, distribution, logistics, and manufacturing, where efficient vertical movement of goods is required.

Lift conveyors can incorporate additional features such as gates, sensors, and safety devices to ensure smooth and secure transportation and can be customized to meet specific requirements and space constraints. They can be integrated with other conveyor systems or material handling equipment to create a comprehensive and efficient flow of goods throughout the facility.

Turntable conveyor systems are designed to facilitate the smooth rotation of items or products in a circular motion. It consists of a circular platform or turntable that rotates around a central axis, allowing for the controlled transfer or reorientation of goods.

One of the advantages of a turntable conveyor is its ability to maintain the relative position of items while rotating them. This ensures the items remain aligned and undisturbed during the rotation, reducing the risk of damage or misalignment in the handling of delicate or sensitive products.

Turntable conveyors are commonly used in various industries and applications where there is a need to change the direction or orientation of items during the conveying process. They can be used for sorting, inspection, accumulation, packaging, or any other operation that requires items to be rotated or repositioned.

Turntable conveyors can be integrated into larger conveyor systems or used as standalone units. They can be designed with various diameter sizes, rotation speeds, and load capacities to accommodate different requirements. Additionally, they can be equipped with additional features such as guides, diverts, sensors, and controls to enhance functionality and automation.

A shuttle conveyor, also known as a movable conveyor or transfer conveyor, enables the lateral movement of items or products along a predetermined path. It consists of a conveyor belt or chain that is supported by a framework and equipped with a shuttle mechanism.

Shuttle conveyors can be customized to accommodate various sizes, weights, and types of items. They can be designed with multiple shuttle mechanisms for simultaneous transfers or with adjustable positions to accommodate different processing requirements.

Shuttle conveyors are commonly used in applications where there is a need to divert or transfer items to multiple locations or different processing stations. They are particularly useful in distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities where efficient sorting, merging, or accumulation of items is required.

Shuttle conveyors can be integrated with other conveyor systems or material handling equipment to create comprehensive and efficient material flow solutions. They can also be automated and synchronized with other machinery or control systems to enhance productivity and streamline operations.
