Belt Conveyor Systems

Conveyor systems form the core of the distribution center. Cartons travel from multiple conveyors and are then merged in the next level of packaging. Conveyors carry cartons to meter belts, which place the packages equidistantly. They are weighed, labeled, and the UPC codes are compared for accuracy. The cartons then travel into appropriate locations for palletization and shipping.

The gravity roller is a non-powered system that can be built for temporary or permanent uses. They are good for moving uneven or open packages.

The low profile conveyor system is versatile and used for packaging, sorting, small parts transfer, and streamlining.

The skatewheel conveyor is a workhorse. It is a heavy- duty conveyor used for shipping, and assembly. It is best for smooth flat bottom items and is used for dip configuration, lid extractors, and customer pushing.

Shoe sortation sorts at 75 to 200 cartons per minute. It is useful for moving a variety of products and packages that are varying sizes and shapes. It is exceptionally good for delicate items, because it moves smoothly.
