Tabletop Conveyors

Any flat conveyor system in a variety of formats and sizes that runs products horizontally, usually on a belt or belted system.

Category Explained

Tabletop Conveyors are flat, horizontal conveying systems designed to move products steadily and efficiently across packaging or processing lines. These conveyors typically consist of a chain or belt made of interlocking plastic or stainless steel segments that create a continuous, low-friction surface. Available in various widths and configurations, tabletop conveyors are widely used for transporting a range of product types—from bottles and jars to cartons and cans—across straight paths, curves, or elevation changes using modular accessories.

Designed for smooth, controlled product handling, tabletop conveyors are especially suited for applications where consistent speed, precise alignment, and low maintenance are important. Key features often include:

  • Durable, interlocking belt construction for stable product movement
  • Customizable layouts with straight, curved, or inclined sections
  • Guide rails to maintain product orientation and prevent tipping
  • Sanitary or washdown options for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical use
  • Modular design for easy integration, extension, or reconfiguration

Typical products and applications include:

  • Plastic bottles and glass jars: Transported between filling, capping, and labeling stations in beverage and condiment lines
  • Metal cans: Moved through rinsing, filling, and sealing processes in food and pet food packaging
  • Cartons and paperboard boxes: Carried through checkweighing, coding, and case packing stations
  • Cosmetic containers: Delivered to filling and inspection units with gentle, precise alignment
  • Pharmaceutical vials or blister packs: Conveyed through cleanroom environments with washdown-compatible construction

Tabletop conveyors support high-speed transport and seamless transitions between machines such as fillers, cappers, labelers, or case packers. Their flexible design and reliable operation make them a fundamental element in virtually any packaging environment.
