Conveyors

Common industrial systems that mechanically or pneumatically move materials such as empty or filled packages and product ready for packaging or another process from one location to another on a packaging or processing line.

Air conveyors refer to flat top conveyor systems that use compressed air to move packages or materials, similar to air hockey tables.

Also known as bucket elevators and grain legs, these conveyors lift products vertically that are separated into troughs before being discharged.

Also known as cable track conveyors, cable conveyors for package conveyance are typically used in transporting empty cans.

Parts, accessories and tools related to any type of conveyor such as plastic, metal or rubber belting, rollers, pins, hoods, take-ups, nosers and gears specific to conveyors.

Conveyors that use a fin divider (also called flights or scrapers) that separate and hold product during conveyance, often at steep vertical angles.

Adjustable or fixed guide rail systems and related components are used to protect, guide, and control containers to avoid jams, product spillage, bottle shingling and other problems during conveyance.

Infeed and discharge conveyors move containers and packages into or out of a packaging machine. Often specific timing or back-pressure considerations apply to these conveyors.

Systems that use magnets embedded beneath a belt to retain ferrous pieces during conveyance.

Modular conveyors, also known as modular belt conveyors, consist of attachable modules, often of plastic, that can be quickly linked together via joint rods and pins for quick reconfiguration on a conveying line as needed.

Conveyor systems that use compressed air to move packages or materials, similar to air hockey tables. Vacuum conveyors pull a vacuum through the conveyor belt to hold down packages or materials to the conveyor belt.

Lineshaft or roller conveyors feature cylindrical rollers that move primary cartons or secondary packaging such as cases, through a production line.

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

Conveying systems that use vibration to move light parts, pieces and powders horizontally through a production line.
