Gravity Conveyors
Gravity conveyors offer a cost-effective option for product movement in a warehouse. They rely on strategically placed elevation decreases along the conveyor line to achieve momentum and do not require the use of a power source. These conveyors can also be used on flat surfaces where some manual operations take place.
BEST FOR:
- Applications that do not require a fully automated solution
- Semi-manned operations
- Mid-Low cost
Basic Gravity Conveyors
As the most economic option, gravity conveyors rely on strategically placed elevation declines along the conveyor line to achieve product movement. These conveyors can also be used on flat surfaces where some manual operations take place.
USE:
- Multi-story product movement
- Final stages of shipping down-lane
Expandable Conveyors
With motorized and non-motorized options available, expandable conveyor solutions are a budget friendly approach to single-level conveyance solutions. Expandable conveyors are versatile and allow for flexible rearrangement if needed.
USE:
- Single-story product movement
- Applications require high adaptability
- Single-story product movement
Spiral Gravity Conveyors
Spiral conveyors are a cost-effective option for multi-level product movement that requires significant space optimization. Similar to basic gravity conveyor systems, spiral conveyors rely on gravity to move product from high to low.
USE:
- Multi-story product movement where space is limited
- Product is not oversized
Basic Powered Conveyors
Powered Conveyors offer precisely controlled product flow that can be programed to adjust speeds by zone automatically to suit a specific operation. This conveyance solution is more budget friendly than its customized counterpart, but still requires DC power to function.
BEST FOR:
- Applications require a semi-automated solution
- Operations requiring accuracy & efficiency
Custom Built Powered Conveyors
A custom built power conveyor system provides the most flexible and need-specific conveyance solution. These systems can be tailored to include gravity-fed conveyor solutions and prioritize optimal product flow and efficiency. Custom power conveyors also provide the ability for programmable product sortation for a fully automated warehouse environment.
BEST FOR:
- Applications require a semi to fully automated solution
- Operations requiring accuracy, efficiency & fully adjustable customization
