Here at AS Conveyor Systems we regularly design intricate custom layouts where bulky more traditional automation systems just simply won’t fit. Some application designs dictate product to be moved in and around equipment and machinery. To accommodate this need, conveyors need to be flexible and make tight turns – which is ideal for flexible chain and slat conveyors. Automation applications within...

At AS Conveyor Systems, we regularly build complete system solutions for customers, but a custom conveyor doesn’t need to be complex! Recently, a customer needed a conveyor to carry boxes from a FlexMove slat conveyor down to an area where an operator will finish packaging the box. The customer had limited space in their facility due to their existing equipment and needed...

Last year, Dorner Europe started manufacturing 2200 Series Belt Conveyors at their factory in Jülich, Germany. This step enabled customers throughout Europe to take delivery of their equipment faster than ever before. Recently, Dorner Europe set-up and assembled an order for twenty-five 2200 Series iDrive Belt Conveyors, which will be used to integrate with a robot! The iDrive conveyor is ideal for integrating...

When moving products down a manufacturing line, there may be places that experience backups and cause the entire line to slow or shut down. To avoid having to stop production or redirect product, a recirculating table can create a space to accumulate product and control the flow to the next process. Recirculating tables are created with two or more slat...

Introduction to Wedge Slat Conveyors In most factories, space is at a premium, and conveyor location is often dependent on machinery and facility design. At AS Conveyor Systems, our goal is to simplify your processes rather than impede them. We have several solutions designed to give you more floor space and easy access to machinery and other areas of your...

ADVANTAGES It doesn’t matter if you’re running a fulfillment centre, warehouse, distribution centre, or manufacturing facility, the chances are that you measure both time and productivity not in days or hours, but in seconds. At AS Conveyor Systems, we know that streamlining your operations and improving their efficiency can not only save your company valuable time, but money as well...

The best solution for this application was to use a 2200 Series FlexMove conveyor with FlexMove Technology as the mainline units and a powered side guide at the transfer points. The guide uses a Dorner 2200 Series Belted conveyor with a high friction belt. The high friction belt on the 2200 Series helps to grip the bottle and prevent it from tipping while it...

Slat conveyor systems are plastic or metal-based chain belt conveyors that are generally tougher and more flexible than traditional PVC type belt conveyors. Slat conveyors allow for heavier weights and impact from dropping heavy or sharp-edged parts on the metal belt versions and a variety of attachments for more varied handling on the plastic versions. Temperature resistance is also higher...

When it comes to versatility and the ability to move small products through intricate factory layouts, the FlexMove system really does take some beating. Benefits of FlexMove Conveyors: Powered transfers allow for smooth end transfers for products as small as 3″ in diameter Unique, compact weighted take up is designed to prevent chain sag and eliminate potential pinch points for...
