  Sometimes, when moving pallets on pallet conveyor systems, there is a need to move a pallet at a 90 degree angle from the main travel direction, possibly to another machine or a pallet storage area. On heavy duty pallet conveyors where the pallets are heavy, the movement can really only be done by a version of a lift and...

 Shipped out last week, 3 X chain driven roller pallet conveyors with 3ph AC motors and low level stand systems.These conveyors were built for a pallet handling application where the roller conveyor has to transport wooden pallets that weigh 1500kg when loaded.Normally on a gravity conveyors and systems where pallets are pushed along, accumulation is simple, but for powered pallet...

Our gravity conveyor product range with aluminium side frames and low weight rollers is popular with users who have light weight applications or who need the conveyor itself to be light weight. These conveyors are not actually any cheaper than normal steel framed conveyors because they are produced in lesser volumes than the steel framed gravity conveyor units that we...

Recently, a customer needed to convey 40 lb blocks of cheese away from their cheese processing towers to the next step in the production flow. With experience with creating belt conveyors and conveying solutions for handling cheese seemed pretty straight forward. However, like any application, once you dive deeper into what needs to be accomplished certain challenges emerge. In this...

Flexmove slat band conveyors can be used in a multitude of interesting materials handling applications, but one of the more interesting ones is puck handling. A puck is used often where the product (Normally a bottle to be filled) is housed in a puck for stability and positional accuracy. The plastic slat band conveyor transports the puck with bottle on...

  A recent application from Dorner Conveyors illustrates how a standard belt conveyor can be adapted easily for a special application. In high speed packaging and production environments, it's often very desirable to make a pouch or similar package descend or ascent in a very short space. Normally, conveyors without flights can incline products at angles up to about 35°...

Bridge rollers can be very useful to carry products from the end of one slat conveyor to the start of another if the product is short or irregularly shaped.These bridge roller sets may be powered or gravity based.When bolted on to the Flexmove slat conveyor drive end plates, where holes are pre tapped, these roller sets assist the product to...

In high speed packaging and production environments, it's often very desirable to rotate a product while it's traveling on the conveyor belt and present it in the correct manner to the next operation on a production line. This can be because a labeler or marking machine needs to have the product presented in a certain direction, or maybe a robot...
