Gravity Conveyors

Whether it acts as a work surface for picking up or packing products, or it is used for transportation purposes, a gravity conveyor is an essential component in many of today’s conveyor applications.  A gravity conveyor is a non-powered conveyor used to transport a wide range of products of varying size and weight. The virtually maintenance-free device is available as either a gravity roller or skate wheel conveyor, offering variety and customization for the user.

Accumulation Conveyor

An accumulation conveyor is a powered conveyor that allows cartons to accumulate. This accumulation means that the product being conveyed travels down the line with uniformed spacing. This spacing helps to ensure that products are safely transported and ready for further sorting, packaging, and palletizing.

Sortation Systems

Sortation systems identify products on an in-feed line and divert them to the desired sort lane. Products can be diverted to a variety of locations, including shipping lanes, packing stations, and palletizing operations.

Transportation Conveyor

The transportation conveyor is a powered conveyor that carries products from one place to another. During this simple process, there is no accumulation function, so the product orientation does not change. Options for transportation conveyor include the live roller conveyor, belt conveyor, and line shaft conveyor.
