CONVEYOR SYSTEMS - MATERIAL HANDLING

WHAT IS A CONVEYOR SYSTEM?

Conveyor systems are assemblies or mechanical components that are designed to transport product and material through a process without error and with minimal effort. These systems are often powered by a motor, gravity, or even manually, and consist of a frame containing either rollers, wheels, or a belt that allows materials to move from one place to another.

These systems vary in order to accommodate unique products or materials offered by a wide range of businesses that need to be transported.

BENEFITS OF CONVEYOR SYSTEMS

Conveyor systems are most commonly found in the manufacturing industry because of the large product loads these businesses produce and need to move or transport daily.

Even though the benefits of a conveyor system are going to differ from business to business, some of the more general benefits of these systems include the following:

Conveyors can move easily in multiple directions and from one elevation to another, which allows products and material to be moved effortlessly to different parts of the facility.
Conveyors can eliminate manual tasks in the manufacturing process that can help a business save time and money on labor and materials, while also reducing error and improving efficiency.
Conveyors provide endless opportunities to continually load and unload items over a long period of time throughout the manufacturing process.
Conveyors decrease the likelihood of something breaking or being mishandled by allowing careful control of the speed at which materials move through the process.

One primary advantage of a conveyor system is that they can be effectively used to automate as well as in the transportation of materials that are being completed manually. These manual tasks include aspects of the process such as feeding, moving, loading and unloading of materials.

TYPES OF CONVEYOR SYSTEMS

Since companies differ in their production process as well as their product line, there is no universally used type of conveyor system. Each conveyor that is designed and built by Integrated Packaging Machinery is unique to our client’s business and their operations. Below is a general list of the types of product and case conveyor systems available.
