Transportation Conveyors
Swiftly Move Goods with Precision and Reliability
Transportation Conveyors - High-Throughput, Low Risk, Big Deliverable
“Transportation conveyors” sounds a little redundant, but these automated systems deliver big on their name as a one-of-a-kind tool! These powered conveyors are commonly used to transport bulk materials but can also be tailored to smaller packages, boxes, and containers. Transportation conveyors are durable and built to withstand heavy use and harsh environments, with rugged construction and heavy-duty components. Customize your transportation conveyor to provide a high-speed, high-throughput solution where you have a range of item sizes and weights.
Your transportation conveyor uses a minimal footprint to get the job done, and it can be fully integrated with other systems to maximize safety and productivity.
Transportation Conveyor Types
- Belt
- Live Roller
- Motor Roller Driven
- Line Shaft
Contact Apex Automation and speak to our systems experts to design an automated conveyor system to support your throughput and budgetary goals. We take a vendor-agnostic approach to building your automation solution to ensure that the final solution is tailored to your unique inventory specs and processing goals.
Choosing the Best Transporation Conveyor for Your Application
Your transportation conveyor will be customized to meet the specific needs of your particular application, with features such as variable speed controls, angled sections, and curved paths.
Transportation Conveyor Designs
- Belt: A belt conveyor uses a continuous belt to transport materials from one location to another. The belt is typically made of durable material, such as rubber, PVC, or nylon, and it is powered by a motorized pulley or drum.
- Ideal for odd-shaped, small cartons (less than 9” length), soft goods, apparel, and trash lines.
- Typically positioned as a decline, incline, or overhead transport where the belt provides secure product control.
- Live Roller: Consists of a series of rollers that are powered by a motor, which turns a continuous belt, chain, or V-band attached to the rollers.
- Best used for handling heavy or bulky loads and items that vary by width, length, and weight.
- Suited for applications where items need to be accumulated, queued, or stopped and released at specific points along the conveyor path.
- Motor Roller Driven: Adjustable speed conveyor that accommodates different types of items to optimize throughput. Conveyors can stop and start at specific points along the path, allowing for precise positioning of products or materials.
- Great for lighter-duty applications using low-voltage power to save on electrical draw using a motorized roller and o-ring bands to slave drive adjacent rollers.
- Common applications include assembly lines, goods transportation between plant areas, and loading/unloading trucks.
- Line-Shaft: These energy-efficient conveyors have a relatively simple design and use a minimum number of components.
- Suitable for boxes, cartons, and totes requiring long-distance transport or up inclines.
- Configurable with a variety of roller and belt types to accommodate different materials and products.
- Easy to maintain and repair, with minimal downtime.
