Material Handling Conveyors

Items are transported on rollers with positive drive. It is commonly used in material handling applications for efficiently transporting items of various sizes and weights, offering smooth, continuous movement. Roller conveyors are durable and easy to maintain, making them a common choice for manufacturing lines and distribution facilities.

Items are transported on rollers that are designed to move products with limited contact and pressure between items, preventing product damage and allowing for controlled accumulation. It is ideal for applications where precise spacing and gentle handling of products are essential.

Items are transported without contacting or exerting pressure on each other, allowing for the independent movement of products while preventing product damage and ensuring smooth flow. This system is ideal for applications where product spacing and controlled handling are critical, such as in packaging and assembly lines. A zero-pressure accumulation conveyor is also useful in order fulfillment, where cartons or totes must queue without being crushed or pushed.

Belt conveyor systems are one of the most versatile types, used across industries to handle everything from small packages to bulk materials. Items are transported on a continuous looped belt, often made of fabric, urethane, rubber, or other materials, to move materials or products from one point to another. It is commonly used in industries for the efficient movement of bulk items, packages, or assemblies over various distances.

Items are transported on a roller conveyor where each zone of rollers is individually driven by a 24-volt motorized drive roller (MDR), allowing for precise control over the movement of products. Because each zone is controlled independently, products can stop, accumulate, or move forward without affecting other zones, giving you more control. This system is ideal for applications requiring zone-based control, energy efficiency, and flexible layout designs. It also lowers noise compared to traditional conveyor motors, making it better for facilities where employees work close to the line.

Plastic chain belt conveyors are well-suited for environments where sanitation, curves, or flexibility are required. Items are transported on a continuous looped belt made of plastic links, to move materials or products from one point to another. It may be used in more specialized scenarios, such as food-grade applications, wet/oily parts, or when other special factors may apply. Because the chain links are modular, this conveyor can be adapted easily to curved layouts or irregular spaces.

Items are transported by rollers which uses a chain to drive rollers. This type of conveyor is ideal for handling heavy or uneven loads and is commonly used in industrial applications where products need to be transported with consistent speed and control.

A conveyor sorter is a system that automatically diverts items from a main conveyor to various destinations based on pre-set criteria, such as size, shape, or barcode information. It is commonly used in sorting and distribution centers to efficiently route products to different locations for further processing or shipping.

High-speed merge involves combining product flow from multiple infeed lines into a single, organized stream. This entails aligning products into a continuous product flow, which keeps the operations efficient and synchronized. keeping your operations efficient and synchronized.

While some of the more common material handling conveyor options have been mentioned, standard products don’t always solve the problem, and Solutions in Action has continuously provided custom designs with cutting-edge technology. Whether you need to move small objects, pallets or even something bigger, Solutions in Action can provide everything for your conveyance needs. Our engineers design automated conveyor systems that combine standard equipment with custom layouts, giving you a system built for your facility instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
