Common questions
Gravity or powered?
Gravity runs on a slight slope with no power, for docks and packing. Powered runs level or uphill at a set speed, for lines that merge, sort or feed a machine.
What width and roller spacing do I need?
Width comes from your widest carton, how it sits on the line and the frame style. We size it from the maker's table. Keep three rollers under the shortest carton.
How steep can a gravity line be?
About half an inch of drop per foot, a little more for light cartons. Past about 30 feet cartons speed up, so add a brake roller or a flat section.
Can conveyors cross an aisle?
Yes: a lift gate for people, a bridge for forklifts, or a guarded floor-level section.
What about used conveyor?
Gravity, skate-wheel, legs, curves and flex come through our yard often, sold by the section. Powered is usually new, because drives and controls must match the line.
