Conveyor Systems Integrator

Selecting the right conveyor system is crucial for maximizing efficiency, reducing downtime, and ensuring safe material handling. Our proven process provides a structured approach to help businesses determine the best conveyor solution for their unique operational needs and ensure deliverables and expectations are met. It's about simply doing it right and how we've built so many valuable partnerships over the last 60 years.

Understanding the type of material being transported ensures proper conveyor selection:

✅ Types of Items Handled:

• Cartons, Pallets, Drums, Wood Boxes, Tote Pans, Crates, Baskets
• Envelopes, Rolls of Paper/Fabric, Bags, Bundles, and more
• Does mix change (now/future)

✅ Size & Weight of Products:

• Input length, width, height, and weight specifications
• If pallets, what styles (double-face reversible, 4-way block, 4-way notched stringer, etc.)
• Total live load capacity requirements

✅ Volume & Usage:

• Expected frequency of items

✅ Shock Loading Considerations:

• Determine whether the conveyor will be subject to heavy impact loads

✅ Operational Hours:

• Define hours per day and days per week the conveyor will run

✅ Integrated Equipment:

• Determine if the system will need integration with new or existing packaging, sorting, manufacturing, or material handling equipment (current or future state)

✅ Start, Stop, Reverse Under Load:

• Identify if the conveyor will need to stop and start under full load conditions
• Determine if the conveyor needs to operate in both directions
• Identify the number of reversals per minute

✅ Controls & Speed Requirements:

• Learn about any additional controls or advanced logic required in process
• Required conveyor speed (feet per minute)
• Considerations for ergonomic needs

✅ Compliance Requirements:

• Are any food-grade or other requirements necessary, such as NSF or USDA

Ensure the conveyor system performs optimally in your work environment and with the greatest life expectancy:

✅ Operating Conditions:

• Explore available space and desired path/flow and business practices that surround it (we typically perform a site visit early on to measure and best understand the space and goals)
• Review for incline, decline, or flat setups
• Discuss exposure to abrasive dust, moisture, humidity, or corrosive substances
• Required operating temperature range
• Presence of oil or other contaminants

✅ Specialty Motors & Drives:

• Explosion-proof motors (Class, Group, and Division specifications)
• Energy-efficient and easy-clean motor options

Ensuring alignment of budget goals and operational deadlines to ensure they can be achieved

We take all of the inputs provided from our application analysis (above) and create an initial design that will be discussed with the you for feedback, input, and sign-off.

• Considered for automation add-ons discussed
• Designed for integration with applicable existing material handling equipment
• Discuss permitting with customer to ensure no unexpected delays or issues

Once initial design is approved by customer, we proceed into detailed equipment specification and 3D modeling/detailed drawings depending on complexity of your project – ensuring optimized workflow efficiency, automation compatibility, and safety compliance for your exact space and equipment.

• Conveyor types, construction, sizes, and accessories
• Roller and/or belt specifications
• Motor specifications: voltage, phase, frequency, special drive types (if applicable)
• Controls and electrical design (if applicable)
• Equipment paint color

Meetings with customers take place to make any necessary adjustments; once final design is approved through sign-off, a detailed quote is presented

• Quote can include all aspects of system through commissioning and even maintenance and spare parts
• We handle all installation and even material handling add-ons that create greater efficiencies for you

After a purchase order and downpayment (if applicable) is received, our team assigns a project manager and plans out production with our manufacturing teams:

• Leading manufacturing processes ensure precision quality and durability
• Timelines are monitored and weekly updates are provided to ensure all teams are on the same page regarding shipping, receiving, and install (if applicable)
• All equipment is highly documented and labeled with serial numbers for easy tracking and identification (making future spare or replacement parts very easy)
• Prior to shipment, quality assurance and testing take place to ensure equipment meets rigorous standards

Arranged delivery times and methods are executed:

• Pre-shipment quality check and review
• Photographed record of all equipment shipment
• Project manager or technical sales may be on site to review equipment on arrival
• Customer review and sign-off

Our teams work closely with you to ensure limited disruptions to your operations (if in existing or trafficked space) and perform safe, clean, and professional installation of equipment to the approval drawings.

• We ensure timelines are hit
• We ensure all equipment is properly working as expected and to our detailed performance specifications
• Employee training can be conducted to ensure your team understands the equipment, controls, and maintenance plans for safe and lasting operation of your investment

We have been operations-partners for many organizations for over 60 years and know post-installation support is critical. We value long-term relationships and here to support you with any of the following:

• Additional training for your employees and maintenance teams
• Perform evaluation and initial adjustments to optimize your systems
• Make recommendations to unlock new efficiencies as your process evolves
• Present and maintenance program and recommended spare part list to ensure uptime
• Assist in future expansions, modifications, or automation upgrades
