Frequently Asked Questions

Every conveyor project starts with questions about the products, environment, and processes involved in each application. Our aim is to find the correct solution for your material handling needs, ensuring our customers are well-informed and able to make the right decision when choosing their final conveyor solution.

What is a Conveyor?

A conveyor is a popular piece of machinery designed to transport commercial products from one place to another, reducing the need for manual handling in everyday processes. Conveyors are commonly found in industries such as warehousing, airports, manufacturing, food processing, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agriculture, and industrial and packing sectors.

What Are Some of the Advantages of Conveyors?

• Reduced Manual Handling: Minimises operator strain and fatigue.
• Increased Productivity: Utilised as a tool to enhance productivity.
• Safety: Provides a safe alternative to forklifts, pallet trucks, overhead cranes, and other industrial handling equipment.
• Smooth Production Flow: Connects complex areas of an industrial setting, allowing greater organisation of workpieces.
• End-of-Line Storage and Accumulation: Efficiently manages partially or fully completed products/workpieces.

What Kind of Conveyor Do I Need?

The type of conveyor required depends on several factors, including product type, dimensions, weights, location, and budget. By discussing these factors with our customers, we can provide the best recommendation based on the facts. It's important to us that the final solution is a practical step forward in achieving the typical advantages that conveyors offer.

Do You Provide Installation?

Not all conveyors require installation. Some of our most effective systems can be simple scenarios, such as gravity roller conveyors. In these instances, we supply conveyors in flat-packed kits with fixings for customer installation.

Many of our belt conveyors can also be sent in similar kit forms. For example, conveyors used for end-of-line processes can be despatched fully built with electrical controls pre-fitted.

For integrated systems where groups of conveyors work together, we can advise on the installation process. We are able to organise our own contractors for mechanical installation and can arrange transport, hire machinery, and specialist contractors for specific tasks such as electrical automation and integration of warehouse management systems.

How Do I Maintain My Conveyor System?

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your conveyor system. We recommend periodic inspections to check for wear and tear, lubrication of moving parts, and timely replacement of any damaged components. Our team can provide detailed maintenance schedules and training for your staff.

Can Conveyors Be Customised?

Yes, we offer customised conveyor solutions tailored to your specific needs. Whether you require a particular size, material, or special features, our team will work with you to design and build a conveyor system that meets your exact requirements.
