Conveyance Systems
What Are Conveyance Systems for Material Handling Operations?
Conveyance systems are the critical systems in any material handling operation that help to move products and materials from one place to the next. They allow products to move efficiently and quickly throughout a facility, reducing the need for manual labor and improving overall efficiency.
Without conveyance systems, material handling operations tend to become burdened by numerous manual movements, bottlenecks, errors, and inefficiency.
Common Conveyance Components – Accumulation and Belt Systems
Accumulation Systems
As the name would imply, accumulation conveyors are used to accumulate products being transported through a material handling system. These systems often are used to transition the material handling of goods from one stage of the system into the next. Accumulation systems allow the flow of goods to continue through a system while also allowing items to be collected before advancing to the next stage.
Accumulation systems can help you reduce the risk of product damage by reducing the amount of handling required, and also improve overall throughput.
Belt Systems
Belt systems are another common type of conveyance solution. These systems use a series of belts to move products from one location to another. Belt systems can be highly customized to meet your specific needs, with a variety of belt types, widths, and speeds available. Belt systems are ideal for transporting products of various shapes and sizes, from small parts to large boxes and pallets.
