Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems are generally designed to move large amounts of materials along at a quicker pace and at a fraction of the cost of manual labor. The most well-known type of conveyor system is the conveyor belt. Conveyors are basically commercially used, motorized contraptions that are used to transport material from point A to point B. Most conveyor systems are used in industrial, food processing and agricultural settings to move products such as ore from mines, grain in a feed mill, packages in a warehouse, and items in an assembly line, etc. However, they are also used in various other walks of life.
Conveyors are useful in sorting warehouses such as post offices and courier hubs. They are often used in the loading and unloading of trucks and freighters. Some conveyor systems are also used in such places as supermarkets when the cashier pushes a button to move your groceries closer to the cash register.
Conveyor systems can also transport human beings along and these types of conveyors such as moving sidewalks and escalators are often found in large airports around the world. Of course your luggage is usually also checked in and out at an airport via a conveyor system and most ski hills have one or more conveyors to take people to the top of the ski hills. Magnetic conveyors are used in machine tools to drain the oil and move only the burr.
While most conveyor systems are motorized, there are some types that are still propelled by manual labor. These often consist of workers pulling a rope to move the pulleys which in turn move the belt. You can also use a non motorized conveyor system if it is built on a slope or facing downhill. There are also conveyor systems in which you can push items along them, however, some people may argue that these are technically rollers and not conveyor systems. Most motorized conveyors can be stopped anywhere along the line and can also be reversed. You can usually control the speed on most motorized conveyors as well. To retain the components being conveyed, restraining flaps, slats, etc. are used.
A basic motorized conveyor system usually consists of a belt that continuously moves over top of rotating drums or two end pulleys or a system that is pulled by motors. In a pulley system, the motor is used to turn the pulleys, which moves the belt and the materials on the belt. Most conveyor systems have to be strong and powerful as they are often used to move tremendous amounts of weight. The whole conveyor system therefore needs adequate support and usually a metal stand.
There are various types of types of conveyors systems such as:
- Bucket type, where the material is filled in buckets attached to a conveyor.
- Cart track type, where carts or pallets are pulled by the conveyor.
- Chain type, which is the most common and is used to move components in assembly lines, packaging lines, etc.

Automated Conveyor Systems, Inc. Product Model: 190MRA - Motorized Roller Accumulator Conveyor
Automated Conveyor Systems, Inc. - Product Model: 190MRA Medium Duty Roller Bed Motorized Roller Conveyor. This conveyor features powered zero pressure accumulation, on demand drive rollers (activated by presence of product), low maintenance, very quiet (ABEC-1 precision bearings), energy efficient (24 Volt DC), is modular & flexible (can be re-configured), and is very safe. It has a low profile design, which creates built-in product guard rails. This conveyor is constructed of 12 gauge powder painted (baked on finish) formed HRS steel. The rollers are constructed of 1.9" diameter x 16 gauge galvanized steel tubing with 7/16" hex axles and ABEC-1 precision bearings. The zone accumulation is actuated by photo eye sensors, and is zero pressure (meaning no driving force on rollers while product is stopped during accumulation). All of the drives for this conveyor are built into the drive rollers, which means there is no need for chain or belt guards, and makes this conveyor low maintenance. The drive roller motors are 24VDC, brushless type motors (for long life and high output). These "motor rollers" have the capability to provide accumulation, dynamic braking, slug unload, are fully reversible, and they can be run at variable speeds as standard. The motor rollers are engaged only when necessary providing "on demand" power. Because of this on-demand power, this conveyor is very energy efficient. This equates to reduced operating costs, and less impact on the environment (less ... -
Automated Conveyor Systems, Inc. Product Model: HSS - High Speed Sorter
Automated Conveyor Systems, Inc. - Product Model: HSS Medium Duty Slider Bed High Speed Sortation Conveyor. This conveyor features a high speed sortation system using "wheel diverters" that can sort packages to the left or right of the conveyor at high speeds up to 300 FPM (feet per minute). There is virtually no limit to the length of this sorter. Units up to 500 feet with as many as 30 diverts have been successfully built and installed. This unit can be designed to sort either "left" or "right" per divert module. Package weights can range from 3 pounds up to a maximum of 100 pounds. Package weight distribution (center of gravity) is more critical to a successful divert than the total weight of the conveyed product. The diverter is modular in design and can be installed at desired intervals as close as 3 feet centers minimum, up to any desired spacing. It utilizes a 3" long driven urethane coated roller, that on demand, rises 1/4" to 3/8" and skews 30 degrees to divert the package. When in the down position, these rollers act as a bridge to stabilize small packages. Required air pressure is 40 PSI minimum, to 60 PSI maximum. The HSS also features machine crowned pulleys, and all rollers have precision bearings. This unit provides a "gentle sort" based on the dynamics of the design. It also features an optional spur unit for each diverter zone for packages to merge onto when diverted. Conveyor frames, braces, and attachment brackets are powder coat painted with a "baked ... -
