Practical answers about choosing, specifying, ordering and maintaining belt conveyors and roller conveyors.
If your question is not covered here, send it to our engineers with the details of your product and layout. We answer specification questions before a quotation is prepared.
A belt conveyor carries products on a continuous belt, so it handles small parts, bags, loose items and irregular shapes. A roller conveyor carries products on a series of rollers, so the load needs a flat, rigid base that spans at least three rollers, such as a carton, tote or pallet. Belt conveyors are common in processing and packing lines; roller conveyors are common in warehouse, sorting and loading areas. We often combine both in one line.
Yes. Non-standard, made-to-order conveyors are the main part of our work. Send the product dimensions and weight, required length and width, available floor space, working height, speed, and your power supply standard. Our engineers prepare a layout and specification for confirmation before production starts.
The most useful details are: what the product is and its size and weight, how many items per hour, the required conveyor length and width, incline or turning requirements, the working environment (wet, hot, food contact, washdown), preferred frame and belt or roller material, destination port or country, and the quantity. Photos or a simple sketch of the layout are very helpful.
Belts are available in PVC, PU, rubber, canvas and steel cord, with smooth, anti-slip, cleated or sidewall surfaces. Frames are built in powder-coated carbon steel, stainless steel 304 or aluminium profile. For food contact or washdown areas we normally recommend a PU belt with a stainless steel frame.
Yes. Motors, controls and wiring are configured to the electrical standard of the destination country. Please state the voltage, frequency and phase when you enquire so the quotation and build specification are correct.
Yes. Conveyor rollers, belts, sprockets, bearings and drive components can be ordered separately. If you are replacing a part on an existing line, send the roller diameter and length, frame width and shaft type, or the belt width and length, and we will match the dimensions.
Equipment is disassembled into transportable sections where practical, with frames and motors protected for transit, and shipped with an assembly drawing and parts list. Packing method and shipping arrangement are confirmed with the order based on the destination and the size of the units.
We supply assembly drawings, wiring information and commissioning guidance with the equipment, and our technical team supports installation questions remotely. On-site installation can be discussed as part of the project scope.
Single custom units and spare parts orders are accepted. For a complete line, we normally quote the full set of conveyors and stations together so that heights, speeds and interfaces match. Ask us for the options relevant to your project.
Lead time depends on the level of customisation, the number of units and the current production schedule. We confirm a realistic delivery window in the quotation rather than giving a general figure, and keep you updated during fabrication and testing.
Describe the product and the space available. We will recommend the conveyor type.
Send the product details and your floor layout. Our engineers will come back with a recommended configuration and a quotation. Drawings and photos are welcome.
