Used Conveyor

Yes! Our used conveyor dealers have more than two decades of experience designing used conveyors that can meet any need, from the simplest powered systems to the most complex conveyors of any type.

It would be our pleasure. Licensed structural engineers and project managers on our expert team will ensure the project meets all applicable codes and regulations and deliver and install your used conveyor system from start to finish.

Between powered and non-powered conveyors, it's easy to get confused about which you need for your facility. Powered conveyors are best for facilities where small packages or products move across larger areas, requiring extra power from the system. Non-powered conveyors use the laws of physics to move items from one place to another. Some examples of environments where gravity-powered conveyors are useful include the following:

• Moving products onto loading trucks
• Sorting products from particular areas or pick modules

When looking for a conveyor system for your facility, the first question you want to ask yourself is what type of materials you need to be transported. While items like packages come to mind, in reality, your conveyor system can transport virtually anything. Here are a few factors you should consider when selecting a conveyor system for specific materials:

• Are products or materials generally similar sizes?
• How abrasive, corrosive or wet are the products you intend to use?
• Are materials composed of things like powders, pellets or fibers?
• How heavy and dense are the materials?

Here are a few important conveyor system specifications you should understand before making any purchases:

• Maximum load capacity
• Conveyor belt speed
• Throughput
• Frame configuration
• Drive locations

Most used conveyor dealers won't walk you through all of these considerations as you shop, but we would be happy to.

While some product slippage may be desirable in certain environments, you’ll need to consider slippage-reducing methods for most products. These include:

• Cleats
• Buckets
• High-friction belting

Our team can help you determine your needs in terms of slippage-reducing implements.
