Conveyor Concepts can provide custom conveyance solutions. For this project the customer desired a unique sequence for case alignment and accumulation. For this one off application Conveyor Concept’s engineering team designed and fabricated a custom set of components, assembled them into a finished conveyor line, and performed a series of validation tests in our shop.
Conveyor Concepts is proud to partner with the some of the best companies in the conveyor business. Being a distributor of top brands in the material handling industry allows Conveyor Concepts to mix and match products to provide our customers with the best solution possible. See a full list of reputable partners here to discover if we can solve your material handling problems!
Although line shaft conveyors are considered old school technology in the conveyor business, it doesn’t mean it won’t get the job done. One of the biggest hassles with line shaft conveyor is that they can get very loud over the life of product as parts continue to wear down. Line shaft conveyor is very easy to work on, which is one of its primary benefits. Maintenance workers can find line shaft conveyor parts and fix the problem themselves. However, if you are facing old line shaft conveyor you may reach a fork in the road where the decision needs to be made; is it best to update or upgrade?
Conveyor Concepts is proud to be a Dura-Belt distributor to provide our customers with high-quality polyurethane belting. Conveyor belting varies from conveyor to conveyor, and our experts know the perfect solution for you. There are many different names for these endless round belts such as round belting, O-ring belts, or endless drive belts. When installing or modifying conveyor systems conveyor belting is a key to discovering the correct solution to handle your product. While there are many things to consider in the process of selecting the correct belt, it is important to know the three variables: durometer, length and color. Utilizing knowledge of these three variables belts can be selected to drive product with enough force and durability.

As the industry evolves in the 21st Century, so does the nature of automation. Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics have created a world in which artificial workers can perform complex tasks. Increased warehouse automation improves worker safety, reduces the number of repetitive menial tasks performed by human workers, and streamlines logistical processes and procedures.
No invention has had as much influence on the development and growth of the industry worldwide than conveyor systems.
As the industry looks to emerge from the pandemic, efficient and effective processes will be increasingly important to a fast recovery. Advanced robotics will be key to streamline manufacturing, storage, and material movement.
When the Industrial Revolution turned America into the production capital of the world, it did so through a few inventions that may seem simplistic by today’s standards. At the turn of the 20th century, new forms of energy were being optimized, inventions were improving workers’ productivity and output, and the application of science was turning the industry on its head. Among the most lasting machine inventions that still holds relevance and importance today, is the conveyor belt system.
We are standing on the precipice of a new era. Artificial Intelligence and fine-tuned automation is set to push manufacturing and material transportation into the future. Just as the Industrial Revolution, mass production, and computers and robotics heralded new epochs of industry, AI looks to be the next step.
