Conveyors for Warehouse & Packaging Lines

Warehouse handling is unit loads rather than bulk, so the constraints change. Instead of tonnes per hour you are working to cartons per minute, and instead of bulk density you are working to the smallest and heaviest box on the line. Roller pitch, cleat spacing and transfer gaps are all set from that smallest item, because it is the one that will jam. Where levels have to be linked, a Z-type conveyor does it with one drive; where floor space is tight, a spiral does it in a column.
