Benefits of Using Automated Conveyor Systems

Conveyor paint and powder coating applications provide many advantages, including:

  • Reduced expenses: While installing conveyor systems can be a significant expense, they pay for themselves many times over by drastically reducing labor requirements and eliminating costs related to job site injuries and worker’s compensation claims.
  • Better use of space: With the use of conveyors, you’ll be able to find more space through aisles and require less personnel and material handling equipment on the work floor. Conveyors can also be elevated, freeing up even more floor space for you to expand your operating capacity.
  • Increased productivity: Automated conveyor systems allow for continuous operation for extended periods. You can also benefit by eliminating human error, which reduces product loss and costly downtime.

Enlisting other services such as abrasive blasting and paint stripping can help you reap these conveyor system benefits even more.

Types of Conveyor Applications

Automated conveyor systems are customizable for different jobs and environments that require the efficient movement of items, parts and materials. There are many models of conveyors to choose from, including conveyor washing, turntable, monorail and tumbling systems as well as orbiting and return-to-operation units.

Just a few of the many uses of conveyor systems include:

  • Cleaning: Systems can be designed to accommodate highly specialized cleaning tasks in addition to rinsing, drying and related capabilities.
  • Sorting: Conveyors are used in sorting small parts, produce, waste and recyclable materials along with a broad range of other products and processes.
  • Assembly: Automotive operations and retail manufacturing facilities lean on conveyors to keep assembly lines moving smoothly with increased safety and organization.
  • Warehousing: From shipping and receiving to stacking and order picking, there are many conveyor applications capable of streamlining a warehousing operation.
  • Packaging: Modern fulfillment centers utilize automated conveyor systems in filling orders and packaging products for shipping and distribution.
  • Processing: Conveyors move parts and materials with precision between processes from casting and molding to joining and painting.
