Planning a Conveyor System

How to think through product, throughput, material flow and maintainability before selecting conveyor equipment.

Know the product and throughput

Document carton or tote sizes, weights, orientation, throughput requirements and accumulation needs.

Map the material flow

Identify induction points, destinations, workstations, packing areas and interfaces with racks, docks or other systems.

Design for maintainability

Access for maintenance, cleaning, controls and future modifications should be considered from the beginning.
