Conveyor Systems

The cornerstone of any automated packaging system is the conveyor system that moves product from one packaging phase to the next. The efficiency of a packaging system relies in large part on how quickly product can move from the loading stage to the filler, capper, labeler, case packer or other packaging equipment found on your packaging system. Liquid Packaging Solutions offers a wide variety of conveyor types and conveyor options to allow your packaging system to achieve maximum efficiency.

POWER CONVEYORS

Power conveyors are available from Liquid Packaging Solutions in anodized aluminum, stainless steel, sanitary and HDPE construction. Standard size power conveyors are available in lengths of 5, 10, 15 and 20 feet. However, custom lengths and custom conveyor systems are available! Special applications may include incline or decline conveyors, curved conveyor sections, laning conveyors and more!

Conveyor speed is adjusted using a variable speed controller just for the conveyor. PLC systems may have the conveyor speed control built directly into the controller for easy access to all machine controls. For instance, On a filling line, the liquid filler may be controlled by PLC. The speed of the conveyor can be built into the filler control box, creating a centralized control station for all components of the packaging system. Stainless Steel rails with HDPE wear strips, or HDPE rails, allow for smooth bottle motion from one packaging phase to another. Double guide rails are an option for tall, thin or odd shaped bottles. And the quick touch adjustment knobs allow for easy changeover of packaging systems that are running several different bottle types or sizes on the conveyor system.

Most power conveyors are equipped with a 4" polypropylene flat top belt. Wider belt is available upon request. Special conveyor belt material is also available including heat resistant, anti-static and others. Call Liquid Packaging Solutions today to find the perfect conveyor system for your product!
