Improve Packaging Productivity with Conveyors

Posted: October 03, 2018

Conveyor systems are a critical part of packaging automation systems and can add a tremendous boost to productivity. They allow for faster and safer transportation of goods from one location to another. Our integrated conveyor systems are flexible, adaptable and scalable giving the ability to be tailored to the layout of your facility and processes.

What can conveyors do for your packaging line?

Implementing automation systems lead to higher productivity, better packaging performance and higher returns, which put your business above the competition. Conveyor systems can streamline your packaging operations and bring improvements to the following areas:

Increase throughput

By automating the movement of products, you can find an immediate increase in throughput since the conveyors are regulating product movement. While a fully integrated conveyor network can improve output greatly, even adding a conveyor system to a semi-automatic stretch wrapper on a packaging line can have a large effect on efficiency.

Improve safety

Use of a conveyor system lessens employee handling of materials and packages, removing the risk for injury or strains from repetitive motions. Conveyor usage also decreases the need for forklifts to move products from place to place in the facility, reducing the overall risk for workplace accidents.

Reduce damages

Damages and returns are a big problem for many manufacturing facilities. Automation allows for better quality control and creates a high level of accuracy throughout the packaging process. The risk for manual packaging errors is decreased with the help of conveyors to orientate products and create stable loads.

Maximize floor space

Space is at a premium when it comes to most warehousing and manufacturing facilities. The flexibility of conveyor systems allows them to be completely customized to your spatial needs leaving more space for inventory and larger packaging workspace. Conveyors can be routed around obstacles and be installed in overhead space.
