Benefits of Conveyor Upgrades
Investing in upgrades and modifications for your conveyor systems can yield substantial benefits that can ensure you maintain your competitive edge. Here are just a few of the benefits you could experience from the modernisation of your conveyor system:
- Increase Efficiency and Productivity: An upgraded conveyor system can lead to faster processing speeds and reduced downtime, helping you streamline your business processes.
- Cost Savings: With modern conveyor components, you could expect lower maintenance and energy costs as newer components are built with durability and lower energy consumption in mind. It’s also cheaper to modify existing conveyors and replace components.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Updating your safety features ensure that your system meets the latest and most stringent safety standards.
- Space Optimisation: CSL can cleverly design a modification to a system even if space in your facility is tight.
- Maintain Your Competitive Advantage: Businesses are constantly looking for ways to maintain their competitive advantage whether that be with new technology or streamlining processes. Conveyor modifications allow you to adapt to market changes quickly.

For more information on our services, take a look at our maintenance page.
How can CSL improve the safety risks we have on our older conveyor system
Safety standards and designs can chnge over time, CSL will initially identify where improvements need to be made. These include updated safety control systems, additional / relocated emergency stop buttons, additional remote control panels, fence guarding, barriers, maintenance access etc. CSL design and deploy these changes.
Our building layout has changed and now our conveyor blocks an emergency escape route
CSL will look at all the options to suit your building, escape routes, type of operation etc. and suggest the best solution. This may include walkover steps, lift up gates in the conveyors or gantry.
Our warehouse has a conveyor installed by someone else, Can CSL make changes to this?
This is a more difficult question to answer, each circumstance is different. CSL will look at ease case individually and make suggestions depending on what is possible, nearly always there are options which can be successfully deployed to give the desired changes.
Our Maintenance options include:
- Annual service contracts
- Ad-hoc/reactive service visits
- Visual inspections Scheduled/Preventative maintenance visits
- Wear part replacement programmes
- System health checks
- Remote dial in health checks
Breakdowns
We understand the importance of your conveyor system within your warehouse/fulfillment centre/factory, in the rare event of a breakdown we will organise one of our qualified/experienced engineers to visit site ASAP and carry out the repairs needed to get you operational again.
We can repair conveyors installed by ourselves and other integrators, our engineers specialise in equipment manufactured by Conveyor Units (Uni-XU), Interroll, Ambaflex, Qimarox, Intralox, etc.
Spare Parts
Having a supply of consumable and critical spare parts on site is always highly recommended, we estimate that more than 85% of equipment breakdowns can be repaired on the initial engineer visit if parts are held on site!
The supply of spare parts could involve anything from adhoc ordering of individual parts, “front line” breakdown spares kits, critical wear parts or comprehensive spares packages to suit your bespoke system which can fitted by either your in-house maintenance engineers or fully experienced CSL engineers. Spare parts packages can be mechanical, electrical or control based or even a mix to suit your system and requirements.
We can supply both from our own stock of critical genuine spares and a large inventory from our suppliers. Expedited delivery options are also available.
Modernisation & Upgrades
However well designed a conveyor system layout is, sometimes changes in products, company direction, increases in throughputs or changes in scope occur, meaning the previous conveyor system will need changes.
These changes often include:
- Re-configurations
- Upgrades
- Extensions
- Relocations
- Fire escape route changes
- Change in routes/scope or function
- Safety system upgrades
- Improvements in energy efficiency
- Control and software changes
Our continual improvement programs will help you to optimise workflow while also reducing the operation costs. CSL understand the importance of your conveyor system and will define a detailed plan of implementation to minimise downtime and disruption.
By carrying out these changes not only does it save money over a new system it also cuts down on downtime and environmental wastage.
Safety
Over time safety requirements and legislation change, to help keep your conveyor system compliant and operationally safe CSL can carry out modifications to an existing system and its safety functions.
Often the suggested safety upgrades and modifications include:
- Electrical
- Pullcord e-stop systems
- Additional & relocation of e-stops
- Safety barriers & bump stops
- Pedestrian barriers including gates
- Traffic barriers
- Build back sensors
- Walk over structures
- Retro fitting lift up gates
A lot of these changes are simple and can help organisations remain safe and complaint with health and safety legislation. A quick on-site survey can help us identify possible improvements and make suggestions for these changes.
Relocations & Decommissioning
For multiple reasons materials handling systems need relocating, this is usually within the same building or to a new facility. Our project team will carry out a site and equipment survey and will produce a project plan. This would be similar to the work carried out when the system was initially installed and will ensure the equipment will fit in the new location either in the same layout or with a re-configuration.
The equipment will then be disconnected and moved to the new location before being re-fixed and re-connected, this might also involve adding to the system or making software and control modifications.
Our projects and engineering teams can also assist with complete end of usable life decommissioning prior to recycling, this includes disconnecting and making safe the electrics, removal and palletising before collection.
