Our Clients
pallet conveyor
Automating the movement of pallets around warehouses and factories has multiple benefits and helps move towards a fully automated facility.
CSL can design and install pallet and stillage handling solutions suitable for moving anything from empty single pallets up to 2-ton loads in simple transit or accumulation modes.
These solutions can be utilised for feeds to and from production / finishing areas. Pallet conveyors are typically either roller or chain-based solutions.
Our pallet conveyor solutions
Our pallet conveyor solutions include peripheral equipment such as:
- Lifts/elevators
- Wrappers/Hooders/strappers
- Palletisers
- Accumulation roller conveyors
- Pallet dispensers/stackers
- ASRS systems
- Pallet condition checks, including weigh stations
- AGV’s
modular pallet design
Systems can be based on modular designs to provide a simple and cost-effective scheme or a bespoke solution can be proposed for applications such as handling non-standard pallets and cages or for harsh environments such as cold stores/outdoor use (-27°C)
- Improved throughputs – more products moved per hour
- Reductions in labour requirements and MHE costs
- Constant movement of products/materials between sectors
- Significant reduction in health and safety risks
- Quickly and safely move products between floor levels
Frequently Asked Questions
How versatile are conveyor solutions for different pallet sizes?
Highly versatile! We cater to most pallet and cage sizes and weights, ensuring consistent and smooth operations irrespective of the load.
What's the advantage of opting for automated storage/retrieval alongside conveyors?
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) combined with our conveyors provide a fully integrated solution, maximising storage space, ensuring quicker retrieval times, and streamlining the entire logistics process.
Do you provide maintenance services for installed conveyor systems?
Yes, in addition to our state-of-the-art systems having lower maintenance requirements, we also offer maintenance services to ensure your conveyors run optimally.
How do pallet condition checks enhance the conveyor system?
By automatically assessing and filtering out compromised pallets, we prevent potential disruptions and damages, ensuring a smoother flow and longer lifespan for the system and the products.
Can I get a customised solution for my specific needs?
Certainly. We pride ourselves on offering modular solutions for general needs and bespoke designs tailor-made for specific requirements.
More Infomation
What are pallet automation & conveyor systems?
Pallet conveyor systems are built to streamline pallet movement and management. Our automation ensures pallets, whether empty or loaded with up to 2 tons, move seamlessly and safety throughout your facility.
The primary function of a pallet conveyor is to effectively move goods. This could be between production, finishing zones, storage areas, and more. Often they can eliminate the need for manual handling or forklift truck which reduces error and potential injury to your workforce.
They can be installed with complementary equipment like wrappers, strappers, and labellers. All of which are pivotal in progressing towards a fully automated and efficient facility.
Pallet Racking
Conveyor Systems Ltd.’s expertly designed pallet racking and shelving systems bring precision and adaptability to your storage needs. Whether considering new installations or enhancing existing setups, our pallet rack mezzanine solutions cater to your unique requirements, including product type, stock life cycle, throughput, and compatibility with retrieval and replenishment machinery.
Pallet Racking Mezzanine Systems:
Choose from an array of pallet racking options meticulously designed for optimal storage efficiency:
- Wide aisle: Offering versatile access to your goods, suitable for various product types and stock cycles.
- Narrow aisle: Ideal for high-density storage, maximising vertical space utilisation.
- Double deep: Doubling storage capacity while maintaining selectivity.
- Drive in/through: High-density storage with fewer aisles, perfect for bulk goods.
- Push back: Maximising space while allowing for efficient stock rotation.
- Pallet line storage: Systematically streamlining storage.
The benefits of automating pallet movement
- Hybrid & full automation: Seamless integration options, whether partial or fully automated, to work effectively with AGVs
- Smart System integration: Our advanced control systems (WCS) work with the client’s WMS, promoting an intelligent operational approach
- Increased safety: Reduction in forklift movements for an enhanced safety profile for your facility
- Optimal labour utilisation: With automated pallet transit, harness the full potential of your workforce, directing labour resources more strategically
- Consistent pallet movement: Ensure uninterrupted pallet transit and feeds
- Flexible pallet accumulation: Options for both live and offline pallet accumulation
- Versatility in handling: Our systems accommodate various pallet and cage weights and sizes
- Economical maintenance: In the long term, our automated systems are more cost-effective, requiring less upkeep than forklift trucks.
Our Pallet Conveyor Solutions
Accumulation roller conveyors
These systems allow for the temporary storage of pallets by halting or accumulating them in designated zones. This is done without interrupting the flow or requiring a stop in the conveyor line. It ensures a smoother workflow, beneficial in areas with different pallet processing speeds.
Whether integrating into production zones, finishing areas, or automated storage/retrieval systems, these conveyors excel in harmonising transitions. Our designs ensure compatibility with both single empty pallets and heavier 2-ton loads. This can offer flexible solutions for modern warehousing needs.
Elevators and lowerators
Elevators and lowerators make the most of vertical space and ensure smooth movement of pallets across different levels such as mezzanine floors.
With our innovative design, they integrate within our conveyor solutions, ensuring pallets transition smoothly, even in height-restricted environments. We can integrate elevators and lowerators within our conveyor solutions, ensuring pallets transition smoothly, even in height-restricted environments.
Palletisers
Palletisers arrange goods onto pallets in predefined patterns, so they are ready for distribution or storage. Palletisers integrate with your conveyor systems ensuring an easy transition from production lines to complete pallet loads.
Palletisers can maximise storage, increasing throughput, and reducing manual handling risks.
Pallet condition checks
Pallet condition check systems can detect any damages or irregularities in pallets before they enter the automation flow. Our integrated systems ensure that only pallets in prime condition progress through the conveyor system. This proactive approach safeguards the goods and prevents potential system disruptions while also reducing health and safety risks.
By automatically assessing and filtering out compromised pallets, operational efficiency is enhanced, reduce manual oversight, and ensure the longevity of both products and the automated system itself.
Chain Conveyors
Chain Conveyors are powered chains set in tracks. They are engineered to transport heavier loads, like substantial pallets, with ease and precision.
Whether directing goods between production zones or streamlining pathways to storage areas, they are incredibly versatile and work well with other equipment, like palletisers and wrappers.
