Conveyor equipment needs attention

Transportation equipment should pay attention to the problem First, the environmental conditions are also the main considerations Most of the warehouse is in the air conditioning and lighting conditions. In case of extreme temperatures, special selection of belts, bearings and drive units is required. Although the warehouse is in a relatively clean environment, the conveyor system may have to connect cleaner areas with harsher environments (such as waste bin areas). Some items are based on health and safety factors and must be isolated. These factors also affect the design of the delivery system and storage area. All cargo handling equipment requires a different degree of maintenance. For gravity systems, only periodic inspections are usually required to ensure proper rotation of the rollers. In more complex systems, the manufacturer should provide regular maintenance measures. In general, the company will compile fixed maintenance personnel for expensive production equipment. However, it is not necessary for the equipment in the warehouse to ignore it. In fact, in the preliminary planning stage, for complex handling systems, the cost of maintenance must be included in the procurement budget, and the need for maintenance must also be included in the selection of the system and considerations for evaluation.

Second, the selection considerations of conveying equipment Because the surface of the conveyed goods is in direct contact with the conveyor, the characteristics of the goods directly affect the choice of equipment and the design of the system. The properties of the conveyed article include dimensions, weight, surface properties (soft or hard), processing rate, packaging method, and center of gravity, all of which are factors to be considered. When planning, all items to be conveyed should be listed, the smallest and largest, the heaviest and the lightest, sealed and unsealed. The design of the device is not limited to only the largest or heaviest items that will affect the design.

If lighter items may not be able to actuate the sensor, smaller items will also affect the choice of equipment type, such as drum or belt type. For some accumulative conveyors, the weight distribution of the items has a significant influence. In planning, the main system does not need to deal with all items, and the second system or manual method can be used to deal with less commonly used items, and may be more economical.


All new conveyors must work best with the existing goods handling equipment. Simple systems, such as the use of cranes; complex systems, such as the use of robots, unmanned vans, or access machines. These existing systems will affect the selection and configuration of the equipment, especially at the transfer point of delivery.
