Automated Conveyor Systems

Dematic’s MCS enhances operational flexibility, allowing easy modification without replacing the entire system. Its universal side channel supports all conveyor models, making it simple to add, reconfigure, or replace modules. The global metric design uses common components, streamlining maintenance and reducing spare parts.

Dematic MCS handles cases, totes, trays, polybags, and parcels, ensuring efficient material flow. It integrates with workstations, scanners, sorters, label printers, case sealers, weigh scales, palletizers, and robotics. Functions include transport, accumulation, gapping, and diverting.

Dematic MCS combines AC drive motors, low-voltage motor-driven rollers, or both for an optimized conveyor layout. A single AC motor is ideal for long runs, reducing costs compared to multiple rollers.

Features include quiet rollers with double spring action, plastic-coated axles, and sealed-for-life bearings. High-strength, one-piece vulcanized belts provide precise carton control and handle lightweight or polybagged items. The segmented belt conveyor, powered by motor-driven rollers, features automatic tracking and tensioning.

Our conveyor solutions optimize material handling with versatile functionality. They efficiently transport, accumulate, and sort products, creating precise gaps and diverting items to multiple destinations.

Designed to enhance efficiency and flow, our systems support seamless movement and strategic sorting.

Dematic Pallet Conveyor uses integrated unit load technology to efficiently transport pallets, skids, tubs, and carts. It offers functions like transport, accumulation, diversion, rotation, and tilting.

Designed for seamless integration with systems like AS/RS, palletizers, and stretch wrap machines, it features a universal side channel and standardized components. Available in Roller and Chain options.

Durable goods manufacturers rely on automated conveyor systems to streamline the movement of work-in-process (WIP) inventory across production areas.

These systems efficiently transport large or heavy components between workstations such as cutting, welding, assembly, and quality inspection, reducing manual handling and labor costs.

By ensuring consistent material flow, conveyor systems enhance production speed, accuracy, and overall efficiency, helping manufacturers optimize their operations.

In parcel and postage operations, automated conveyor systems are essential for efficient cross-docking, both inbound and outbound.

These systems use a network of moving belts or rollers to transport packages through various stages, from sorting by destination to final packaging and loading.

By incorporating barcode scanning and other technologies, the conveyors accurately identify and direct each parcel, minimizing manual handling and speeding up delivery times.

Conveyor Roller Systems consist of a series of cylindrical rollers mounted on a frame, allowing goods to move across by direct contact with these rollers, which can be powered or unpowered depending on the application. These systems are highly versatile, cost-effective, and particularly suited for handling rigid-bottomed containers, pallets, and packaged goods. Roller conveyors offer excellent durability with relatively low maintenance requirements and can be configured in straight lines, curves, or inclines. They operate efficiently in various environments including warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. Their modular design allows for easy reconfiguration, expansion, or integration with other material handling systems as operational needs change.

Conveyor Belt Systems feature a continuous moving belt stretched between two or more pulleys, creating a smooth surface for transporting materials across distances both short and long. The belts can be made from various materials including rubber, fabric, plastic, leather, or metal, each chosen based on the specific application requirements and environmental conditions. Belt conveyor systems excel at handling both discrete items and bulk materials, making them one of the most versatile and widely used conveyor types across industries. They can be configured with various accessories such as side guards, cleats, flights, or special coatings to accommodate specific material handling challenges. These systems are energy-efficient when properly designed and can transport materials horizontally, on inclines, or even vertically with special configurations.

Pneumatic Conveyor Systems utilize compressed air to move materials through enclosed tubes or pipes, making them ideal for powders, granules, and other dry bulk materials that require containment during transport. These systems operate on either positive pressure (pushing) or negative pressure (vacuum) principles, with the choice depending on the specific material properties and distance requirements. Pneumatic conveyors offer exceptional cleanliness and contamination control, making them particularly valuable in industries with strict hygiene requirements such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. They require minimal floor space compared to other conveyor types as they can be routed vertically, horizontally, or around obstacles with relative ease. These systems provide excellent protection of materials from environmental exposure and can transport materials to multiple destinations through switching valves and diverters.

Gravity Conveyor Systems harness the natural force of gravity to move products down a slight incline without requiring powered components, making them among the most energy-efficient and economical conveyor options available. These simple yet effective systems typically use roller or wheel beds mounted on a frame with a controlled decline angle precisely calculated to ensure proper product flow without excessive speed. Gravity conveyors are commonly deployed in picking operations, loading docks, assembly areas, and shipping stations where goods need to move short distances with minimal mechanical complexity. They offer exceptional reliability due to their minimal moving parts and can be easily integrated with powered conveyor sections to create comprehensive material handling systems. The unpowered nature of these systems makes them particularly valuable during power outages or in facilities where electrical connections are limited or prohibited.
