In situations where application engineers have an opportunity to design a new conveying system (and where there is a need for handling wide products), there is a cost-effective alternative to the industry standard roller conveyor available. Glide-Line’s multi-strand timing belt and multi-strand roller chain conveyors are an economical solution compared to traditional roller conveyors, especially when you’re manufacturing wide products.

A Better Way to Convey Wide Products on a Curved Path

on Thursday, June 24, 2021 By |Ryan Beerley|0 Comments|Wide Products Direct Product Handling

When conveying a wide product directly on a conveyor, conventional conveying systems can be bulky and inflexible. Conveying on a traditional roller conveyor, results in tremendously large radiuses and takes up a ton of floor space. Try doing things like adding custom features like VTUs or rotate units to the line and it gets even more challenging. In short, when conveying a wide product and the line needs a curved path, conventional conveyors often create a myriad of operational issues.
