Overhead Conveyors can be designed as effective solutions for applications such as:
Handling products through processes such as spray-painting, dip painting, bonderizing,
washing, degreasing, drying, cooling, sand blasting,
and heat-treating
Moving incoming and outgoing parts, carrying parts
between storage and manufacturing, or from one
department to another
Carrying work
in process from one operation to another
Mobile Storage
(using air space) in warehouses and overhead spaces
Transportation
between buildings and over long distance
Industries where overhead conveyors have been the preferred material handling choice include:
Ceramic Industry
Wood Finishing
Instrument Assembly
Dip Line Metal Treatment
Die Casting Foundation
Plastics Industry
Automotive Assembly & Parts Handling
Tray Transportation & Conveying
Metal Stamping
Powder Coating & Finishing
Empty Carton & Packing Station
Over & Under Storage Conveyor
Overhead Conveyor Systems are being used in thousands of operations around the world. They have the ability to convey both small or large objects and the capacity for both light and heavy material. Examples of some of the material that is currently being handled by overhead conveyors include clothing garments, empty cartons, totes, metal, furniture, stamped parts, gas tanks, foot gear, plastic, ceramic, wood, electronic instruments, food, ovens, sporting goods, and glass. Overhead conveyor is manufactured and available as Enclosed Track, Power & Free, and Monorail Systems. The advanced design of overhead conveyor has made it a practical choice for a large cross section of industry. In addition to saving operational space, overhead conveyor can frequently be purchased and installed at a cost that is less than belt and roller conveyor systems.
