Equipment modules

These are the equipment modules our projects are built from. Figures on each page are typical configuration ranges; the actual specification is designed around your site, your loads and your peak hourly throughput.

Submit project requirements

Telescopic belt conveyor
Installed at the dock door and extended into the truck or container, so loose cartons and parcels go straight on and off the vehicle without being carried the length of the vehicle.
Drum motor (motorised pulley)
Motor and gearbox sealed inside the pulley to drive a belt conveyor directly: compact, low-maintenance, wash-down versions for food, supplied with new conveyors or on its own as a spare.
Power and free overhead conveyor
Drive chain and load track are separate, so carriers can stop, queue and switch tracks; common on paint and assembly lines for cars, appliances and furniture, with a continuous enclosed-track entry model.
Automated put wall
Items from batch picking are put into order cells automatically, one by one, replacing the manual put wall; for e-commerce order consolidation, store allocation and returns sorting.
Bomb-bay sorter
The tray floor opens and the item drops into the chute or bag below: for polybags, bagged and flat items, with destinations packed close together.
Barcode scanning tunnel
A reader frame over the conveyor that reads barcodes on the top, the sides or all six faces, depending on the set-up; the number read decides where the item goes.
RFID tunnel and gate
Batch-reads the RFID tags inside a carton in one pass and checks the resulting tag list against the order; common in apparel and retail shipping and receiving.
Radio pallet shuttle
The forklift sets the pallet at the lane entrance and a remote-controlled shuttle carries it deep into the lane. No aisles inside the rack, more pallets on the same floor, and usually a lower initial investment than an AS/RS.
Cold-store AS/RS solution
Stacker cranes, four-way shuttles or radio shuttles selected for each temperature zone and built into a complete system for the cold store: fewer people in the cold, more storage upwards.
Die and mould AS/RS
Heavy-duty cranes store and retrieve press dies and injection moulds and bring them to the transfer point at changeover, replacing searching and craning; capacity is set by the heaviest die.
Autonomous forklift AGV
Laser navigation, no floor changes. Pallet trucks handle floor-level moves, stackers and reach trucks put away to racking; automatic charging supports multi-shift operation.
Tugger AGV
Tows a train of carts on fixed routes between store and line; suited to in-plant delivery with many stops and a steady cycle.
E-commerce auto bagger
The bag opens automatically, the item goes in, the bag is sealed, and the shipping label is printed on the bag beforehand: an entry step for apparel and small-item e-commerce.
End-of-line packaging line
Case erecting, packing, sealing, weighing, labeling, palletizing and wrapping in one line, configured to output and products; or just the one machine that is the bottleneck.
