Who we are
Glyn Aylward and Steve Wheatley founded Central Conveyors Ltd in 2007. Glyn has worked in conveyors for 34 years and Steve for 42. Today, we design and manufacture conveyors and automation equipment at our 15,000 sq ft factory in Loughborough.
Our own team handles sales, 3D design, machining, fabrication, control panels and PLC programming. Our electricians and mechanical installation crew fit the equipment on site.
We build single conveyors and complete systems for food production, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, warehousing and distribution, with support and service plans available after installation.
Our Clients
Choosing your conveyor, made easier.
We manufacture belt, roller, modular belt, chain and pallet conveyors for production, packing and distribution. Tell us what you need to move, the space available and your required output.
Standard conveyors typically take 4 to 6 weeks from order. We confirm delivery with your quotation and agree bespoke project schedules individually.
See our complete conveyor systems, bespoke belt conveyors, completed projects and planning guides.
For a standard horizontal conveyor, calculate a belt conveyor budget price. Prices start at £2,390 excluding VAT, supply only, for a 300mm belt × 1,000mm conveyor. CCL confirms suitability before you order.
Your project, delivered
Design around the job. Our sales and engineering team reviews your products, required output and site layout. We develop mechanical designs in SolidWorks and electrical drawings in EPLAN for your approval.
Build and test in-house. We manufacture conveyors and control panels at our Loughborough factory. Our PLC programmers develop the control system, with factory acceptance testing available before delivery.
Install and support. Our own electricians and mechanical installation crew fit the system on site. Aftersales support and service plans help you maintain the equipment throughout its working life.
Bespoke Conveyor Systems for Every Industry
We build conveyor systems for food and drink production, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, retail and warehouse distribution. Each job starts with your products and how they need to move through the site. We look at the load, required output, cleaning needs and the equipment already in place, then design the conveyors and controls to suit.
