Bespoke Pallet Handling Solutions
Central Conveyors provides efficient pallet conveyor systems tailored for warehouses, production facilities, and distribution centres. Our solutions, manufactured in the UK, include powered roller conveyors, chain conveyors, and turntables, all designed to optimise material handling operations. These systems enhance productivity by streamlining the transport of palletised goods, maximising space utilisation, and improving delivery efficiency.
Implementing well-designed conveyor systems can significantly reduce the need for manual handling, thereby improving workplace safety and lowering labour costs. Additionally, modern pallet conveyor solutions can be integrated with warehouse management systems, offering real-time tracking and inventory control capabilities.
Our Range
Chain-Driven Live Roller (CDLR) Conveyors
These advanced systems utilise chains to power rollers, providing the necessary force to move heavy palletised loads. Their sturdy construction makes them perfect for demanding industrial environments, capable of supporting weights of several thousand pounds per foot.
CDLR conveyors are especially well-suited for applications that require continuous operation in harsh conditions. The chain-driven mechanism ensures reliable performance, even when handling irregularly shaped pallets or those with uneven weight distribution. Additionally, these systems can be equipped with variable-speed controls to meet various operational needs and throughput requirements.
Gravity Conveyors
Gravity conveyors offer cost-effective solutions that utilise gravitational force for movement, making them particularly suitable for lighter, larger loads that can be manually pushed or transported on an incline. These conveyors are ideal for short distances or for transporting items downward, where powered solutions are not necessary.
One of the advantages of gravity conveyors is their minimal maintenance requirements, thanks to their simple mechanical design and the absence of motorised components. The slope angle can be calculated accurately to ensure optimal flow rates while maintaining safe operation. For facilities with inconsistent power availability or those looking to reduce energy consumption, gravity conveyors are an environmentally friendly choice.
Heavy-Duty Plastic Modular Belt Conveyors
Belt conveyors are a more recent innovation compared to traditional roller conveyors, offering enhanced flexibility for various pallet designs despite their higher cost. While pallets with full bases operate efficiently on roller systems, those with three-strand support can be challenging to transport.
These belt conveyors provide complete support across the entire surface of the pallet and can handle weights of several tonnes. Their modular design allows for easy maintenance, as individual sections can be replaced without interrupting the entire system. Moreover, these conveyors are highly resistant to environmental factors, including moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. This makes them suitable for a variety of industrial applications, including food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Pallet Turners:
These innovative devices facilitate the transfer of goods from supplier pallets to your organisation's pallets without any manual handling. This solution effectively addresses the common problem of pallet recovery, as these assets can be expensive and often in short supply.
The operation is simple: position the loaded pallet in the turning zone, place your empty pallet upside down on top of the goods, and activate the system. Hydraulic clamps securely hold both pallets, execute a 180-degree rotation, and efficiently transfer the goods to your pallet within minutes, all without manual intervention.
Modern pallet turners are equipped with advanced safety features, including pressure-sensitive controls and emergency stop mechanisms. They can be programmed to accommodate various pallet dimensions and load weights, offering versatility across different product lines. By reducing manual handling, these devices not only enhance operational efficiency but also significantly lower the risk of workplace injuries associated with repetitive lifting tasks.
Pallet Shuttles
The advanced components of pallet conveyor systems enable the transfer of pallets between different conveyor lines. These systems operate with winch mechanisms on rail-like tracks, allowing shuttles to collect and discharge pallets at various locations. To enhance safety, floor-mounted scanners monitor the shuttle zone for any unexpected obstacles.
Pallet shuttles are especially useful in high-density storage environments where space optimisation is crucial. They can be integrated with automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) to create highly efficient warehouse operations. The computerised control systems ensure precise positioning and timing, facilitating smooth transitions between conveyor sections and minimising the risk of bottlenecks in material flow.
