Developing a conveyor system can be a daunting undertaking for a small business going through expansion. Cornerstone automation systems (CASI) has been working in this business for many years and through their experience have gained a great deal of expertise in designing, manufacturing and fitting conveyor systems to meet every possible handling need. These days most of the conveyor systems are based on 24 volt, but they vary according to the speed required, the weight of the materials to be moved and how the conveyor will be integrated into the complete warehouse handling system. For heavier materials, heavy duty conveyors can be developed to fit any industrial need.
Power considerations are important in running a business and the conveyor system must not only take into consideration the type of materials to be transported, but also the energy efficiency. Roller conveyors are the most energy efficient because they utilise the rolling action to move larger objects. For smaller and more delicate objects the sliding belt system offers a better solution, while the low profile belt conveyor is perfect for larger objects which require lifting by machines.
To ensure every conveyor system runs smoothly right from the beginning, each new system is fully set up at the CASI complex to check the complete working order. This way the downtime for installation is minimised.
