Balancing High Throughput And Space Considerations In Modern Production Conveyor Designs

Image
  With countless factors weighing on the decisions regarding space utilization in manufacturing environments, it’s never as simple as saying you have enough space for efficient production processes. The more effective approach to  identifying the right conveyor  for your environment is to always think about how to maximize production in minimal space. This is often where a low-profile conveyor becomes part of the solution. The somewhat interchangeable terms of “ low profile conveyor ” or “small footprint conveyor” are classifications without a standard. There is more variability in the term “below standard size” as it relates to the actual conveyor system assembly. The industry accepts some aspects like modularity, and the ability to fit into smaller spaces as broadly universal features of low profile or small footprint conveyors. Production layouts feature many machines, production processes, and even automation components that take up a lot of space. The modular nature ...
