Material handling equipment can be divided into four categories: bulk material storage and handling, bulk material storage and handling, industrial trucks, and engineered systems. Let's have a look at each.

9. Automation: Implement automation in warehouse processes such as picking and retrieval to lower costs and boost employee productivity.
A problem in automated material handling systems can be poor pallet quality. Although it may reduce the problems associated with poor pallet quality, placing rollers closer together will not allow for chain transfers. IK has designed a chain transfer for 4,000-pound load. It is constructed using a 3/8” steel plate welded frame. This allows for 2-1/2” diameter wheels on 4-1/2” centers. This transfer comes with a chain-take-up design that is easy to adjust without requiring conveyor disassembly.
The control unit is controlled by a PLC. This allows for load transfers at 90° to either side or straight through the system based on logic/sensor response. The entire system is fully compatible with downstream equipment and upstream equipment.
An effective material handling system allows your company to have the necessary stock in smaller spaces where possible, reduce time spent on internal operations (such us transport and picking), control inventory in real-time, reduce operational costs and optimize the overall flow of goods in your facility.
Depending on the needs of your warehouse, storage and handling equipment can store materials for either short or long periods.
Our cross transfer conveyors find application in numerous industries, including chemical, paint and vehicle industry etc. Does your work require such kind of a conveying system? For all your queries, you can speak to our representatives today! We surely can help you with any requirement with regards to conveying!
Conveyors and cross transfer handlers offer a 90-degree transfer of loads and materials in the shortest possible time. It is well equipped and flexible to use the vertical lift and transfer mechanisms stimulated by pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical systems.
Poor pallet quality can be an issue in an automated material handling system. Locating rollers closer together can reduce issues with poor pallet quality, but tight roller centers also limit the space available for chain transfers. IK has developed a chain transfer for 4,000-pound loads that is fabricated using a 3/8” plate welded steel frame which allows for 2-1/2” diameter rollers on 4-1/2” centers. This transfer includes a chain take-up design that can be adjusted without any conveyor disassembly or removal of rollers.
Material handling involves more than just the inventory management. It involves the movement, protection and storage of materials and products during their entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal. Material handling is a collection of components that help keep the supply chain running smoothly. You can choose from a range of equipment (manual, semi-automated or automated) as well systems (single level storage, multi-level stock, conveyors, etc. ).
By utilizing materials handling systems, employees are released from labor-intensive (for example, lifting heavy items) and monotonous tasks that will help them reduce stress levels and achieve overall satisfaction with work.
You can avoid spending more money on equipment damage by investing in quality solutions. Also, educate your employees about proper equipment maintenance.
System of Belt Conveyors
A belt conveyor, also known as a conveyor belt, is a simple conveyor with few features that is primarily used to transport bulk materials such as sand, salt, and grain. Its simplicity makes it simple to use and one of the most common types of conveyors.
What exactly are mechanical conveyors? Because of their dust-free and clean handling properties, mechanical conveyors are one of the most efficient methods of conveying materials. These conveyors are designed and built specifically for the product to be conveyed and are well suited to a wide range of applications across many industries.
Many industries use conveyor systems, including mining, automotive, agricultural, computer, electronic, food processing, aerospace, pharmaceutical, chemical, bottling and canning, print finishing, and packaging.
