Types of conveyors and their uses
Types of conveyor systems and their uses vary widely, each serving specific purposes across various industries. At MCL, we offer a diverse range of conveyor systems that can be customised to meet your needs, adapting to your priorities or your space as required.
- Belt Conveyors
- Roller Conveyors
- Spiral Conveyors
Belt Conveyors
Belt conveyors are among the most common types, widely used for transporting goods and materials horizontally, vertically, or at an incline. They are versatile and can handle a wide range of products, making them great for industries such as warehousing and distribution.
Roller Conveyors
Roller conveyors utilise cylindrical rollers to transport items along a path, offering smooth and efficient movement. They are commonly used in warehouses or assembly lines, for the transportation of boxes, pallets, and other large packaged items. We can supply both powered rollers or gravity rollers which are energy efficient and feature brakes to slow the descent of an object.
Spiral Conveyors
Spiral conveyors are used for vertical conveying, and offer fantastic space-saving benefits. Most spiral conveyors are delivered in one piece, pre-assembled and pre-tested. This can drastically reduce the time and cost of installation. MCL has an exclusive contract with Apollo VTS for spiral conveyors, collaborating to design, manufacture and install next generation conveying solutions perfect for unique sites with specific needs.
In addition to these common types of conveyors, MCL also offers specialised systems for specific industries. Depending on your needs, these might include chain conveyors, pallet conveyors, stackers, and vertical case elevators.
