Custom Conveyor Systems
Designed Around Your Production Layout
Not every production facility has the luxury of a simple, straight-line layout. Tight spaces, changes in direction, access requirements and complex production processes can all create challenges when installing a conventional conveyor system.
That is where custom conveyor engineering makes the difference.
CMS Conveyors designs and manufactures bespoke conveyor systems specifically around your production environment. Whether you need a straightforward change of direction or a highly customised conveyor configuration, our systems can be engineered to make the most efficient use of your available space.
Conveyor Systems Built for Flexible Layouts
Production lines often need to move materials around machinery, through different stages of processing or between areas of a facility. A standard conveyor may not always provide the flexibility required.
CMS Conveyors can design conveyor solutions incorporating directional changes and curved sections, with configurations capable of covering angles from 90° through to 360°.
Our bespoke approach means the conveyor is designed around your facility and production requirements, rather than forcing your production line to fit a standard conveyor design.
Flexible Conveyor Angles
One of the key advantages of a custom conveyor system is the ability to accommodate challenging production layouts.
Our engineering capabilities allow for tight turns and bespoke directional changes, providing solutions from 0° to 360° where the application requires it. This gives manufacturers much greater freedom when planning material flow and making the best use of available floor space.
Whether you are working around existing equipment or designing a completely new production line, a bespoke conveyor can provide the flexibility needed to achieve an efficient layout.
Practical Design Features for Maintenance and Operation
Custom engineering isn’t only about the conveyor’s route. Every aspect of the system can be considered to improve accessibility, hygiene, reliability and day-to-day operation.
Pivoting Tail Section
The conveyor can incorporate a custom pivoting tail section that can be manually lifted upwards when required.
This provides quick and convenient access for:
- Maintenance and servicing
- Cleaning and washdown
- Inspection
- Operator access across the conveyor line
Rather than permanently restricting access around the conveyor, the pivoting section provides a practical solution for busy production environments.
Hygienic Stainless Steel Construction
For applications where cleanliness and durability are critical, CMS Conveyors can manufacture systems using heavy-duty stainless steel frames and supports.
The stainless-steel construction provides long-term durability while also making the conveyor easier to clean and maintain. This is particularly important in production environments where regular washdown and high hygiene standards are required.
Durable Modular Plastic Belting
The conveyor shown incorporates a blue modular plastic belt, designed to operate smoothly through curved sections and directional changes.
Modular plastic belting provides a durable and reliable conveying surface while allowing the conveyor to accommodate complex routes without compromising material flow.
Its robust construction also helps minimise wear and supports reliable operation over extended periods.
Integrated Conveyor Controls
A well-designed conveyor system should be straightforward to operate as well as easy to maintain.
CMS Conveyors can integrate the electrical controls directly into the conveyor system. The illustrated design includes a conveniently mounted electrical box with local speed and power controls, together with an easily accessible emergency stop button.
Keeping the controls close to the conveyor gives operators convenient access while maintaining a clean and practical installation.
A Conveyor Designed Around Your Business
The biggest advantage of a bespoke conveyor system is flexibility.
Instead of adapting your production process to a standard conveyor, CMS Conveyors can engineer a system around your available space, product flow and operational requirements.
From curved conveyors and tight directional changes to hygienic stainless-steel construction, modular belting, pivoting access sections and integrated controls, every element can be considered as part of the overall conveyor design.
