FAQs

Modular conveyor systems are flexible and customisable conveyor solutions composed of prefabricated sections that can be easily assembled, disassembled, and reconfigured to meet specific requirements.

Modular conveyors are used across various industries, including:

• Manufacturing
• Food and beverage
• Pharmaceuticals
• Logistics
• Warehousing
• Automotive
• E-commerce
• Printing
• Paper and board manufacturing

• Easy customization and scalability
• Quick installation and minimal downtime
• Cost-effective compared to custom-built systems
• Low maintenance due to modular design
• Flexible reconfiguration for changing operational needs

Yes, modular conveyors are designed to handle a wide range of loads, from lightweight items to heavy-duty industrial products, depending on the materials and design specifications.

Yes, modular conveyor systems can integrate with automation technologies like robots, sensors, and control systems to optimize material handling processes.

Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum, and high-strength plastic for the frames, rollers, and belts, depending on the application and industry requirements.

Modular systems include belt conveyors, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, incline/decline conveyors, and specialty conveyors such as spiral or curved models.

Maintenance typically involves regular inspections, cleaning, and lubricating moving parts, replacing worn-out components, and ensuring proper belt or chain tensioning. CMS offers a comprehensive support services solution.

Factors to consider include product weight, size, shape, material handling speed, workspace layout, and environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity). Contact CMS for a FREE conveyor solutions quote.

Yes, many modular systems are designed to meet hygiene standards and can be used in cleanroom environments, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing.

Many modern modular conveyor systems incorporate energy-efficient motors, variable frequency drives, and low-friction materials to reduce energy consumption.

Lead times vary based on the complexity and customization required but are generally shorter than fully bespoke conveyor solutions due to standardized components.

Yes, modular conveyors are designed to be easily disassembled and reassembled, making relocation or reconfiguration straightforward.

Modular conveyor systems are designed with safety in mind and may include features like safety guards, emergency stop buttons, and non-slip surfaces to prevent accidents.

The lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and operating conditions, but modular systems are generally durable and can last for many years with proper care.

Costs vary based on size, complexity, materials, and additional features, but modular systems are typically more cost-effective than custom-built solutions.

Yes, one of the key benefits of modular systems is their scalability, allowing for easy expansion as operational needs grow.

Modular conveyors can be designed with recyclable materials and energy-efficient components, contributing to environmentally friendly operations.

Some modular conveyors are designed for outdoor use with weather-resistant materials, but this depends on the specific system and environmental conditions.

Modular systems are more flexible, easier to install and maintain, and generally more cost-effective than traditional, fixed conveyor systems.
