EMI offer a wide choice of heavy duty roller conveyors and container handling products for moving large or heavy parts, boxes, containers, totes or pallets. In addition to our standard products, we also develop custom solutions to suit the needs of your specific work environment.

• Gaylords are loaded onto the lower, live roller conveyor by a fork lift.
• The conveyor moves the gaylords into the fill position. A photo-eye senses the gaylord is in the correct position.
• Parts are conveyed on the top, belt conveyor which fills them into the gaylord.
• When the gaylord is full, the top conveyor momentarily stops. The full gaylord move away and a new empty gaylord indexes into the fill position.

Powered rollers are often used to move heavier totes or boxes. This automated filling system moves empty boxes off of a trunkline system onto a belt conveyor which moves it to weigh scale station. When the box is filled, it is moved to a powered roller conveyor which moves the heavier, filled box back onto the trunkline.

How does it work?

• Containers move down a powered belt conveyor onto a ball transfer plate.
• A photo eye senses the container and signals a sweep arm to move it on to the adjoining gravity, roller conveyor.
• The arm then retracts to await the next container.
