Common Sense Conveyor System Technology
- it's what we do.

Multi-conveyor supplies a vast array of conveyor technologies considered multi-purpose. No one product defines Multi-Conveyor. We build over 70+ proven technologies on a regular basis from standard, economical pre-engineered and quick-ship Success Line and Slim-Fit highly sanitary, low profile systems to accumulation; mat-top and table top conveyors; merge or diverts; incline elevation and lowering conveyors; MDR and much more.

Options include sanitary, stainless-steel construction or standard mild-steel for non-hygienic applications including portable and modular systems to suit most any product type in most any market or industry. For most of our applications we combine several conveyor technologies to create one complete system.

These conveyors are designed to move, transfer, grip, orient, elevate, incline, decline, merge, divert, accumulate, rotate and transfer products from each production point throughout the entire packaging or manufacturing line processes.

Key markets include packaging, food, beverage, craft brew or RTD, pharmaceuticals, the pet food or pet products industry, household goods, personal care, industrial or construction applications, automotive, agriculture, material handling, warehouse distribution and e-commerce – to name a few.

Yes. Multi-purpose conveyors are engineered to convey raw and packaged goods, flexible or rigid products, bottles, trays, cases and even pallets.

Our design engineers create common sense systems to handle a variety of product widths, weights and sizes for simplistic product line changeover. Adaptability to various shapes, weights and sizes allows flexibility to match our solutions to your products for increased throughput and future expansion.

If this research is not done up front and a system is purchased on lowest initial cost, a poorly performing conveyor and extremely expensive retrofit could have you scrambling with interrupted production and a major headache in the process.

Absolutely – that’s our core – it’s what we do. Renowned industry CPGs and OEMs return to Multi-Conveyor time and again due to our unique niche capability of designing conveyor systems to your exact specification.

Our engineers not only meet your application objectives but exceed your expectations in the process. In fact, for nearly 75% of the projects brought to us, we opt to change at least some part of the physical layout, chain or belt types, ergonomics, or functionality to benefit the customer.

It can be as simple as getting the required straight length before or after a curve, or as complicated as a complete redraw of their system. The goal? To offer a more functional, cost-effective solution while maximizing productivity or saving crucial floor space in the process.

Multi-Conveyor constructs exceptionally hygienic, sanitary, wash down ready or washdown-rated, food grade and clean room conveyors systems regularly – providing sanitation levels all the way up to critically scrutinized 3A Dairy standards.

We are keenly aware of agency compliance requirements including USDA, FDA, 3A, BISSC and more. Many applications utilize more than one sanitation level of construction as a cost-savings measure.

Compliance may require wash down bolted designs, wear-strips and continuous welds; sanitary supports; pattern cleanout holes; stainless steel frames; and special rated power transmission components.

3A Dairy requires actual certification – of which Multi-Conveyor is well versed. However, it is ultimately up to you, the customer, to be aware of your product’s food safety or pharmaceutical product guidelines, making sure that compliance is addressed from inception during the design engineering stages of your new conveyor.

Definitely. Multi-Conveyor’s electrical engineering team configures PLC controls, sensors, detection systems, logic controls, HMIs, servo devices and much more.

As one customer put it, “I wanted to point out that as we were visualizing how all of this (new e-commerce line) was going to work, we worked very closely with Multi-Conveyor to build the controls so all of these pieces (OEM equipment) can communicate. For example, if one (labeler) line was to go down, we know right away that we need to slow the wrapper down. So the controls that Multi-Conveyor built communicate upstream, tell the wrapper to slow down, tell the ARB table to stop sending pairs (boxes) to this line, so we can figure out what’s going on with the line to get it resolved. When they turn the line back on, the controls tell the wrapper to speed up and tell the ARB table to start going back and forth (diverting) again. Multi-Conveyor’s electrical engineering team stepped up (vs. other OEM’s on that same line) and took the only onsite upfront technical support reins to calibrate the sensors, timing, controls and communications between OEM equipment.” ~ Jason Russ, Director of Information Systems, Weyco Group.

Frankly, that’s our job – let us help. Choosing the right conveyor depends on your individual product(s), manufacturing facility, floor space, production output demands (now and future forecasted) and ancillary equipment communications or integration on the line. Consulting with our seasoned engineering, estimation, and project management teams early in the project will ensure you’re getting the optimal conveyor match. This holds true for OEMs that come to Multi-Conveyor looking to incorporate conveyor sections into their existing project – even private labeled in some cases. Multi-Conveyor is one of the only companies that will provide the upfront technical conveyor support OEMs require, giving them a strategic advantage.

Yes. Multi-conveyor offers additional services for installation assistance, start-up support, parts and long-term service solutions, owners manuals with suggested preventative and scheduled maintenance and more, all combined to extend the performance, longevity and life of your conveyor system.
