Powered Roller Conveyors Provide Solution For Distribution And Wholesale Leader

Client profile

The customer is an industry leader in distribution and wholesale for the automotive, maintenance, and accessories and retail sectors operating across the UK had a requirement to extend its national distribution centre to accommodate an increasing workload due to their success.

How the powered roller conveyor provided a solution

L-A-C Logistics Automation devised a plan that utilised their range of powered lineshaft roller conveyors and declining grip face belt conveyors.

Picked items are placed onto a decline belt conveyor using a grip face belt thus ensuring that the products don’t move during transport. Items are loaded automatically onto the belt conveyor system via an automated induction point when spaces for a product could be moved onto the line.

When the items have reached the ground floor they are transferred onto lineshaft powered roller conveyors for onward movement to the despatch area for final loading into delivery cages.

One of the great benefits of powered lineshaft roller conveyors is that they are a cost-effective solution where there is a basic requirement to move products simply from “a” to “b”. The systems comprised 100 metres of roller conveyor and 12.5 metres of decline belt conveyor.

The systems:
