Belt conveyor

Are you looking for solutions to achieve higher throughput and improve efficiency without compromising the flexibility of your warehouse? A belt conveyor is a modular system designed for the horizontal transport of small products, containers and packaging along a specific inclined path.

Key advantages offered by KAPELOU belt conveyors:

• Adjustable conveyor speed
• Careful transportation
• Intra-warehouse conveying of goods in or without containers
• Inclined conveying path
• German wear-resistant conveyor belt
• Smooth conveyor starting and stopping
• Low noise level even at full load operation, max. 65 dB
• Seamless integration with all types of warehouse equipment

Belt conveyors are used for warehouse automation in the e-commerce sector, by pharmaceutical and automotive retailers, and by postal and courier services. Belt conveyors are also often used as part of sortation systems.

In June 2022, we realized a project of belt transporters implementation for the largest courier company in Hungary. The company is a part of the Austrian Post and delivers more than 60,000 parcels every day. The project was carried out in close cooperation with our strategic partner BÖWE Austria.

The goal was to automate several areas of the 8,500 square meter warehouse and to solve the problem of handling large and non-standard parcels.

The installation of our belt equipment has increased productivity. Belt transporters and a platform with cantilevered profiles move large parcels, including non-standard sizes (maximum size 1200x600x500 mm), weighing up to 50 kg.

A 40-meter-long conveyor line of our own manufacture has increased productivity to 1000 parcels per hour. Such automation ensures unhindered movement of forklifts and leaves free space for workers.

The project to integrate the conveyor equipment of our own manufacture helped the customer solve the main task – to quickly sort standard, oversized and non-standard parcels and increase the throughput.

Due to its versatility and high productivity, the belt conveyor is effective in automating various areas of intralogistics. It can be installed at any stage of product handling, including loading/shipping, production, sorting, and order picking. The conveyor’s ability to move goods of any size and weight between different areas, even at an angle, makes it indispensable for increasing efficiency in manufacturing, the automotive industry, e-commerce, courier services and DIY.

Made of high quality materials resistant to moisture, dirt and low temperatures, the conveyor can be used in pharmaceutical distribution and food industries where industrial sanitation and hygiene requirements are strictly enforced. It is adapted to the gentle movement of pieces and packaged goods in warehouse or factory containers. The modularity of the equipment allows it to be adapted to different product handling conditions, depending on the needs of each individual warehouse.

The belt conveyor can be operated more efficiently in combination with the following types of equipment:

1. The weighing module is integrated into the conveyor equipment and compares the weight of the load with the reference value at the picking stage and, in case of a mismatch, redirects the goods to a separate area for manual inspection.
2. Machine vision and WMS help the conveyor direct products to the correct area after automatic load identification with the ability to read information from the packaging on three sides.
3. Other types of conveyors and various types of in-house manufactured lifts in combination with the belt conveyor significantly increase the warehouse’s throughput capacity by fully automating the movement of goods at various levels and optimizing logistics processes.
