What makes a KAPELOU conveyor better than its competitors?
We manufacture pallet conveyor systems in-house, using a full-cycle production process. This allows us to maintain strict quality control at every stage of manufacturing and deliver customized warehouse automation technologies based on real picking and handling demands – not generic templates.
You can purchase a roller conveyor to automate a picking warehouse area or as part of a complete upgrade of your internal logistics flow. Functional capabilities of our roller conveyors:
- Seamless integration with other systems – our equipment is built from modular sections controlled by dedicated software, designed to integrate with any warehouse management system (WMS) and warehouse control systems (WCS) or other warehouse equipment.
- Scalability and functional expansion – when your operation grows or your process changes, the transport line can be expanded by adding new modules – without rebuilding the system from scratch.
- Service life of 10+ years – all components are built for durability and long-term performance. European-grade steel profiles withstand high operational loads, rollers feature an extended lifecycle, and the electronics and components from proven brands have demonstrated reliability in real-world use.
- Energy efficiency and smooth start-up – high-efficiency variable frequency drives (VFDs) reduce energy consumption and enable smooth acceleration. The pallet conveying system activates only the zones that currently carry loads, minimizing unnecessary power usage.
- Accumulation capability. Smart accumulation reduces pallet pressure. Accumulation zones improve throughput balance. The system keeps operating reliably even if one zone is temporarily stopped. Pallets accumulate safely until the zone restarts, preventing disruptions across the entire line. Accumulation is critical in ensuring safe material flow in complex warehouse layouts.
- Optimized load distribution – the control software automatically switches zones on or off to ensure balanced transport and prevent overloading or congestion in specific areas.
- Gentle, damage-free transport – Zero Pressure Accumulation (ZPA) logic maintains consistent spacing between pallets. Zero-pressure accumulation ensures flow safety. No-contact accumulation protects the load.
What are the main modules of a transport system?
The automated system is built from individual modules:
- powered roller conveyor;
- chain conveyor;
- turntable for direction changes;
- vertical conveyor (elevator);
- chain diverter;
- roller diverter;
- pallet wrapper (palletizer);
- accumulation module;
- loading/unloading module – for pallet feeding using a forklift.
In the receiving and dispatch areas, we install transfer gates. The automated equipment is delivered to your facility as modular units, which minimizes installation time and significantly speeds up commissioning.
Technical data of the automated roller transporter
Case study: how we automated the FMCG warehouse with conveyor systems
To increase both speed and quality of load handling and picking, we delivered a comprehensive transport automation project for a bakery products supplier.
The project automated goods handling ensuring:
- safe transport between warehouse zones;
- uninterrupted horizontal and vertical material transport through integration with an elevator;
- throughput of up to 60 pallets per hour with high accuracy;
- a significant reduction in manual handling, picking and physical strain on warehouse staff.
The system operates with hygienic, plastic Euro pallets (1200 × 800 mm). The automated roller transporter supports reversible transport, with operating modes selected via a touch panel featuring a clear, user-friendly interface. The automated roller transporters are integrated with the warehouse WMS. Intelligent software determines the transport route and discharge point for each pallet, while operators monitor and control the process in real time through intuitive HMI panels. As a result, the pallet transfer technology achieves maximum efficiency – with no downtime and no handling and picking errors.
Thanks to the automated roller transport technology, the warehouse can easily adapt to seasonal peaks and respond quickly when higher throughput is required. Learn more about the project in the case study “Pallet handling automation: efficiency on every level”.
Why do you need a powered pallet conveyor technology?
A powered pallet system is designed to transport palletized loads inside a warehouse, enabling a continuous, controlled, and optimized internal material flow between receiving, storage, order picking, and shipping areas.
The technology ensures stable, reliable transport, reduces manual handling, and eliminates operational bottlenecks that slow down throughput and disrupt daily performance. Systems for pallet and large load carriers ensure smooth handling with features like motorized rollers, automated control, and accumulation capabilities for zero-pressure queuing.
Where are roller transporters typically used in a warehouse?
- Receiving – automated transfer without manual handling from inbound docks to inspection stations or directly into storage.
- Storage & order fulfillment areas – integration with high-bay racking, shuttle systems, and automated storage and retrieval technologies (AS/RS) to support faster and more structured internal logistics.
- Shipping – efficient staging and preparation of palletized loads before loading into outbound transport.
Key benefits of roller transporters for warehouses:
- Consistent speed and process reliability.
- More efficient use of resources and lower operating costs.
- Improved ergonomics and workplace safety – by eliminating manual handling of heavy loads during picking, reducing physical strain and improving comfort for operators.
