Installation of conveyors

Installation of conveyor systems involves:

• individual turnkey solution;
• high-precision assembly and installation of modular structures with the possibility of scaling;
• use of materials and spare parts of the highest quality;
• commissioning and adjustment works;
• technical audit of conveyors;
• long service life of the equipment.

We install belt, spiral, non-driven roller conveyors; elevators, vertical conveyors and driven conveyors for pallets; vertical conveyors and driven roller conveyors for boxes. KAPELOU conveyors are suitable for automating the internal movement of goods in warehouses where fast order processing and picking are critical.

We install conveyors for companies in the following industries: e-commerce, retail, manufacturing, automotive, food, agriculture, postal and courier services, and FMCG in European countries.

The installation of conveyor systems by our teams provides:

• maximum еfficiency – minimizing the risks of wear and tear of system elements;
• avoidance of overloads – even load on all components;
• long service life – the reliability of the installed systems has been confirmed by more than 700 completed projects;
• reduced maintenance costs – no need for frequent repairs;
• еnergy efficiency – we customize all components for еfficient operation of conveyors with minimal energy losses.

Our installation teams assemble, install and commission the company’s production systems in strict compliance with production standards and safety protocols. The total length of conveyors already installed exceeds 123,000 meters.

The quality of the installation is ensured by the high level of qualification, many years of experience and coordinated work of the installation teams. We supply conveyors in the form of ready-made modules that can be assembled like a construction set, which speeds up the installation and commissioning process. All our conveyors are equipped with safety systems and are connected to the power network in accordance with the requirements of the technical documentation.

Conveyor systems are made of high-strength materials. We design and assemble them according to EN 1990, EN 1993 and European standards EN ISO 14122, EN ISO 12944, FEM 10.3.01 and 10.2.03. The structural modules are manufactured in our own production facilities and then delivered directly to the customer’s warehouse for quick assembly. During the installation, we take into account the peculiarities of the premises and the compliance with the standards of safety and health at work, because the cost of the slightest mistake can be too high.

Stages of conveyor installation:

• assessment of customer needs – determination of the specifics of the premises, goals, estimated project cost;
• solution development – creation of drawings, conveyors layout plan;
• installation of conveyors – assembling key elements (frame, belt, supporting structures), installing a gearbox, connecting to the power grid;
• test runs – checking the system’s functioning according to the set parameters;
• safety compliance check – confirmation of safe operation.

The premises need to be prepared for the installation of conveyors and the customer should do so in advance:

• clear the location, remove obstacles;
• provide access to the installation site;
• take care of safety measures to protect personnel.

Installation teams before the start of work:

• assess the available space and its compliance with technical requirements;
• check the floor for flatness and strength for reliable installation of the conveyor;
• plan the integration of systems based on the specifics of the warehouse.

Express One case study. The largest courier company in Hungary, delivering more than 60,000 parcels daily, chose KAPELOU to automate its warehouse by installing a belt conveyor.

In close cooperation with Bowe Austria, we integrated a solution that allows the sorting of large parcels and their delivery into the existing system, ensuring unobstructed forklift access and free space for staff.

By installing the belt conveyor, the customer was able to optimize the movement of parcels of various shapes and weights and increase warehouse productivity. As a result, the conveyor line moves 1000 packages per hour. Read more in the case study Automated Warehouse for Hungary’s Largest Courier Service.

Epicentr K case study. The logistics center, which handles 160,000 orders per month, turned to KAPELOU to increase the productivity of its 72,000 square meter warehouse complex.

In the receiving area, roller conveyors were installed to optimize the goods receiving algorithm and to automate the transport of trays to the sorting area. The installation of double-deck roller conveyors helped automate the movement of goods and the accumulation of totes. The hinged sections of the conveyors were installed to allow free passage of personnel and equipment. Elevators and spiral conveyors were installed in the storage area to move products between levels. The belt conveyor was installed at a 16-degree angle, with the belt installed in a wave pattern to ensure free movement of personnel. Special platform lifts were installed to circulate pallets and transport containers between storage areas. To spread the flow and avoid congestion in the packing area, we chose to install conveyors at different heights – 1600 and 750 mm.

The multi-stage installation of conveyors with a total length of 3000 m made it possible to automate warehouse processes, simplify logistics and increase the efficiency of goods handling – it takes less than 30 minutes to ship orders along a transport route.
