WAREHOUSE APPLICATIONS, UNIT MATERIAL HANDLING, FOOD GRADE AND ANTI-CORROSIVE CONVEYOR APPLICATIONS:

Looking for Gravity, Skatewheel, Powered Live Roller, Incline or Decline Belt Conveyor, KMH has the solution.

• Unit Material Handling:

Unit Material Handling includes all conveyor application, where the object being conveyed is considered a 'unit object' as opposed to 'bulk objects'.  These 'unit' conveyor fall into two general classes, either dead (gravity) conveyor, or powered conveyor.  Dead or gravity conveyor usually fall into two categories, either skatewheel or roller conveyor.  Powered conveyor include both powered roller conveyor and belt conveyor. 

Gravity Conveyor:

Omni Metalcraft Corp Gravity conveyor implies some type of 'pitched' conveyor, thus gravity is used to assist in moving the unit object.  Dead roller conveyor usually implies the conveyor are located at a fixed elevation.  Movement of objects on the conveyor is a result of an operator pushing the objects from one location to another.  These conveyor are available in many sizes and are capable of conveying loads as light as a pound or as heavy as several tons.

Omni Metalcraft Powered conveyor include live roller and belt conveyor.  Live roller are generally used for both transportation and accumulation, while belt conveyor are used in incline and decline belt, as well as brake belts.

Gravity conveyor will vary in cost, but are considerable less expensive then powered units.  Budget prices for gravity systems will run about $40.00 to $50.00 per foot while powered unit will cost from $120.00 to $200.00/foot, depending on the overall length and function of the proposed system.

 If your application calls for using gravity conveyor while conveying heavy unit objects such as pallets, you may need to consider using a brake roller to ensure a constant velocity.  As a general rule, if conveying 48” long pallets, you may need one brake roller for each pallet position.  Additional information on brake rollers can be found on the Brake Roller Corporation web site

Anytime your application calls for the movement of ‘something’ other than a standard flat bottom box or pallet, then we usually will need to quote unique equipment designed for a specific purpose.  As a general rule, unique equipment usually implies slightly higher costs, since these are considered ‘one off specials’ and are not ‘mass produced’.  Flexoveyor

has a long history of building special design equipment.  The Flexoveyor Bag Flattener is one example of special design equipment.

• Table Top Chain 
•  Power & Gravity
  • Case & Pallet Handling
  • Black Iron, SS, and Plastic Components
  • Ball Transfers

Ball Transfers are available in a number of sizes.  The purpose of a Ball Transfer table is to usually assist in the movement or rotation of an object, without the need to physically lift and turn the object.  As a general rule, the larger the diameter of the ball, the greater the individual capacity of each ball.  Applications include heavy machine shops where large steel plates are positioned on shears or presses.

Replacement Rollers & Components

• Bulk Handling: Cleated Belt & Slider Bed
• Overhead: Power and Free
• Slick Rail

• Flexible Gravity Conveyor

Roll-A Way Flexible Gravity Conveyor are ideally suited for shipping receiving areas where space is limited.  Flexible conveyor are available in 12", 18", 24" and 30" overall widths, with extended lengths ranging from 8'-0" to 60'-0".  These conveyor, when compressed, occupy a space 1/4 of the original extended length, thus a 10'-0" compressed unit will extend to approximately 40'-0".  The above wheel conveyor is available in plastic wheel, nylon wheel and steel wheel.

• Portable Belt Conveyor

Hytrol Portable Belt Conveyor are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and lengths.  A majority of these units are designed for indoor applications, yet designed properly, the units will work effectively outdoors.

• Slat Conveyor

Omni Metalcraft Corp. Slat Conveyor are considered 'special purpose' units.  Application in assembly operations are one area where these units are employed.

The Jorgensen Hinged Steel Belt Conveyor is Ideal for handling small parts, stampings, scrap, chips, turnings, material wet or dry, horizontal or elevating, single or multiple unit systems.

• Drag Chain Conveyor

Drag Chain conveyor are used in moving large unit loads over extended distances, and are best suited for transportation applications.

• Gravity Skatewheel Conveyor

Omni Metalcraft Corp. Gravity Skatewheel Conveyor are used in light duty applications.  The unit shown above includes the 'hook and rod' coupling, which allows for 'quick connections'.  Butt coupling are also available, but are normally used in 'fixed' applications.  These unit are available in 12", 18" and 24" widths, with standard sections 10'-0" long.

• Tripod Supports
• Line Shaft Conveyor

Line Shaft Conveyor are ideally suited in systems which include short straight runs with curves and spurs.  The advantage of the Line Shaft conveyor lies with the design of the 'drive unit'.  Note a single drive can power a number of straight and curve sections, thus keeping the cost of motors and controls to a minimum.

• 1.38, 1.9 and 2.5" Roller Conveyor

• Vertical Lifts
• Chain Drive live Roller

Omni Metalcraft Corp Chain Driven Live Roller conveyor are suited for a number of heavy duty applications, including very heavy unit loads including pallet loads.  Omni Metalcraft Corp manufactures a wide variety of powered and dead roller units.
