Five steps to choosing a conveyor
Choosing a new conveyor is a harder job than it looks. Any warehouse manager who has purchased new conveyor equipment in recent years knows that outfitting a facility with conveyor equipment demands a crash course in recent technology advances, a spreadsheet to balance the benefits of different options, and an accounting degree to pick the best payment plan.
Now a new infographic from Dorner Manufacturing Corp. of Hartland, Wisc., simplifies the process by presenting a graphic display describing “Five easy steps to choosing a conveyor.”
The diagram offers answers to some of the most frequently asked questions the vendor hears from its customers, including:
- environmental influences (such as wipe down and wash down)
- configuration (options for layouts and design types),
- size range (matching the conveyor equipment to the material handling needs in your DC),
- motors and accessories, and
- choosing a belt type.
Check out the infographic for a quick lesson in the components and pieces of a conveyor, the options and configuration varieties available for each part, and the ideal context and product for that specific element.
