Container Conveyor Technology

Automated Container Transport

Solutions for Transporting Small to Large Containers

Cartons sail through the warehouse on their way to their intended destination. Filled drums leave the production line and are automatically transferred to a pallet. This is all made possible by container conveyor systems, which transport individual containers between various stages of the logistics chain. 

Applications for Container Conveyor Systems

SMB's container conveyor technology efficiently moves different types of containers—such as cartons, trays, or drums—through warehouses or production lines. 

Our conveyor solutions can handle everything from small, lightweight containers to large heavy-duty containers. These systems not only transport but can also sort, buffer, accumulate and load or unload containers. As such, container conveyor systems are the perfect addition to filling systems, automated storage solutions, and palletizers

When these systems are combined, they can increase the overall degree of automation of the logistics chain. All processes, from the provisioning of raw materials through production, packaging, and storage, can be fully automated. 

Many industries rely on container conveyors to automate frequent paths in their facilities. This could include transporting packaged food products like flour, confectionery or dairy products in cartons. Container conveyors move these items at high speeds, which keeps the rest of the intralogistics operations running smoothly. Our conveyor systems can also handle different kinds of containers, which makes them an attractive option for the pharmaceutical and e-commerce industries. 

The following advantages further distinguish SMB's container conveyor technology from the competition: 

  • High throughput 
  • Energy-efficient operation 
  • Durable and low-maintenance equipment 
  • High safety standards

Modular Belt Conveyors

The wide range of applications and gentle handling of items makes modular belt conveyors a key component of many conveyor systems. One key advantage of this technology is the ability to create custom paths which are both wider and longer and operate with just one drive.

Roller Tacks

Roller conveyors are ideal for transporting various types and sizes of containers without additional load carriers. They are continuous conveyors which typically operate without electricity. The roller diameter and spacing are chosen based on the goods to be transported.

Belt Conveyors

Belt conveyors allow for the easy transportation of lightweight, singular items. They can handle inclines, declines and flat sections with ease. Belt conveyors are commonly used for transferring items to a palletizer or ship loading system.

Features of Our Container Conveyor Systems

Different Types of Containers

From cartons to trays to large drums, our conveyor technology can handle a wide range of containers. Size, drive systems, and materials are configured based on the specific requirements of your application. 

Flexible Path Design

Whether for production lines or storage systems, container conveyors link your systems together. Routes can include turns, inclines and long distances. 

Safe Transport

All SMB container conveyor systems meet the latest legal regulations and safety standards. Every connection point in the conveyor system is well secured. 

Automated Integration

Container conveyor systems automate transportation steps within the overall intralogistics chain, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This increases automation, which in turn speeds up the operation and increases overall efficiency.
