Australian-Designed and Manufactured Conveyor Systems

 
 

Live Industrial's range of "other packaging equipment" includes a wide range of conveyor systems to suit every industrial application - whether to adapt to existing manufacturing lines, or to complement Live Industrial's extensive range of packaging equipment. We sell, install and commission our entire range of conveyor systems throughout Melbourne, Victoria and Australia, and provide on-going technical support for all systems sold.

Live Industrial's conveyor systems are Australian-designed and manufactured. These high-quality, affordable conveyor systems are reliable, specialised conveyor systems, purpose-designed and -built to suit all manufacturing and packaging customers that require a conveyor-based solution, whether it be manufacturing or assembly.

Belt Conveyor Systems
Belt conveyors utilise a flat belt running on a flat fabricated steel deck or over rollers. They are ideally suited to irregular shaped product that cannot easily be handled on any other conveyor styles eg. floppy sacks or satchels; bags of powder and flour; or raw food products. The belt conveyor is an excellent choice for handling items with loose strings or tapes attached that would otherwise get caught in other conveyor styles, and where a change in elevation is required.
   
Chain Conveyor Systems
Chain conveyor systems have multiple strands of chains running over fabricated frames and guides. They are used where positive transport of goods is required, often in conjunction with roller conveyors where a change in direction is required. Chain conveyor systems are commonly used for the movement of heavy loads eg. pallets, drums and stillages in warehouses, manufacturing areas and mailing rooms. Where a product is irregularly shaped, or has protrusions, a chain conveyor is often used.
   
Chain Driven Roller Conveyor Systems
A chain driven roller conveyor system is one where the power to the rollers is transmitted via a chain and sprocket drive. Chain driven roller conveyors provide good positive drive for heavy loads eg. crates, drums, cartons, stillages and pallets, while giving low pressure accumulation, enabling the conveyor to be controlled to store or accumulate product on it when required, and released gradually as desired for further transport or processing.
   
Gravity Roller Conveyor Systems
Gravity roller conveyor systems are the most economical of those that utilise free-running static rollers of steel or plastic materials, mounted into a simple steel frame. Gravity roller conveyors can be used as a horizontal section in manufacturing or marshalling operations, or can be mounted with “fall” so that the decline angle makes use of free gravity forces to allow the product to move unassisted due to gravitational pull. They are suited to any product with a flat base such as a carton, drum or plastic tote bins.
   
Line Shaft Conveyor Systems
Line shaft conveyors operate via a single rotating shaft mounted within the conveyor body, which rotates each roller by specially designed belts connecting the rollers to the shaft. This simple conveyor style enables the system to include straight run sections, curves, junctions and transfers using a minimal amount of drive motors. It is suited to warehouse or manufacturing applications where lighter weight cartons or tote bins need to be moved, allowing for directional changes.
   
Multidirectional Roller Conveyor Systems
Multidirectional roller conveyor systems are designed to allow products to be manually transferred off production or packaging lines into junctions, and for ease of product rotation during manufacturing or inspection processes. Their unique design allows for straight line movement in a normal transport operation, while allowing the operator to move the product in any direction. It is useful in situations where a load may need to be rotated, or where it needs to be moved from one line to another during the assembly process.
   
Pallet and Drum Conveyor Systems
Pallet and drum conveyor systems are used to transport heavy items such as drums, pallets, stillages, cartons and air cargo containers, and often when stringent specifications for handling heavy loads apply. Utilising a variety of conveyor types, including gravity roller, chain, chain driven roller and belt conveyors as appropriate to the handling requirements, thereby increasing efficiency, safe handling practices by removing the human element, and also inefficiencies.
   
Powered Roller Conveyor Systems
Powered roller conveyor systems encompass all of the driven roller styles of conveyor including line shaft, chain driven roller and belt conveyors. All these conveyors are used in applications where straight transport or change of direction is required, and also provide varying forms of accumulation. The powered roller conveyor is the premium solution where a low maintenance, trouble-free storage solution is needed, allowing buffering between manufacturing cells or prior to automatic palletisers.
   
Skate Wheel Conveyor Systems
Skate wheel conveyor systems operate in a very similar way to gravity roller conveyors, but incorporate wheels instead of rollers and can be horizontal or declining. Skate wheel conveyors are economical and suitable for light to medium weight products with a flat base. This conveyor is unsuitable for drums or bagged product with an uneven base or snagging liabilities (ie. loose threads, handles, etc.).
   
Slat Chain Conveyor Systems
Slat chain conveyors are another type of chain conveyor that uses many types of interleaving segments to form a slat type chain of synthetic polymer or stainless steel construction, in low friction or friction grip styles. Slat chain conveyors are used in high wear areas, often for handling individual packets or cans in can filling or bottling operations; other food manufacturing operations; and in freight handling applications.
