Conveyors - Standard Conveyor Systems

The Excel Conveyors Division has a vast ranges of standard conveyor equipment. This includes powered “live roller” conveyors, our unique Excelvayor accumulating roller conveyor system, belt conveyors, chain conveyors and trough conveyors.

The unique Excelvayor accumulating roller conveyor can be provided with roller pitches of 75mm, 100mm, 150mm and 200mm as standard. Other pitches can be produced for special applications. The Excelvayor accumulating roller conveyor system works by utilising a single belt drive. This belt passes beneath each roller pulley, power transmitted to each via tension rollers, providing a positive drive to create smooth, trouble-free conveying of such items as tote boxes, cartons and parcels. Travel speeds can run at up to 60 metres per minute. Each roller assembly has an innovative special clutch mechanism allowing drive during normal operations, but arresting the roller rotation under accumulating conditions. This gives line accumulation without undue ‘squeeze’ on the product, and removes the risk of damage or wear to the underside of the product through roller rotation. Importantly this avoids potential and costly damage.

Our Excelvayor range of roller conveyors offer the following benefits:

1. Conveyor speeds in excess of 60 metres per minute.
2. Noise levels below 65 dBa at these speeds.
3. Belt drive is totally enclosed.
4. Belt is easily replaced.
5. This type of conveyor is extremely robust, and very cost effective.
6. The equipment is reliable and requires limited maintenance.
7. A clear Perspex drive guard allows operators and maintenance staff clear sight of the whole drive mechanism. This enables drive condition monitoring, without the need for removing covers.
8. Modular construction allows a simple build programme to create the precise conveyor length.
   

Whilst Excel Conveyors have a standard range of conveyor equipment many installations are manufactured to specific heights, widths and lengths. Belt conveyors can be “belt on roller” type or “belt on slider bed” type, depending on the application.

To compliment Excel Conveyors’ range of equipment we also provide all standard ancillary conveyor equipment, such as raise and lower transfers, turntables, pneumatic stops, diverters, merges, bends etc.

Every project, large or small, is assigned a project manager who carefully monitors progress with hands on “critical path” control of your project. This gives you, our client, accurate, up to date project status - and the reassurance and knowledge that all aspects of your project with Excel Automation are monitored and controlled. Our first class team of engineers adopts the singular work cell or “task force” approach.

Our staff of highly trained technicians provides on-going inspection of work in progress to ensure compliance with the stringent design criteria. Every system is monitored in relation to performance and cost-monitoring reliability, safety, and sequencing of all the systems functions within the required cycle times.
