There are several different merchandise moving systems available on the market. A basic transporter is a gravity conveyor. It utilizes gravity to move the product. It is most frequently used on shipping, receiving and assembly lines. It transports flat-bottom containers.
Belt conveyers are the most popular transport system. A product rides on a belt just like food at the grocery store. A moving belt system can be used for assembly operations, general transport and package handling. A more complex belt system can be used for high-speed sorting and package delivery.
Chain-driven roller systems can move items at a set rate of speed. This motor powered system can move cartons efficiently. Books are usually packed in cardboard cartons and sent along the rollers to be sealed and addressed. The chain-driven rollers come in a tabletop model. Bottles are easily filled and sealed as they pass by workstations. This conveyor was highlighted on a television commercial for the Laverne and Shirley Show. The bottles were being filled with beer and capped at a brewery in Milwaukee.
