Conveyor Indexing
An indexing conveyor moves product in measured steps rather than a continuous flow. It advances, stops, holds the product still while something happens to it, then advances again. That pause is the whole point: it gives a camera, a label applicator, a filling head, a robot or an operator a stationary target to work on. […]
Accumulation Conveyors
Accumulation is what lets a conveyor absorb the difference between the machine feeding it and the machine taking product away. Without it, every pause downstream stops everything upstream. With it, product gathers in a controlled way at a known point and the rest of the line keeps running. This page covers what accumulation is, where […]
Pharmaceutical Conveyor Systems
Pharmaceutical production puts conflicting demands on a conveyor. Product is small, light and easily damaged; the room it runs in may be controlled; the line has to be documented and repeatable; and there is rarely any floor space to give it. LVP Automation builds conveyor systems for pharmaceutical and medical drug manufacturing, from single knife-edge […]
Medical Device Conveyors
Medical device manufacturing asks a conveyor to do two things at once: handle product gently enough not to damage it, and do so in an environment where cleanliness and traceability are part of the specification rather than a preference. LVP Automation builds conveyor systems for medical device production, from accumulation at the end of a […]
Injection Moulding Automation & Conveyors
Injection moulding is a process that does not stop, and the handling around it has to keep up. Parts leave the machine warm and often delicate, they have to be moved without marking or snagging, and increasingly the process itself has to be measured rather than assumed. LVP Automation builds conveyor systems and automation for […]
Beverage Conveyor Systems
Beverage production is wet, heavy and rarely blessed with spare floor space. Product arrives in glass and plastic, lines get washed down constantly, some of what is being made is acidic enough to attack the equipment carrying it, and the height between process and packing usually has to be gained in a footprint that does […]
Oriental Motor Applications
Most of what a conveyor does well or badly comes back to the motor and how it is controlled. LVP Automation has standardised on Oriental Motor drives across much of our own equipment, and we specify, programme and commission them for customers as well as fitting them. The two below are the ones we use […]
Optical Lens Handling Conveyors
Optical lens manufacturing is precision work with fragile product. Lenses move through cutting, bevelling and finishing in trays, and every handling step is another chance to scratch one or present it to a machine the wrong way round. LVP Automation builds tray handling lines for lens production, feeding finishing machines and taking work away from […]
Logistics & E-commerce Conveyors
Distribution centres live or die on flow. Product has to reach a picker, a packer and a despatch lane in the right order, and the empties have to get back without blocking the aisle they came down. LVP Automation builds conveyor and sortation systems for logistics and e-commerce operations, generally into buildings that are already […]
Fruit & Vegetable Conveyors
Fruit and vegetable processing puts glass, water and sticky product on the same line. Jars have to stay upright and unmarked through washing and filling, floors and frames get wet, and the product itself is sugary enough to find every gap it can. LVP Automation builds stainless steel conveyor systems for preserves and produce lines, […]
