Industries

Every industry moves product differently, and this archive shows how conveyor and automation systems are adapted to each one. These pages set out the hygiene standards, throughput, handling and layout constraints that shape a system in a given sector, together with the equipment that usually suits it best.

Regulated environments make the strictest demands. Pharmaceutical production and medical device manufacturing call for washdown rated stainless steel, validated documentation and genuinely gentle handling, while bakery, beverage, fruit and vegetable, fish, animal feed and wider FMCG plants need conveyors that survive daily cleaning at high duty cycles. In electronics, optical lens handling and injection moulding the priority shifts again, towards precise indexing, static control and careful transfer of small or fragile parts.

Logistics and e-commerce operations bring a different problem: high volumes, mixed case sizes and constant sortation. Alongside the sector pages you will find technical explainers on accumulation, conveyor indexing and first in first out systems, which are the underlying techniques that make those lines behave predictably at speed.

Use these pages to see how a plant with similar constraints solved the same problem, then look at the conveyors and handling equipment behind each application. If your process does not fit neatly into one of these sectors, that is normal. Most of the systems we build are adapted rather than taken off a shelf, and our engineers will design around whatever your product and site require.
