Dematic conveyor systems offer the highest standard in quality and reliable performance. Each day Dematic conveyor systems transport millions of cartons, cases, boxes and totes in distribution centers and factories throughout the world. Dematic continues to lead the way in conveyor technology with the broadest range of solutions and a reputation for delivering cost-effective systems that give years of reliable service in large or small applications.
Dematic conveyors offer more than just transportation
Dematic’s market leading range conveyors offer more than just transportation. Our conveyors join processes together and deliver and take away goods - automatically and on cue. They can store goods until the next person or machine needs them, sort or merge them intelligently, and can facilitate a number of functions that add value to products, such as packing and weighing.
Conveyors of various types such as belts, rollers, wheels and chains, suit different kinds of applications. They can convey horizontally, vertically, around corners, incline and decline. Usually they are electrically driven, but often gravity - a cheap source of power - can play a crucial part as well.
One of the simplest and most widely used conveyors is a belt sliding on a sheet metal bed; called a ‘slider bed’. This is fine for most cartons and many other types of loads. But as loads increase so does friction and, eventually, a powered roller conveyor may be the preferred option, depending on the application.
Heavier loads, like pallets, can be carried on chains sliding in channeled tracks. If goods have to be merged, diverted, or accumulated, a powered roller conveyor is usually best. If cartons or totes have to be pushed onto or off the conveyor, they slide sideways better on rollers than belts or wheels.
Innovative, cost-effective conveyor systems
Dematic began designing and building conveyor systems more than 70 years ago under the Rapistan brand. Since then, we have pioneered many industry developments, including the first accumulation conveyor. We provide all types of conveyors for assembly, manufacturing and distribution applications.
With extensive R&D resources, Dematic’s engineers continue to lead the way in conveyor technology — offering the broadest range of solutions available. Whether you need a simple gravity conveyor, or a sophisticated computer-controlled system, Dematic delivers cost-effective conveyor systems that give years of reliable service.
