Palletized conveyors are modular systems that use pallets, or trays, to carry parts from one station to the next for machining or assembly applications. Pallets on a conveyor can take on several shapes or sizes depending on their specific application. Typically, pallets are small containers or other holding devices that are attached directly to a conveyor through pre-engineered holes on a conveyor belt. There are several types of palletized conveyors. Examples include chain conveyors, screw conveyor, and a pallet mat conveyor. Cleated chain conveyors include a universal, accumulation roller, and roller cleat for application flexibility. A screw conveyor moves material by a rotating the screw and pushes or pulls the material along the bottom and sides of the conveyor housing. A screw conveyor also helps in shearing the material in the radial clearance between the screw and conveyor housing and causes the material to tumble upon itself by the rotating. A pallet conveyor has continuous slider pans that fully support a conveyor belt, a pallet conveyor also has a continuous surface that eliminates the damage to plastic pallets which often separate. A conveyor roller is used for horizontal conveying of items with transfers, side loading, unloading, or temporary accumulation requirements. A palletized conveyor customized system integration allows components in line to operate as one system and ensure top productivity and maximum throughput. Other palletized conveyors are also commonly available.

Palletized conveyors systems are controlled by electrical panels with parts accurately fixtured on pallets and can be used for many operations. Palletizing conveyor systems are equipped with heavy wall extrusion design, lift-off track covers, and stopping mechanisms. Palletizing conveyor systems also include plug-in elevators, pallet identification, and soft start variable frequency drive systems. A palletizing system provides flexibility and high reliability. Palletized conveyor lift-off track covers are used for easy access to control devices and hardware. Pallet presses drives down to the level of rollers, ensuring that the weight of pallet is evenly distributed and the item being conveyed is constantly in contact with the pallet drives during transport. Palletized conveyors utilize a shaft-mounted reducer/motor with square shaft and metal tooth sprockets. A conveyor roller can be used to carry light and medium weight packages in temporary or permanent installations. A screw conveyor uses 4 1/2inch (115mm), 6 inch (150mm), and 8 inch (200mm) diameter screw/tube combinations, which increases the capacity of the conveyor more than 10 times. A conveyor system with a 3,000 lb weight standard capacity provides standard speeds from 30–90 fpm. Palletized conveyors are designed and manufactured to meet most industry specifications.
