Case Handling Conveyors
Bevco Case Conveyors transport empty or full cases/boxes of product along the production line with maximum efficiency and reliability. Our Case Conveyors are built with the mat top chain style which is customized based on the application. We can employ solid top, perforated top, low back pressure, friction top, etc. chains at various widths to suit your specific needs.
Bevco also produces different types of case handling machineries:
- Bevco Laner indexes cases and distributes them into various lanes
- Bevco Bump Turner will turn a case to change its orientation while traveling along the conveyor system. It is often used after cans are packaged into 6 or 8 packs in a Hi-cone or Paktec applicator or Cartoner. Rotating the cases is necessary for feeding the cans in the correct orientation into a secondary packaging machine such as a tray former/tray packer
- Bevco Case Turner uses two chains moving at different speeds to rotate a package by the required number of degrees. The speeds of the chains can be adjusted to rotate the package by any amount (ex 90°, 180°, 270°, 720°)
- Bevco Case Pusher will push a case off the side of the conveyor perpendicular to the flow direction
