Conveyor types for packaging lines

Conveyors connect and integrate the individual machines on a packaging line — transferring products between fillers, cappers, labellers, cartoners, case packers, and palletisers at the correct speed and orientation. Belt conveyors: a continuous flat or modular belt driven by a motor; the most versatile and widely used conveyor for general packaging line applications; flat-top rubber or PVC belts for cartons, pouches, and bagged products; modular plastic belt (interlocking plastic modules) for food applications requiring wash-down cleaning; suitable for horizontal and incline/decline runs. Slat chain conveyors: a conveyor made of flat metal or plastic slats mounted on a chain; the standard for bottle and can conveyors in beverage production; stainless steel slat chains for wash-down food and beverage environments; allows products to accumulate (live accumulation) and buffer between machines without product damage. Roller conveyors: unpowered (gravity) or powered rollers carry products; for cases, totes, and heavy cartons in warehouse and distribution; powered roller conveyors with individually controlled zones (ZPA — zone pressure accumulation) allow smart accumulation without product-to-product contact. Air (air-jet, air-blow) conveyors: a single-file conveyor that carries empty PET bottles or cans by directing air jets against the bottle neck ring or can flange, suspending and propelling the containers; standard for high-speed empty container conveyance in beverage lines at speeds up to 90,000+ bottles per hour; requires no physical contact with the bottle body, preventing contamination. Spiral conveyors (vertical helical conveyor): a helix-shaped belt conveyor that elevates or lowers products continuously in a small footprint; used when line height changes require a continuous, high-throughput vertical transfer (e.g. elevating cartons from a ground-floor filling line to a mezzanine level case packer). Accumulation conveyors: conveyors that allow products to accumulate or buffer between machines — essential to absorb speed differences and downtime between upstream and downstream machines; mass accumulation tables (rotary tables) and linear accumulation lanes are both used.

Frequently asked questions

What conveyor is best for PET bottles in a beverage line?

For filled and capped PET bottles moving between machines in a beverage line, slat chain conveyors (stainless steel or plastic slat on a chain) are the standard. The flat-topped slat allows bottles to stand upright, accumulate without tipping, and be guided by adjustable lane guides. For empty PET bottles before filling, air conveyors are standard at high speeds — they carry bottles by the neck ring without touching the body, preventing contamination and enabling very high speeds. For orientation or handling of empty PET preforms, dedicated conveyor types (bucket conveyors, vibratory feeders) are used upstream of the blow moulding machine.

How do I calculate the required conveyor speed?

Conveyor speed is calculated from the product dimensions and the required throughput rate: conveyor speed (m/min) = product length (m) × throughput (products per minute) × spacing factor. For single-file conveyance with 50% gap between products: conveyor speed = product length × throughput × 2. Example: a 200mm long carton at 60 cartons per minute requires a conveyor speed of 0.2m × 60 × 2 = 24 m/min. For mass flow (unspaced) conveyance, the conveyor speed = product length × throughput. The conveyor supplier's system designer should verify the calculation against the specific product geometry and machine layout.

What is a motorised roller conveyor and when is it used?

A motorised roller conveyor uses powered rollers (either motor-in-roller or externally motor-driven rollers) to carry products along the conveyor surface. Unlike a belt conveyor, the drive is distributed along the roller conveyor length. Zone pressure accumulation (ZPA) motorised roller conveyors use independently controlled zones — each zone activates only when a product is present and stops when a product is waiting, preventing product-to-product contact during accumulation. ZPA roller conveyors are standard in carton, tote, and case handling in warehouses, distribution centres, and pallet-level operations. They are less common in high-speed primary packaging lines (where belt and slat chain conveyors are preferred) but are widely used in secondary packaging and end-of-line applications.
