Flexible Conveyors That Go Where the Work Is

A fixed conveyor is ideal when goods always follow the same route. But in many warehouses the work moves around: a delivery to unload at one door, a packing line that only runs at peak, a despatch area that changes from day to day. Flexible conveyors are built for exactly that.

Mounted on castors with expanding lattice side frames, a flexible conveyor can be wheeled out, extended in a straight line or bent around corners and obstacles, and positioned in minutes. When you have finished, simply close the unit up and store it out of the way, freeing the floor space for something else.

KB Packaging supplies the Expandaveyor range of flexible conveyors, manufactured in Britain by Ocon Conveyors.

Why Choose a Flexible Conveyor?

• Mobile – wheel it to wherever it is needed
• Extendable – stretch it out to suit the job, then close it up to store
• Bends around corners – lattice side frames allow curves and even tight bends
• Quick to set up – positioned and ready to use in minutes
• Saves space – takes up very little room when closed
• Versatile – use on its own or to extend an existing conveyor line

Rollers or Skatewheels?

Flexible conveyors are available with either rollers or skatewheels, in plastic or steel, so all types of goods can be accommodated.

• Skatewheels – low inertia wheels that turn freely, well suited to cartons and other flat-bottomed items
• Rollers – full-width support for a wider variety of goods, including items with less regular bases
• Plastic (PVC) – lightweight and a practical choice for general carton handling
• Steel (BZP) – bright zinc plated steel for a harder-wearing finish

Mild steel and stainless steel bearings are available to suit your environment.

Loading and Unloading Containers?

Flexible conveyors are often used for loading and unloading vehicles. If you regularly handle containers or trailers, a purpose-made telescopic conveyor is usually the better option. Take a look at our vehicle loading and unloading conveyors, or ask our team which would suit your site.
