Product conveying & handling general
In order to treat products, they are transported through the plant using a conveyor system. The correct design of the product transportation system can be of great importance for the total profitability of the coating facility and possibly even the entire production unit. For a correct design of the transportation system, several criteria are of importance like the optimum conveyor loading, logistics, manner of production operation and so on. Suppliers of conveyor systems have knowledge and experience and nowadays often good simulation methods that a client may use.
For coating lines, the conveyor system may consist of:
- Overhead conveyor systems.

- Electric monorail systems.
- Floor conveyors.
- Roller conveyors.
- Ball roller conveyors.
- Drop sections
- Lifting tables.
