Conveyor Technology

Kanya’s advanced conveyor technology brings a range of benefits to your operations. By automating material transport, it enhances efficiency and boosts productivity. Conveyor belts and other conveying systems help streamline workflows, accelerating processes while reducing manual labour.

There is a wide range of conveyor technologies, including belt conveyors, roller conveyors, and toothed belt conveyors. Belt conveyors are highly versatile, ideal for transporting bulk materials or irregularly shaped items over long distances with minimal spillage. Roller conveyors, are well-suited for handling rigid, uniform loads like boxes and pallets. Toothed belt conveyors offer precise positioning and synchronised movement, making them ideal for automated production lines.

How to Make the Right Choice for Your Conveyor Belt

When choosing a conveyor belt, you should consider specific aspects:

  • Material Type: The belt material should be chosen based on the type of products it will transport. For example, food-grade conveyor belts are essential for food processing industries, while heavy-duty rubber belts are better suited for mining or construction applications.
  • Belt Width and Length: The dimensions of the belt must align with your workspace and operational needs. A wider belt may be necessary for transporting bulky items, whereas a longer belt may be needed for large-scale production lines.
  • Load Capacity: The weight and volume of materials the belt will handle is essential to understand, to prevent strain on the system and ensure smooth operations.
