Product Description
Astec UK Conveyor Systems:
Astec UK Conveyors Systems are very often involved at the concept stage of the project, helping our customer with system layouts and sourcing of third party equipment for the overall contract. As well as giving technical guidance with respect to the line philosophies to ensure maximum efficiencies on the conveyor system, we are familiar with the strict hygiene requirements which are necessary when supplying equipment and conveyor systems for the food, drink, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Additionally, we are recognised as a market leader for bespoke conveyor systems for the parcel sortation, distribution and warehousing sectors.
Astec Conveyors have specialist engineers who will attend site and design the most economic route for the conveyor system and provide full layout and installation drawings. We also offer our expertise if the customer requires mezzanine floors or operator access platforms, fire doors or interfacing with fire alarm systems as part of the case conveyor system integration.

Spiral Conveyor Systems - UK Pallet Conveyors:
Astec Conveyors provide a space saving range of spiral conveyors providing continuous, smooth vertical transfer of product (in either direction) from upper and lower levels. The spiral conveyors offers an extremely small footprint compared to a conventional belt conveyor.
Spiral conveyors are available in mild steel (painted to a standard RAL colour of your choice) or food quality stainless steel. These versatile conveyors will transport cartons, fresh produce, sacks, cases, tote bins, shrink-wrapped goods, bundles, single cans and bottles.
The transport medium is a low friction chain supported by `sealed for life` bearings riding on a polyurethane guide surface. This allows for smooth, safe, high speed operation coupled with the benefits of an extremely low noise level and a long, trouble free life.
The spiral conveyors standard load capacity is 50kg per metre, an incline angle of between 8-11 degrees (which safeguards against loads slipping) and up to a maximum standard speed of 60m per minute. Widths are between 200mm - 650mm and a twin lane machine (independently controlled lanes) is also available.
No complex controls are required as the spiral conveyor system utilises an industry standard SEW braked motor.
Case Conveyor Systems - UK Conveyor Systems:
Astec Conveyor Systems are market leaders in the design and manufacture of case conveyor systems and as such, can supply a variety of different types of case conveyors in a number of widths and speeds, from simple lineshaft conveyor with all associated components such as 30, 45, 60 and 90 degree true taper roller bends (to ensure the product orientation is maintained), to high speed Zero Line Pressure (ZLP) systems to avoid product contact during accumulation.
Additional equipment supplied with the case conveyor system could be items such as right angled transfers, merge units, divert units, blade stops, line brakes, product inverters and twisters. All conveyor designs can be constructed from mild steel (painted to a standard RAL colour of your choice) or S304 or S316 grade stainless steel.
