Should I buy a custom conveyor, or a pre-built one?
Sometimes in life, you’re able to just go to the store to buy the perfect part you need for your DIY project. Other times, no matter how hard you scour stores both online and in person, that very same part eludes you. Sure, you COULD use a “good enough” replacement part, but it might fail quicker or run less efficiently than if you found the perfect fit.
What are Alpine Conveyors, and how can they help you?
Alpine conveyors are a stacking conveyor system whose shape almost resembles a snowy mountain. Their spiral shape allows them to fulfill many different purposes when it comes to manufacturing, but most importantly, they provide compact and efficient vertical mobility. Products are able to climb or descend the conveyor, which is able to only take up a small area, especially when compared to a traditional conveyor ramp. Each oval on the Alpine Conveyor has its own potential for customizability. With their compact size and various uses, an Alpine Conveyor might just be the right tool to fit your manufacturing arsenal!
