Moving products within your company is no small job. Especially when you work with bulk or bulk goods. Internal transport equipment is the backbone of any manufacturing company. They are essential for streamlining your production and distribution processes. Are you optimizing your internal logistics? Then you will ensure a more efficient and safer production process. We would be happy to tell you which internal transport means help you achieve this.
4 types of internal transport equipment
Do you have a manufacturing business where you work with bulk goods? Then these four types of internal transport equipment are best suited for moving your goods:
Conveyors
Conveyors are the silent force of your business. They move your products smoothly and quickly from the field to your factory and from your plant to storage silos. A well-designed conveyor system ensures that every bit of product reaches its destination without delay.
Not only are conveyor belts a tool for efficiency, they are also an investment in optimizing your business processes. They increase production speed and improve your organization’s workflow. With the right conveyors in the right place, you are guaranteed smoother, faster and more cost-effective material handling.
Every production process is unique. That is why at Meyland you will find customized conveyors that take into account specific parameters such as the desired flow rate, the distances to be covered and the characteristics of your goods.
Meyland offers a range of conveyors ranging from trough and flat belts to slat conveyors. Whether you need a conveyor that is miles long, or one that needs to operate at great heights, Meyland has the expertise and experience to provide a customized solution.
Chain conveyors
A chain conveyor is an enclosed system that allows you to efficiently and safely move dry products in an industrial setting. These internal conveyors are very suitable for powders, granulates, wood waste or other fine goods.
Chain conveyors can handle a variety of materials. They are not only robust, but also flexible in their application. More importantly, chain conveyors offer significant safety benefits. Features such as explosion shutters and fire and explosion suppression systems provide additional security.
A well-designed chain conveyor system takes into account the specific needs of your production. It can function as an independent system or be integrated with other conveying systems such as elevators and conveyors.
Meyland’s range includes different types of chain conveyors, each designed for specific applications and requirements. Whether it is standard chain conveyors or specialized systems for unique products, at Meyland you are guaranteed to find a solution that fits your needs.
Transport screws
Archimedes left a lasting impact on the industrial world with his screw conveyor . This ingenious invention is still an essential part of modern production systems today, thousands of years later. Thanks to its ability to move bulk goods efficiently, screw conveyors remain a popular solution in a variety of industries.
Conveyor screws are remarkably versatile. They can function independently or be integrated into a more comprehensive conveyor system along with components such as conveyors and elevators. There are various types of screws, such as trough and tube screws, cooling screws and more. With screw diameters ranging from 50 to 1000 mm, there is a suitable screw for every production process.
At Meyland, we offer a wide range of options, both custom and standard solutions, to meet your unique needs. Whether you need small metering screws or rugged high-flow conveying screws, we design them all with a keen eye for detail and quality.
The material used for the screws depends on the nature of the bulk goods you want to move. You have a choice between plain steel, stainless or wear-resistant steel, with the option of additional durable protective coatings or armor plates for specific applications.
Elevators
Vertical transport often poses a challenge for manufacturing companies. The solution? An elevator. Elevators not only offer a fast and space-saving method of moving bulk goods, but also contribute to a safer work environment and increased productivity.
The benefits of using elevators in a production environment are significant. They increase efficiency, lifting goods to higher levels effortlessly and quickly. This, in turn, leads to time savings. In addition, the space-saving properties of elevators are a bonus. This leaves more space for other production activities.
Safety is another crucial factor. Meyland’s elevators are equipped with the latest safety technologies. They are equipped with sensors that detect potentially dangerous situations, but you can also choose additional options such as fire extinguishing and explosion suppression systems.
Our expertise in elevators goes beyond simply providing a standard product. We offer customized solutions, from classic cup elevators to cup elevators with round residual base, to meet your company’s needs. The goal is to create smooth and optimized internal transport , even in complex multi-level environments.
What material handling equipment is right for my business?
If you are looking for internal transport equipment for your business, there are numerous solutions. If you need to move bulk goods horizontally, conveyors are an excellent choice due to their ability to efficiently transport materials such as sand and fertilizer. For transporting dry materials, chain conveyors offer a closed system that ensures product purity.
Conveyors or screws from Archimedes are ideal for products such as animal feed and wood pellets. And when vertical transport is a priority, especially in a multi-level manufacturing environment, elevators from Meyland are the go-to solution. With them, you transport goods upward efficiently and safely.
Your specific needs, the nature of the goods and your company’s infrastructure will determine which means of transport or combination of means is most suitable. Meyland will be happy to provide you with personalized advice for the construction and installation of your internal transport chain.
