Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems are among the most critical mechanical solutions that form the backbone of production, transportation, and intralogistics processes in modern industrial facilities. From raw materials to semi-finished goods, from finished products to shipment, all material movements within a facility are carried out quickly, safely, and in a controlled manner through properly designed and professionally implemented conveyor systems.
In today’s industrial world, companies must increase production speed, reduce labor costs, lower error rates, and make their processes more traceable. While manual handling methods fall short of meeting these expectations, conveyor systems integrated with automation provide businesses with a significant competitive advantage.
As Körfeztek Teknoloji, we consider conveyor systems not merely as transportation equipment, but as a strategic solution area that optimizes production and intralogistics processes. By combining mechanical manufacturing, automation, software, and project management disciplines, we offer customized, long-lasting, and high-performance conveyor solutions tailored to each business.
The Importance of Conveyor Systems in Industry
Conveyor systems are fundamental structures that ensure continuity in production processes. Even a minor disruption in material handling along the production line can lead to downtime, quality losses, and serious costs. For this reason, conveyor systems are not just auxiliary equipment but an integral part of production.
The main contributions of conveyor systems to industrial facilities are as follows:
Continuity in production and transportation processes
Controlled material flow
Reduced labor requirements
Minimized human-related errors and accidents
Increased production speed and efficiency
Organized intralogistics processes
These contributions make conveyor systems indispensable across many industries.
Application Areas of Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems have a very wide range of industrial applications. Designed specifically according to the needs of different sectors, these systems play a role in many processes from production to storage.
Main application areas include:
Automotive and automotive sub-industry
Food and beverage production
Pharmaceutical and packaging facilities
Iron & steel and heavy industry
Cable, plastics, and chemical plants
Logistics and intralogistics centers
Solar energy and panel production lines
Each sector requires customized conveyor solutions due to its unique material characteristics, speed, and hygiene requirements.
Main Components of Conveyor Systems
The performance of a conveyor system depends not only on the conveying element but on the harmonious operation of all components.
Conveying Structure and Frame
The supporting structure of conveyor systems is designed considering load capacity, speed, and environmental conditions. Steel, stainless steel, or aluminum constructions may be preferred.
Conveying Element
Conveying elements such as belts, rollers, chains, or modular pallets are selected according to the characteristics of the transported product.
Drive and Transmission Systems
Motors, gearboxes, and transmission elements determine the speed and load capacity of the conveyor. Energy efficiency is of great importance at this stage.
Support and Guide Elements
Side guides and support elements that ensure product stability increase transport safety.
Types of Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems are designed in different types according to the structure of the material to be transported and process requirements.
Belt Conveyor Systems
The most commonly used conveyor type. Preferred for transporting boxes, packages, bulk materials, and lightweight products.
Roller Conveyor Systems
Used for transporting boxes, crates, and pallets. They can be designed as gravity-driven or motorized systems.
Chain Conveyor Systems
Preferred for transporting heavy loads and palletized products. They stand out in heavy industry applications with their robust structures.
Modular Belt Conveyors
Widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries where hygiene requirements are high. Their easy-to-clean structures offer an advantage.
Special Purpose Conveyors
Special solutions such as vertical conveyors, inclined systems, and transfer units are designed according to specific processes.
The Role of Automation in Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems achieve true efficiency when integrated with automation solutions. Sensors, PLC systems, and software make material flow intelligent.
Advantages provided by automation integration:
Product detection and routing
Speed and capacity control
Automatic stopping and safety scenarios
Synchronization between lines
Data collection and reporting
Körfeztek Teknoloji designs conveyor systems together with automation infrastructure to deliver maximum performance.
Intralogistics and Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems are at the core of intralogistics processes. All flows from warehouse entry to production lines, from packaging to shipment, are managed through these systems.
With properly designed intralogistics conveyor solutions:
Transport times are reduced
Stock and product flow are organized
Space utilization is optimized
Operational efficiency is increased
Energy Efficiency and Conveyor Design
Conveyor systems are equipment that operate continuously over long periods. Therefore, energy efficiency directly affects total operating costs.
In energy-efficient conveyor design, the following are prioritized:
Correct motor and gearbox selection
Load and speed optimization
Designs that reduce friction and losses
Smart control systems
Occupational Health and Safety
When poorly designed, conveyor systems can pose serious occupational safety risks. Körfeztek Teknoloji considers occupational safety as a fundamental criterion in its conveyor solutions.
Within this scope:
Emergency stop systems
Protective guards
Sensors and safety switches
Ergonomic access areas
are integrated into the design.
Hygiene and Special Sector Requirements
Conveyor systems used in the food and pharmaceutical industries have special hygiene and cleaning requirements. Stainless steel structures, open-profile designs, and easy-to-clean belts are preferred for these sectors.
Flexible and Modular Conveyor Systems
Production facilities grow and change over time. Therefore, having modular and scalable conveyor systems provides a significant advantage.
With modular conveyor solutions:
Line expansions become easier
New production processes are integrated into the system
Investment costs are optimized
