An intralogistics conveyor network is really two separate specs layered together — lightweight (unit-level) and heavyweight (pallet-level) — each with its own capacity range, and the transition point between them is a real design decision, not an afterthought.
Lightweight Conveyors
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Weight capacity | 2–100 kg per unit |
| Material | Mild steel / stainless steel |
| Dimensions | Fully customizable to plant layout |
| Speed | 300 mm/sec (customizable) |
Available types: modular conveyor (curved sections available), belt conveyor (flat or inclined), roller conveyor (gravity or powered), turn conveyor (90° direction change), cross-transfer conveyor (multi-line merging/diverting).
This class typically covers the route from filling or packing stations through checkweighing, metal detection, or X-ray inspection — wherever product is still moving as individual bags, cartons, or units.
Heavyweight Conveyors
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Weight capacity | 1,000–2,000 kg per pallet |
| Material | Mild steel / stainless steel |
| Pallet dimension | 1,200 × 1,000mm (customizable) |
| Speed | Up to 25 m/min |
Available types: chain conveyor (double-strand drive), roller conveyor (powered or gravity), turntable conveyor (90° pallet rotation), pop-up conveyor (cross-transfer lifting), rail guided vehicle (RGV) for automated shuttling.
This class covers palletized product from the palletizer through wrapping and out to dispatch or warehouse storage.
Where the Transition Happens
The switch from lightweight to heavyweight conveying happens at the palletizer — product arrives at the palletizer as individual units on lightweight conveying and leaves as a loaded pallet on heavyweight conveying. Getting this handoff point right in the layout design avoids a mismatch where either class is under- or over-specified relative to what's actually moving through it at that stage.
Construction Materials
Both classes are available in mild steel or stainless steel — the choice driven by your product's hygiene and corrosion exposure requirements rather than by weight class. A food-grade line may need stainless steel across both lightweight and heavyweight sections; a general industrial line may run mild steel throughout.
Speed and Layout Are Interdependent
Speed specifications (300 mm/sec lightweight, up to 25 m/min heavyweight) are starting points, not fixed values — actual line speed needs to match your production rate end to end. A conveyor network running faster than the palletizer or wrapper it feeds just creates a queuing point instead of solving the flow problem; running slower creates a bottleneck of its own.
What to Send With Your Enquiry
A complete intralogistics conveyor spec starts with: your full production sequence from last production station to dispatch, product/pallet dimensions and weights at each stage, required line speed matched to your actual production rate, building layout and available floor space, and any hygiene or corrosion requirements. Review the full Intralogistics Conveyor specification range before finalising your end-of-line flow.
