Custom Conveyor Designs: Solutions for Your Industrial Needs

Conveyor systems are particularly important in improving the productivity in almost all industries including manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and others. However, off the shelf, standard conveyors may not always be sufficient for every business’s needs.

That is where IDC Conveyors excels at offering you custom conveyor designs that are made to fit your needs. Our design team collaborate closely with the customer from the project start to finish to ensure that you get the best possible product at the end.

Here at IDC Conveyors, we pride ourselves in offering you conveyor systems that are in harmony with your business goals. If you have space restrictions, gentle handling of the products, or high-level productivity, our modular conveyor systems enhance your operations, improve your productivity and overall effectiveness.

Here’s why you may need a custom conveyor for your business.

What Are Custom Conveyor Systems?

IDC Conveyors offers you custom conveyor systems that were especially created for your production process. We are different from other companies as we take time to analyse your production process, the available space and the desired output to ensure that the system we design is suitable for your plant. When you have certain product types, particular product handling or space issues, we design systems that are well integrated into your facility.

Benefits of Custom Conveyor Systems:

Optimised Efficiency: This is created by a bespoke conveyor system design and leads to increased productivity, fewer stops, blockages and shorter production time.

Space Efficiency: IDC Conveyors create space saving designs that can help you use your floor space to the fullest without compromising on the flow.

Enhanced Safety: Our designs include industry leading safety elements such as emergency stop buttons or cables, speed controllers, crush bars and safety beams that are designed to meet your specific needs.

Scalability and Flexibility: IDC Conveyors offers solutions that can grow along with your business and are designed in such a way that can be modified as your needs change. This offers a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for future expansion of your system.

Better Integration: IDC Conveyors or conveyor systems, integrate well with other machinery in your facility including, scanners, robotic systems, packaging equipment, scales and sensors to suit your current installation.

Gentle Product Handling: For instance, if you are managing delicate or breakable goods, our conveyors are designed to move the goods without forcing them or causing any damage to the goods.

Drawbacks to Consider:

Higher Initial Cost: While it is more expensive to develop custom designs than it is to buy standard conveyors, the long-term gains in production and quality are often justified by the cost.

Longer Lead Time: Custom conveyors are designed and built bespoke to your requirements, which means that it can take time to do so with longer design lead times. It is important to factor in this time for time critical applications.

Specialised Maintenance: Since the system is rather unique in its design, maintenance could be more complicated, but IDC Conveyors provides regular services to keep your system in peak condition.

Risk of Over-Engineering: Over simplifying or over complicating a design may lead to an increase in cost. At IDC Conveyors we aim to provide solutions that are practical and value for money tailored to the customers’ requirements.

Are Custom Conveyors Worth It? If your business has specific requirements in terms of handling, space or integration of additional equipment, then a custom conveyor from IDC Conveyors could be the answer. Although the initial cost may be higher, the long-term benefits of better efficiency, superior product handling and better integration are often well worth it for companies with complex operational issues.
