Not all overhead conveyors are created equal
If you’ve ever wondered what the differences are between an IntelliTrak Friction Conveyor System and a traditional chain system, this should help clear things up:
In short, IntelliTrak Friction Conveyor Systems do what traditional chain conveyor can’t:
- Change processes or destinations of products on the fly
- Set up inline speed changes throughout the system
- Move carriers both forward and reverse independently
- Stop one carrier without stopping the entire system
- Easily incorporate vertical lifts and shuttles
- Have both driven and non-driven line in the same system
Plus, IntelliTrak Systems use less floor space:
For example, this originally proposed system would have required 30,150 sq. ft. of floor space.
By installing an IntelliTrak 3500 Series Conveyor System, with a shuttle, IntelliTrak was able to eliminate the large bulb turns required by chain conveyor systems, using approximately 42% less floor space.
42% less floor space!
That’s a big deal. Contact for more information on how IntelliTrak can help you do more with the space that you have.
