When it comes to improving workflow, optimizing throughput, and ensuring product movement with minimal downtime, a well-executed conveyor system setup is critical. Whether you’re expanding a production line, upgrading aging infrastructure, or installing an entirely new system, precision matters, especially with belt, roller, and overhead conveyors.

At APS Industrial Services, our skilled millwrights specialize in the design, layout, and installation of complex conveyor systems tailored to the unique needs of your facility. From heavy-duty roller conveyors to elevated overhead tracks, we provide turnkey installation services that keep your operation moving forward.

Why Conveyor System Setup Matters

A poorly installed conveyor doesn’t just underperform since it can also become a safety hazard, drive up maintenance costs, and cause bottlenecks across your entire production floor. According to industry estimates:

Conveyor downtime can cost facilities up to $10,000 per hour in lost productivity and labor delays.

Proper layout, leveling, tensioning, and alignment ensures long-term system efficiency, reduced wear, and maximum return on investment.

Conveyor Types We Install and Optimize

1. Belt Conveyor Systems

Belt conveyors are ideal for moving materials over long distances with consistent speed and control. They’re widely used in:

• Packaging and distribution centers

• Food and beverage manufacturing

• General material handling

APS ensures:

• Proper tensioning and tracking

• Pulley alignment and motor integration

• Skirt board and loading zone setup

• Drive system calibration

2. Roller Conveyor Systems

Roller conveyors, powered or gravity-fed, are crucial in high-volume environments for material accumulation and transfer.

We install:

• Chain-driven live rollers (CDLR)

• Line shaft roller conveyors

• Gravity conveyors

• Zone control and zero-pressure systems

Installation focus areas include:

• Frame leveling and anchoring

• Accurate slope for gravity feeds

• Integrating sensors, brakes, and sortation modules

3. Overhead Conveyor Systems

Overhead conveyors free up valuable floor space and allow for continuous movement of parts, garments, or components through complex paths.

Ideal for:

• Automotive assembly

• Paint lines

• Laundry services

• Warehousing automation

Our team handles:

• Structural mounting and support installation

• Load calculations and bracket placement

• Chain and trolley alignment

• Safety guarding and drop prevention systems
