End-of-line conveyors
End-of-line conveyors for packing and final product handling.
Move finished packs from primary packaging into inspection, coding, accumulation, case packing, manual packing or dispatch preparation.

Buyer focus
Choose the conveyor around the product, not just the available space.
The end of the line needs enough product flow for operators and packing equipment without creating bottlenecks. Conveyor design affects packing speed, inspection access and safe manual handling.
For the clearest advice, share the pack format, production speed, available floor space and the machines before and after the conveyor. That makes it easier to confirm whether a straight, curved, incline, infeed, outfeed or accumulation route is the right starting point.
Options to compare
- Belt conveyors for finished packs and cartons
- Accumulation conveyors for short-term buffer
- Inspection and packing tables
- Curved conveyors where the packing area is offset
Information to send
- Final pack format and weight
- Packing method: manual, semi-automatic or automatic
- Operator access and packing bench layout
- Reject, inspection and coding requirements
- Discharge height and downstream handling method
Layout planning
Check these four points before finalising the conveyor design.
Small details at the planning stage can prevent jams, unstable transfers and operator access problems once the line is running.
Start with the product
Confirm size, weight, base shape and stability before choosing the conveyor route.
Check the machines
Match conveyor height, speed and transfer direction to the equipment on either side.
Allow for operators
Keep access for loading, cleaning, adjustment, inspection and safe day-to-day use.
Plan the buffer
Decide whether the line needs accumulation to protect output during short stops.

Common questions
Clear answers for buyers comparing conveyor options and preparing an enquiry.
What is an end-of-line conveyor?
It is the conveyor route that moves products after the main filling, capping, labelling or coding stages into inspection, accumulation, packing or dispatch preparation.
Can conveyors support manual packing?
Yes. Conveyor height, speed, reach and access can be planned around operators so products are presented sensibly for manual packing.
Do end-of-line conveyors need variable speed?
Variable speed is often useful because final packing speed can differ from the upstream machine rate.
