Jar and tub conveyors
Conveyors for jars, tubs, pots and rigid containers.
Move jars, tubs and pots through filling, sealing, capping, labelling, coding and packing with enough support for stable product movement.

Buyer focus
Choose the conveyor around the product, not just the available space.
Jars and tubs can be stable but still sensitive to transfer gaps, lid overhang, label presentation and operator handling. Conveyor width and guide settings should match the full pack range.
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 tubs, pots and cartons
- Slat chain conveyors for round jars and containers
- Accumulation before packing or inspection
- Guide rails and transfer sections sized to the pack range
Information to send
- Diameter, height, base shape and filled weight
- Lid type and whether there is overhang
- Whether packs are wet, hot, cold or fragile
- Machine heights and transfer points
- Packing method and operator access
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.
Are belt conveyors suitable for tubs?
Often yes, when the tub base is stable and the transfer points are designed around the product size and weight.
What conveyor suits round jars?
Slat chain or belt conveyors may both suit round jars depending on speed, stability, transfer points and the connected machines.
Can jars and tubs run on the same conveyor?
Sometimes, but the width, guide rails and transfer support should be checked against the smallest and largest packs.
