UK supportLayout planningMachine integrationQuote checklist
Buyer focus
Tubs and pots need a support surface that suits the base.
The conveyor surface, width and transfer design should match the base size, filled weight and presentation requirements of the tub or pot.
Where products are lidded, labelled or coded, the layout also needs to allow access for inspection and adjustment.
What to compare
- Base size and product stability
- Belt or chain support surface
- Space for lidding and inspection
- Packing or accumulation after labelling
Information to send
- Tub or pot dimensions
- Filled weight and lid type
- Line speed and machine sequence
- Operator access and cleaning needs
Layout planning
Check these four points before you confirm the conveyor route.
Small details at planning stage can prevent unstable transfers, awkward access and output issues later.
Start with the product
Confirm size, weight, base shape and stability before choosing the conveyor type.
Check the machines
Match conveyor height, speed and direction to the equipment on either side.
Allow for access
Keep room for loading, cleaning, adjustment, inspection and safe operation.
Plan the buffer
Decide whether the line needs accumulation to protect output during short stops.
