Reduce Manual Handling with Conveyors UK
Powered conveyor planning to reduce manual carrying, repeated lifting and product movement between production or packing stages.

Use these pages when the project starts with a production problem rather than a known conveyor type.

Planning pages
Many conveyor enquiries begin with a practical problem: products jam, operators carry too much, the line queues or a new machine needs connecting.
These pages help describe the issue clearly so the conveyor options can be matched to the real cause.

Problem definition
A jam, bottleneck or manual-handling issue should be described by location, frequency, product condition and the event that triggers it. The correct solution may be a transfer correction, guide change, control sequence, buffer or different conveyor type.
Inspect support gap, height, speed relationship, guides and product centre of gravity.
Compare upstream/downstream rates, stop patterns and recovery capacity.
Calculate required buffer time and permissible product pressure.
The initial enquiry does not need a finished engineering drawing, but it should separate confirmed data from assumptions. Record the load range, route, target flow, operating environment and interfaces. Unknown values can then be measured or tested rather than guessed.
Project review
Lancing can use the product, route and operating information to define the next engineering checks and quotation scope.
