Conveyor Side Guides: what matters before quoting

Side guides are often a small detail with a large effect on conveyor performance. Poor guiding can create scuffing, tipping, jamming or awkward changeovers.

The right guide style depends on product shape, base stability, speed, curve radius and whether products need to move in single file or accumulate.

Guide adjustment should be considered if the same line handles multiple containers or pack sizes.
