Carton, Tray & Box Conveyors UK: what to check first
The best carton conveyor depends on the size range, weight, base condition, speed and whether products must stop, queue, turn, merge or transfer at right angles. Roller pitch and belt support matter for small or flexible bases.
Powered roller conveyors suit many cartons and totes, especially where accumulation or zoned flow is required. Belt conveyors can be better where products need continuous base support or where small trays would not bridge rollers cleanly.
A practical specification should also include operator access, packing bench positions, scanner or labeller locations, safety requirements and expected future format growth.

Carton, Tray & Box Conveyors UK FAQs
Should cartons use belt or roller conveyors?
It depends on the carton base and the required function. Rollers suit many rigid flat-bottomed cartons; belts give continuous support for smaller or less stable products.
Can conveyors feed packing benches?
Yes. Conveyors can be arranged to present products to operators and move packed goods to the next stage.
What are the key specification details?
Send carton size range, weight, base material, route, speed, accumulation need and whether products must turn, merge or stop.
