A national manufacturer of steel propane tanks and pressure vessels needed to increase their productivity and output. Their current conveyor system was outdated and inadequate to keep up with increasing demand. They required a conveyor capable of handling steel cylinders ranging from 24″ O.D. to 47″ O.D., with lengths ranging from 6ft to 24ft and …
One of LEWCO’s customers needed to replace an existing manual push gravity system with an automatic powered system. LEWCO engineers worked with the customer to determine the best equipment and layout for the task. Forklifts drop off wood pallets of parts, weighing up to 2,700 lbs each, to stage for a robotic weld cell. Near …
The engineering team at LEWCO recently worked with a customer to design a process line for modifying extruded aluminum beams. They already had a multi-strand walking beam to buffer and feed parts onto the line, so to minimize drives a notched conveyor design was developed to fit around the existing equipment. A special center section …

LEWCO recently built a pallet staging queue for a large automotive manufacturer. This queue is a compact 2×3 arrangement of zones. Pallets are dropped off by AGV, full of parts. They move through (3) staging zones before being manually unloaded in zone 4 by operators. The empty pallets move on through zones 5 and 6 …
LEWCO recently completed some equipment that may interest you. One of our customers needed support equipment for their furnace line, so LEWCO engineered heavy duty chain driven live roller, chain transfers, and a turntable for their heat-treat trays. Loads were a maximum of 1,000 lbs per 24” x 24” tray. The new conveyors had to …
A customer came to LEWCO needing (2) systems to get pallets of frozen food in and out of a freezer without having to drive forklifts in and out. They only needed (1) dropoff/pickup zone per system in the ambient area, but multiple pallet zones inside the freezer. Pallets needed to turn 90 degrees once they passed …
Recently a customer requested pallet handling conveyor for their (2) robotic palletizers. For flexibility and to maximize robot up-time, LEWCO built (2) pallet dispensers that could feed either of the two robots. To create a buffer queue for stacks of empty pallets, a chain conveyor was placed in front of each pallet dispenser. Floor space …
A system was needed to buffer automotive engine blocks through operator workstations and processes. Since the engine blocks were already machined, the conveyor rollers needed to be hard chrome plated with a smooth finish. The engine blocks were required to be conveyed in both upright and inverted orientations, so split-lane CDLR was used in flat …
