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 …
Our Integrator’s customer needed to combine several lanes of gravity roller conveyor into limited space in his multi-floor Distribution center. The conveyor needed to travel continuous from the second level to the ground level. After considering 180° curves (powered and non-powered), right angle pushers, and cross lane transfers, they decided on the continuously rotating disc …
LEWCO recently provided a Laminate Counter Manufacturer with a multi-level laminate pallet storage rack. LEWCO designed a heavy duty, welded structure, to support both levels of conveyor, as the weight of the laminate pallets. The application required a solution to convey pallets with only 3 points of contact along the width of the product. LEWCO …
LEWCO often has the opportunity to build conveyors for special purposes, usually as part of a larger system. Recently LEWCO built this conveyor which was to be repeatedly submerged into a cooling tank. The cooling tank water was around 150 degrees F. Although the conveyors did not need to run while submerged, careful design consideration …
LEWCO recently provided an ergonomic roll handling supplier with a 90 degree pneumatic turntable with a custom Dual Lane Troughed Slider Bed Belt Conveyor to transport the rolls to different machines. LEWCO designed a belt conveyor with motorized pulleys in order to keep the size down to a minimum and still handle the 2,000 lbs. …

LEWCO shipped a large conveyor system recently that included operator push-off sorting lanes for poly drums. There is an elevated walkway along the outside of the powered roller conveyor, on which the operators walk/stand to sort the drums. The rollers have full width Ultrex sleeves to minimize catch points and promote low friction. When a …
Recently, LEWCO was asked to move product between several queue stations with a transfer car. The load was substantial, 60” square and up to 4,000 lbs. Our engineers worked with the customer to provide heavy-duty Chain Driven Live Roller conveyors with 3.5” diameter .300” wall rollers. The same conveyor was mounted to a powered transfer …

Slat Conveyors are used in horizontal conditions and operating at relatively slow speeds. They are generally used to move items that are not typically conveyable on rollers or belts, due to an irregular shape or bottom condition. They can also be used in assembly operations by modifying the slats to accommodate assembly fixtures. Steel Hinge …

Turntables provide a method of rotating unit loads when material lines intersect or change directions. Unlike Chain Transfer Devices, they maintain product orientation through an intersection. They can also be used to reverse the orientation of a product or allow a pass through depending on application requirements. LEWCO Standard Turntable Conveyor Product Line: View …
