A customer needed a way to automatically convey his products into the next phase of manufacturing. However, they also needed personnel access to the machinery from time to time, and this new conveyor would be in the way. We discussed gate sections but the conveyor width made that impractical. The customer needed non-marking rollers, about …
A budget and floor space restricted opportunity was presented to LEWCO by one of our integrators. The customer needed to convey two different sizes of round metal products in an alternating release to the next operation. LEWCO always recommends powered conveyors in any automatic process, but the customer was unable to justify a powered conveyor. …

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. …

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 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 …
