Conveyor and Transfer Engineering

Conveyor and transfer engineering is the design, implementation, and optimization of systems that automate material handling within industrial settings. There are different types of conveyors such as belt conveyors, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, and transfer stations. Each of these components works together to ensure smooth, efficient movement of materials through production lines, minimizing delays and manual intervention.

Key conveyor components include:

• Conveyor Belts: Used for transporting materials across distances.
• Transfer Systems: Enable the smooth transition of materials between different conveyor lines.
• Rollcase and Jump Rollcase Systems: Rollcase and jump rollcase systems are integral in the lumber and forestry industry, facilitating precise material movement and preventing jams in processing lines.
• Jump Chains: A critical tool for handling heavy logs or other materials, jump chains improve the efficiency and reliability of material movement in sawmills and manufacturing settings.
• Log Decks and Landing Tables:Designed to handle large loads like logs, these components are common in the forestry and wood products industries.
• Infeed Decks, Infeed Transfers and Outfeed Transfers: Ensure smooth transitions of materials in and out of conveyor systems, particularly in automated production environments.
• Automated Controls: Systems equipped with PLC controls, sensors, and cameras to monitor and manage material flow.

Applications of conveyor and transfer systems are essential across industries to streamline operations, reduce bottlenecks, and improve productivity.

Every facility has unique material handling needs, and a one-size-fits-all conveyor system simply won’t do. At Crow Engineering, we design and develop custom conveyor solutions tailored to the specific materials, workflows, and operational demands of your industry. Whether it’s belt conveyors for high-speed transport, chain conveyors for heavy-duty loads, or roller conveyors for smooth product movement, we engineer solutions that prioritize efficiency, durability, and seamless operation. Our designs account for factors like load capacity, environmental conditions, and integration with existing infrastructure to ensure long-term performance and reliability.

Facilitate precise material movement and prevent jams in processing lines.

For companies looking to enhance their existing material handling infrastructure, we specialize in seamless conveyor system integration and upgrades. Whether you’re adding new conveyors to an existing production line or upgrading outdated equipment for improved performance, our engineering team ensures a smooth transition with minimal downtime. We assess current workflows, identify bottlenecks, and implement smart automation, speed enhancements, and system optimizations to improve productivity. With Crow Engineering, you don’t just get an upgraded conveyor system—you get a strategically optimized material handling solution that enhances operational efficiency.

Even the best conveyor systems require ongoing maintenance to operate efficiently over time.

Crow Engineering provides comprehensive maintenance and support services to help businesses reduce downtime, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure continuous productivity. Our preventative maintenance programs are designed to identify potential issues before they become major problems, while our engineering assessments and troubleshooting services provide fast and effective solutions for any system malfunctions. Whether you need routine inspections, emergency repairs, or long-term performance optimization, our team is ready to keep your material handling systems running smoothly.
