Material Handling

Custom designed, configured and installed for your plant’s application and line layout. Required speeds along with efficiency and reliable motors and downtime. Continuous conveyor speeds ranging from 3 to 60+ fpm are common as well batch-type indexing systems for very large parts and/or low production volume parts.  KMI has experience with designing the following types of systems:

Material Handling Equipment

Enclosed Track Systems

This type of conveyor is used in conveying light weight parts up to 125 lbs.  These systems are very flexible in design and easy to maintain.  The 8” pitch allows and tight radius turns allow small part to easily be hung  very close increase though put.

Over Head I-Beam

This type of conveyor is very common for most industrial material handling operations.  The simple and rugged design makes this a very popular choice when designing conveyor systems. 

Chain On Edge

This conveyor is typical used to transport one part at a time.  In this design the chain is located below the part.  The part is held up by tooling supported off of the chain.  This type of conveyor is ideal for small parts which are required to be rotated while being washed or painted.  Some of the typical parts processed on this conveyer are car rims, burner caps and automotive oil filters.
