Today, accurate and quick order-picking and distribution are key to successful business performance. Maintaining your operations at optimal standards means creating the most reliable and highest-quality system possible, and for that, you need the best partner you can find.
Growing demand of B2C has resulted in the emergence of multiple delivery models and distribution hub types:
Most of these involve a basic model of receiving (infeed), sorting and dispatching (outfeed) which we concentrate on in this section.

Actual factory and process configurations could vary, but our industry experts know them all.
Loading and unloading parcels directly from trailers / vehicles with telescopic conveyors. Telescopic conveyors extend into the vehicle and collapse away after use.
Same as telescopic but used when unloading / loading smaller trailers / vehicles. Tail section lowers to allow conveying from different heights.
At the heart of the logistics operation, line conveyors often do the bulk of the work. They also consume much of the energy used.
Parcels often need to change levels within the operation such as inclines from the infeed (trailers / booms) to sorter system levels.
Power turns, curved conveyors / belts, change the direction of the line flow in the system.
In material handling, live roller conveyors are essential. It is not only for A to B transport, order picking or sorting processes are also done on live roller drives conveyors.
A flat belt drives the conical carrying rollers at the inner radius. Since a flat belt cannot be bent into a curve across its lateral cross section.
An Automatic Parcel Singulator (APS) transforms a simple bulk-flow system into an ergonomically and operationally efficient system, giving you downstream and upstream control of parcel flow.
The stage of the operation where parcels are accumulated (collected) to ensure a constant flow into the induction stage.
Feed the parcels into the sorter system at even gaps. 4 to 6 section conveyors for spacing to allow accurate measured infeed into the sorter.
Merge conveyors are designed to link conveyors within the system, precisely adding parcels from one conveyor line to another at high rates of speed.
Merge conveyors are designed to link conveyors within the system, precisely adding parcels from one conveyor line to another at high rates of speed.
A number of conveyors are used in the system to check weight, dimensions & labels (bar codes) of the parcels.
Cross Belt Sorters are completely at home in the high-speed environment helping to minimise transfer times while maximising conveying performance.
Ammeraal Beltech quality ensures maximum service life.
Pullers, pushers, merging facilities - all of these processes require belts that have special coatings to guarantee the firmest possible grip and smooth transport of parcels.
