Conventional conveyor systems often involve continuous conveying technology for the uninterrupted flow of materials using roller conveyors, chain conveyors, or belt conveyors. For large load carriers such as pallets, up to 300 load carriers can be transported per hour. Depending on the material flow, container conveyor technology can handle between 1,800 and 3,000 small load carriers per hour.
High-performance electric floor conveyor systems are primarily used for transporting pallets in the feed zone of automated high-bay warehouses and for connecting production lines. Throughput rates of up to 600 pallets per hour can be achieved using multiple transport vehicles.
