Bi-Directional Reversible Conveyor Systems

Introduction & Company Integration

We deliver adaptable flow lines that provide essential flexibility and process control. Our reversible conveyors are built with symmetrical drives and robust tracking systems, ensuring seamless, stable product movement regardless of the operational direction. We provide the versatile link needed in quality control loops, multi-function packaging lines, and production environments where the product may need to be cycled back for rework or reprocessing.

Application Fields

• Quality Control/Rework Loops: Running product forward for inspection, then reversing flow to send acceptable product downstream or rejected product back to a rework spur.

• Inbound/Outbound Dock Use: Using a single main conveyor line to handle both incoming inventory flow and outgoing finished goods at different times of the day.

• Recirculation Buffering: Creating a simple, closed-loop system where product continuously recirculates until a downstream manual or automated station is ready to accept it.

• Flexible Assembly Lines: Transporting components where the sequence of operations may be inverted or changed daily based on product mix.

Product Specification

Material Selection Guide

Materials focus on low stretch and robust tracking under bidirectional tension:

• Belting: High-tensile, multi-ply PVC or Urethane flat belting with an embedded tracking V-guide (if necessary) for superior tracking reliability.

• Pulleys/Rollers: Steel pulleys with crowned or precision-machined profiles to ensure positive belt alignment in both travel directions.

• Drive: Gear motor integrated with a shaft-mounted VFD for precise electronic control over the acceleration and deceleration ramps.
