Conveyors play a central role in automatic packaging machines (fillers, cappers, labelers, monoblocks) as well as in complete production lines. They ensure the transportation of containers throughout the entire packaging process, from start to finish. At CDA USA, we design and manufacture all the conveyors used in our equipment, allowing us to precisely tailor them to your needs.
The conveyor: a key component of the packaging system
Conveyors facilitate the continuous transport of containers between each stage of the packaging process, whether it’s filling, capping, or labeling. They ensure smooth movement without risk of jolts or damage to the products. To guarantee the durability, longevity, and hygiene of our conveyors, we offer a wide range of stainless steel options.
Advantages of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel offers numerous advantages: its resistance to corrosion, ability to withstand humid or aggressive environments (such as chemicals or food products), and ease of maintenance. For these reasons, it is highly recommended in industries like food processing, cosmetics, and chemicals.
Stainless Steel Conveyors tailored to every type of container
We offer three widths of stainless steel conveyors, each specifically designed for different types of containers:
- 82.6 mm: For standard products (like honey jars, perfume bottles, alcohol bottles, etc.). This size is ideal for containers with a diameter ranging from 30 to 80 mm, providing excellent stability.
- 114 mm: For intermediate formats. This model is designed to handle containers with diameters ranging from 80 to 120 mm, such as shampoo bottles, cream jars, or cans.
- 190 mm: This conveyor is suitable for containers with diameters from 120 to 180 mm, such as paint buckets or plastic drums. It is perfect for handling larger products that require more robust transport.
This variety allows us to meet the specific constraints of each product.
Optimized design for your facilities
Our conveyors are also designed to integrate perfectly with the layout and ergonomics of your workshops or laboratories. Depending on available space and your working methods, we offer different configurations: linear, U-shaped, or L-shaped. This flexibility allows us to create efficient packaging lines even in complex environments.
Aluminum Conveyors
In addition to our stainless steel range, we also offer aluminum conveyors, which provide a lighter and more cost-effective solution.
Although aluminum is more prone to corrosion and less durable than stainless steel, it remains an appealing option in industries where resistance is not as critical, such as for brewers or winemakers. Aluminum conveyors are available in 82.6 mm and 190 mm widths and are ideal for environments where cost is a significant factor.
Example of the Ninon Mix Automatic Labeler
Our Ninon Mix automatic labeler is equipped with a 82.6 mm aluminum conveyor, designed to handle products of various shapes (cylindrical, square, oval, etc.). This conveyor ensures smooth synchronization between the labeling stations, ensuring fast and precise application, even with multiple labels.
While the standard equipment comes with an aluminum conveyor, there is an option to upgrade to a stainless steel conveyor. This option is available on all models except the E Fill and E Fill SW, which come standard with a stainless steel conveyor.
A flexible solution for every production line
Machines equipped with conveyors can also benefit from additional stainless steel conveyor options, allowing for tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of each production line. Our conveyors are available in 114.3 mm and 190.5 mm widths, ensuring perfect adaptation to the dimensions of the products being labeled.
A Custom solution for every project
No matter the industry or product, we have a conveyor solution that guarantees smooth and controlled processes. Each project benefits from the option to choose from various types of chains, available in materials such as orange or gray plastic, or stainless steel, sometimes with a mirror finish. This customization ensures that our conveyors are perfectly suited to your products while meeting the hygiene and safety standards of each industry.
