Different Types of Overhead Conveyor System

Powder coating line overhead conveyor system and wet spray painting line overhead conveyor system are the most typical type of overhead hanging conveyors which are mounted above with products hung from it. Power chain or overhead monorail systems utilise a continuous chain running in or on a track. The heavy duty, drop forged power chain conveyor providing transport for a range of fabrications in the modern powder coating plant or workshop.

We offer an extensive range of aerial conveyor systems ranging from simple manual systems, through powered single line, inverted monorail system(IMS) to complex Power & Free conveyor systems. These different paint line conveyor systems have been developed for unit load weights from a few grams to 5ton. All the overhead conveyor systems have been typically used for surface finishing industry, automotive, body shop, paint shop, engine assembly, textile logistics and clothing logistics, E-commerce, intralogistics industry, omnichannel retail, carton delivery system, distribution and sorting, garment handling system, displays and entertainment in shopping malls and super market, industrial production and so on.

There are six main types of overhead conveyor: power chain or monorail overhead conveyor; power and free overhead conveyor; electrified monorail system(EMS conveyor); Electrified floor track systems; overhead trolley conveyor system; towline system. Each one is manufactured using a modular construction and standard components in different configurations.

The heavy-duty I-beam overhead conveyor is a monorail conveyor system where a chain rides on an i-shaped metal beam that is suspended horizontally from the ceiling. Items are transported on pendants or trolleys that hang down from the ibeam and are propelled by the chain. I-beam monorail overhead conveyors allow easier product handling in a variety of applications, including final assembly, paint finishing system, electrostatic coating, liquid painting, storage, and more.

The enclosed track overhead conveyors prevent contamination from reaching the chain and any open surfaces, reducing cleaning and maintenance costs. They are also named as overhead tube track system, powder coating track system or overhead enclosed track system. The drive chain is enclosed in either a round or box tube rail, with items transported on pendants or trolleys that hang down from the closed-track conveyor. Medium and heavy-duty tube chain conveyor systems are available to suit a variety of needs including manufacturing, e-coating and plating, cleaning and pretreatment, wood finishing, trash removal, and more.

Power & Free overhead conveyor, also called asynchronous conveyor, has a twin track arrangement where a powered chain is mounted above a free running trolley track. These conveyors carry loads on individual pendants that can move at different paces, start and stop independently, and even change tracks. They are named for their two tracks – one powered and one “free” or unpowered(Dual track system). This design features high flexibility, allowing products to be diverted for various processes and accumulated for buffer storage.

Overhead monorail system is a flexible, friction-based overhead conveyors for picking, sorting, storage and production solutions. The drive mechanism consists of a friction belt or a rotating tube driven by a worm gearmotor. Light weight due to its aluminum alloy profile tracks, this hanging conveyor features efficient, rapid speed, clean and quiet, with consistent and smooth transportation, whether it’s order picking, sorting, storage and retrieval, assembly or manufacturing. Furthermore, the entire production does not have to stop during any adjustments or if any errors occur (which is the case with chain driven conveyors). The friction drive overhead conveyors could meet the requirements imposed on lean conveyor solutions. It also used at supermarket, shopping mall for display, retail or carton delivery system. 

Manual overhead conveyor systems are designed around a track with trolleys that are hand pushed by operators. These types of conveyors are ideal and cost effective when throughputs are relatively low. Junair’s manual conveyors are flexible, modular standard systems with customised solutions, such as powered sections in the conveyor circuit, vertical drop and lift sections and switching/turning gates. They offer a simple and reliable solution to your material handling problem. It improves ergonomics at loading points where heavy goods or work-pieces are handled, and can be used as a buffer zone or a storage facility between different steps in the production flow.

Electrified monorail conveyors, shortened as EMS conveyors, utilise individual motorised trolleys with an inbuilt motor controlled by a busbar coupled to the track.

A towline conveyor is an inverted overhead chain conveyor. It is also called ground tow cart conveyor. These floor conveyor systems are either mounted on or in the floor and are used to move products either directly from the chain on a jig or they can be used as a pushing or pulling medium for automatically moving products on work trolleys through various processes. The inverted floor conveyor systems include two main types: Monorail floor conveyors and Inverted Power & Free floor conveyors. Both of these two inverted floor chain conveyors can operate in a wide range of demanding industries.

Moreover, there are Skates & Rails conveyor systems. Bodyshops or automobile factory often utilise transfer systems, a vehicle is placed on lightweight aluminium skates and manually moved along rails from one area and process to the next. Skate and rail systems can be surface mounted, floor mounted or installed flush to the building floor. 

With different loading weight or lift capacity, Overhead Conveyors can be divided as Light Duty overhead conveyor system, Medium Duty overhead conveyor system and Heavy Duty overhead conveyor system, ranging from 200 lbs to 1200 lbs per hook loading(Note: Load bars are available to increase hook loading). Constructed as different structure, Overhead Conveyors come in three basic styles: Round enclosed track overhead conveyor system, Rectangular enclosed track overhead conveyor system, and carbon steel I-beam overhead conveyor system, 3”, 4” and 6”. Including X348 I beam overhead conveyor system, X458 I beam overhead conveyor chain system, and X678 overhead conveyor chain system. Made by different raw material, there can be aluminum alloy overhead conveyor and stainless steel overhead chain conveyor. Sorted by different drive mechanism, they are grouped as overhead chainless conveyor system (chain-free conveyor), and overhead chain conveyor system. The chainless type includes monorail track conveyor, shuttle conveyor, pallet monorails system. The chain type includes: Drag chain overhead conveyor, overhead chain monorail system, overhead trolley conveyor system. Based on virous applications, the overhead conveyor can be made as powder coating chain conveyor system, sorting conveyors, property storage conveyor, automatic order assembly conveyor system, order picking system, retail display conveyor system, greenhouse conveyor system, order assembly conveyor, power tube pin conveyor.

The pretreatment overhead conveyor or electrodeposition overhead conveyor is used in the pretreatment, electrophoresis and electrodeposition process in a painting factory. It is a tact type conveyor by using electrical motor and electric hoist. The length of the processing device can be shortened compared to the continuous type conveyor. This overhead type conveyor has a lifting function and a traveling function separately. The automobile body can be mounted directly or mounted on the skid, either manually or automatically.

We also offer some special custom overhead conveyor systems for some special applications, such as: Pouch sorter, Skid conveyor system, Skillet conveyor system, Four wheels conveyor, Spindle line, Powered pallet conveyor system, Overhead transfers conveyor, Slat conveyor, Roller systems and Overhead slaughter conveyors for cattle, pigs and sheep.

Application of Industrial Overhead Conveyor System

Overhead conveyors for finishing system are typically used in manufacturing facilities to move parts from one location to another. They take advantage of the generally unused vertical space above the work area. Using curved sections or lift stations, they bring parts down to operator level and back up to higher levels. Overhead conveyors can pass through production or process areas such as powder coating booth, sandblasting, cleaning, oven, liquid spray painting booths, automatic reciprocators, robotic work cells, etc. so the system also named as overhead conveyor powder coating system, dip tank conveyor, paint booth conveyor system

Assembly line overhead conveyor systems are designed for a wide range of industrial material handling applications including parts handling, overhead storage and assembly lines in manufacturing or distribution centres. In the finishing / surface treatment industry, overhead conveyors are used to move products through processes such as spray booth, dip painting, plating, e-coating, ovens, powder coating, abrasive blast room and cleaning. 

Spray painting overhead conveyor systems are easy to implement in most facilities because their modular design is meant to bypass the complicated twists and turns of floor-mounted machines. They are energy efficient and use less power than most other conveyor types. When used correctly, overhead conveyor systems for painting line are an incredibly efficient, safe and reliable means of conveying which maximizes space and minimizes disruption.

For continuous and indexed transport of products, a hanging chain conveyor is often the best and most economical solution. Chain conveyors are often used as a vehicle in surface treatment, assembly, production, distribution and storage processes.  Applied to different industries, it can be powder coating overhead conveyor system for paint line, overhead storage conveyor for storage of product, carton handling conveyor for empty carton box delivery to order pickers or plastic tote box delivery, automatic sheep processing conveyor for slaughter house, and hanging garment conveyor system for garment production and handling. In restaurant or hotel, the overhead conveyor system can be used as automatic robot machine to transfer food, vegetable, fruits or dishes etc.
